Pre-Birth and Early-Life Factors Associated With the Timing of Adiposity Peak and Rebound: A Large Population-Based Longitudinal Study [PDF]
Background: The late occurrence of adiposity peak (AP) and the early occurrence of adiposity rebound (AR) are considered the earliest indicators for obesity and its related health conditions later in life.

Stage- and sex-specific associations of prenatal individual and mixed metals exposure with adiposity peak and adiposity rebound among children: a prospective birth cohort study [PDF]
Background Adiposity peak (AP) and adiposity rebound (AR) are key indicators of early childhood growth, which are closely related to obesity, premature puberty, and metabolic abnormalities.

Longitudinal association between the timing of adiposity peak and rebound and overweight at seven years of age [PDF]
Background The timing of adiposity peak (AP) or adiposity rebound (AR) is a determinant of overweight or obesity in adolescence and adulthood. However, limited studies have reported the association in young school-age children.

Early Cardiac Dysfunction in Adolescents With Low Vigorous Physical Activity [PDF]
Background Adverse left ventricular diastolic function (LVDF) is an early marker of cardiac dysfunction that worsens with age and can lead to heart failure. It is unclear when this deterioration begins and whether physical activity (PA) influences it. We

Effects of combined training on heart rate variability and cardiac function and structure in individuals with grade 1 obesity [PDF]
Excess body fat, particularly in the abdominal region, increases the risk of cardiovascular disease. Conversely, aerobic training can induce beneficial effects on heart rate variability (HRV), as well as on cardiac structure and function, along with ...
