Cardiovascular fitness and physical activity in children with and without impaired glucose tolerance

Objective: To examine differences in cardiovascular fitness (VO 2max ) and physical activity levels in overweight Hispanic children with normal glucose tolerance (NGT) vs impaired glucose tolerance (IGT). Participants: A total of 173 overweight (BMI percentile 97.0±3.1) Hispanic children ages 8–13 y...

Description
Summary:Objective: To examine differences in cardiovascular fitness (VO 2max ) and physical activity levels in overweight Hispanic children with normal glucose tolerance (NGT) vs impaired glucose tolerance (IGT). Participants: A total of 173 overweight (BMI percentile 97.0±3.1) Hispanic children ages 8–13 years with a family history of type 2 diabetes. Methods: V O 2max was measured via a maximal effort treadmill test and open circuit spirometry. Physical activity was determined by questionnaire. Glucose tolerance was established by a 2-h oral glucose challenge (1.75 g of glucose/kg body weight). IGT was defined from an oral glucose tolerance test as a 2-h plasma glucose level ⩾140 and
