Evaluating health-related, physical fitness (HRPF) in adolescents from a town having a medium/low Human Development Index (HDI).
This was a descriptive study involving 627 adolescents (266 boys and 361 girls) from public schools aged 14 to 17. Anthropometric measurements were obtained and the students were given motor tests analysed according to the cut-off points suggested by US Physical Best fitness standards (1988).
Low physical fitness was observed amongst the students being studied, thereby presenting a health risk in terms of flexibility (40.8 %), muscle strength/endurance (98.5 %) and cardio respiratory fitness (35.4 %); 25 % of the students did not fulfil the body composition criteria. Overall classification in the three motor tests revealed a high percentage of students from both genders (boys: 99.6 % and girls: 100 %) who did not fulfil the preestablished criteria for having a satisfactory level of physical fitness.
The results indicated that implementing intervention aimed at the school-age population having poor HRPF is of fundamental importance.
评估来自人类发展指数处于中低水平城镇的青少年的健康相关身体素质（HRPF）。
这是一项描述性研究，涉及627名14至17岁公立学校的青少年（266名男孩和361名女孩）。进行了人体测量，并根据美国体能最佳标准（1988年）建议的临界点对学生进行了运动测试分析。
在所研究的学生中观察到身体素质较低，从而在灵活性（40.8%）、肌肉力量/耐力（98.5%）和心肺适能（35.4%）方面存在健康风险；25%的学生未达到身体成分标准。三项运动测试的总体分类显示，两个性别的学生中未达到既定的令人满意的身体素质水平标准的比例都很高（男孩：99.6%，女孩：100%）。
结果表明，针对HRPF较差的学龄人群实施干预至关重要。
