Abstract EN
The influence of body size and maturation on the responses in peak oxygen uptake (VO2) to a 12-week aerobic training and nutritional intervention in obese boys (n=30; 10–16 years) was examined using multilevel allometric regressions.
Anthropometry, sexual maturity status, peak VO2, and body composition were measured pre- and postintervention.
Significant decrements for body mass, body mass index z-score, and waist circumference and increments for stature, fat-free mass, and peak oxygen uptake were observed after intervention.
Partitioning body size on peak VO2, the responses of the individuals to training were positive (11.8% to 12.7% for body mass; 7.6% to 8.1% for fat-free mass).
Body mass and fat-free mass were found as significant explanatory variables, with an additional positive effect for chronological.
The allometric coefficients (k′) in the initial models were k′=0.883 and k′=1.058 for body mass and fat-free mass, respectively.
The coefficients decreased when age was considered (k′=0.530 for body mass; k′=0.860 for fat-free mass).
Including maturity indicator in the models was not significant, thus the influence of variability in sexual maturity status in responses to exercise-based intervention in peak VO2 may be mediated by the changes in body dimensions.
