The main aim of this study is to examine age and gender differences in cardiorespiratory fitness (CRF) among Serbian secondary school children. The secondary aim is to explore the association between CRF and quality of life in Serbian adolescents. The sample consisted of 579 adolescents (285 males), aged from 14 to 18 years old. To evaluate their anthropometric measurements, body height and body weight were examined, the 20 m shuttle run test was used to access CRF, and the standardized global measure of wellbeing KIDSCREEN was used to access the wellbeing of adolescents. The results show that the boys possessed higher CRF compared to the girls, as well as higher scores on variable distance, but there were no significant differences according to age. CRF was positively associated with physical wellbeing, psychological wellbeing, total score HRQL, body height and body weight, and negatively correlated with BMI. Conversely, physical wellbeing showed positive correlation with the other subscales of KIDSCREEN (psychological wellbeing, autonomy and parents, peers and social support, and school environment), and total score of (Health-Related Quality of Life) HRQL. The results showed that better CRF would be beneficial for quality of life among Serbian adolescents, especially among girls. Moreover, the relationship between CRF and BMI shows that adolescents with regular values of BMI have better physical fitness and wellbeing.
本研究的主要目的是调查塞尔维亚中学生心肺适能（CRF）的年龄和性别差异。次要目的是探究塞尔维亚青少年心肺适能与生活质量之间的关联。样本包括579名14至18岁的青少年（285名男性）。为评估他们的人体测量数据，测量了身高和体重，采用20米往返跑测试评估心肺适能，使用标准化的全球幸福感测量工具KIDSCREEN评估青少年的幸福感。结果显示，男孩的心肺适能高于女孩，在可变距离上的得分也更高，但在年龄方面没有显著差异。心肺适能与身体健康、心理健康、健康相关生活质量（HRQL）总分、身高和体重呈正相关，与体重指数（BMI）呈负相关。相反，身体健康与KIDSCREEN的其他子量表（心理健康、自主性与父母、同伴与社会支持以及学校环境）以及（健康相关生活质量）HRQL总分呈正相关。结果表明，更好的心肺适能对塞尔维亚青少年的生活质量有益，尤其是对女孩。此外，心肺适能与BMI之间的关系表明，BMI值正常的青少年身体素质和幸福感更好。
