The aim of the study was to analyze the relationship between being bullied and the physical fitness components, and to determine whether a healthy physical fitness level is related with lower victimization in children and adolescents with overweight and obesity compared to unfit overweight/obese peers.
The present cross-sectional study included a total of 7,714 youths (9-17 years), categorized as normal-weight or overweight/obese and fit or unfit according to sex-specific handgrip strength and cardiorespiratory fitness (CRF) cut-points. Bullying (physical, verbal, social exclusion, sexual harassment, and cyberbullying) was assessed through the Standard Health Behavior in School-aged Children survey questions.
Boys and girls that were categorized as fit (healthy level of CRF) showed lower traditional bullying compared to unfit counterparts. Also, a healthy level of CRF could be a protective factor of traditional bullying among overweight/obese youths compared to unfit overweight/obese peers.
CRF is related with lower risk for experiencing traditional bullying in Latino youths with and without obesity, thus emphasizing the role of fitness even among youth with excess of adiposity.
本研究的目的是分析受欺负与身体素质成分之间的关系,并确定与不健康的超重/肥胖同龄人相比,健康的身体素质水平是否与超重和肥胖儿童及青少年受欺负程度较低相关。
本横断面研究共纳入7714名青少年(9 - 17岁),根据性别特异性握力和心肺适能(CRF)切点分为正常体重或超重/肥胖以及健康或不健康。通过《学龄儿童标准健康行为》调查问卷评估欺负行为(身体欺负、言语欺负、社交排斥、性骚扰和网络欺负)。
与不健康的同龄人相比,被归类为健康(CRF健康水平)的男孩和女孩遭受的传统欺负较少。此外,与不健康的超重/肥胖同龄人相比,健康的CRF水平可能是超重/肥胖青少年遭受传统欺负的一个保护因素。
CRF与有或没有肥胖的拉丁裔青少年遭受传统欺负的风险较低相关,从而强调了身体素质在即使是肥胖青少年中的作用。
