Description
Summary:This study aims to verify the effect of social isolation arising from the Coronavirus pandemic (COVID-19) severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS-CoV-2) on vitamin D (25(OH)D) concentrations, motor performance, and cardiorespiratory fitness (CRF) in adolescents. This research method is Case-control study, which included 34 boys, aged 12-16 years. In the pre-pandemic period, 17 schoolchildren were evaluated in December 2019, classified according to body mass index Z-score (BMI-z) as: eutrophic (n=8) and overweight (n=9). The post-pandemic group was composed of 17 boys, evaluated in March 2022, matched with the same BMI-z characteristics. Stature, body mass, fat mass (FM), fat free mass (FFM), flexibility (FLEX), 25(OH)D, absolute CRF (CRFabs) and relative (CRFrel) were assessed. The Supine-to-Stand test (STSTIME) execution time was used to assess motor performance and motor competence by the motor patterns used in execution (STSMC). considering p
