Muscle Fitness Cut Points for Early Assessment of Cardiovascular Risk in Children and Adolescents

To study the cross-sectional and longitudinal (2-year follow-up) association between muscle fitness and cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk factors in youth; whether there are muscle fitness cut points associated with CVD risk (cross-sectional); and whether the health-related muscle fitness cut points identified at baseline are associated with CVD risk 2 years later.In total, 237 children (110 girls) aged 6-10 years and 274 adolescents (131 girls)...
