The most active child is not always the fittest: physical activity and fitness are weakly correlated

HIGHLIGHTS

SUMMARY

    More interestingly, the PAQ-C was not correlated with another step test (i.e., a modified version of the Harvard step test) or BMI in African American or Hispanic children but showed weak-to-moderate relationships with the BMI (r=-0.16) and cardiovascular fitness (r=0.30) in European American children. Overall, older children performed better on physical tests than younger children, confirming the same trend that emerged from previous studies for handgrip, balance (through the flamingo test in that case), and long-jump test. Counterintuitively, especially considering the reverse relationship between children . . .
