To evaluate the correlation of physical activity, screen time and anthropometric parameters with cardiorespiratory fitness using the Ruffier Dickson test.
The cross-sectionalstudywas conductedatthe RiphahInternationalUniversity, Islamabad, Pakistan,fromOctober 2021 to May 2022, and comprised healthy undergraduate medical students of either gender aged 18-23 years. Anthropometric parameters were measured and standardised assessment tools were used to assess screen time and physical activity. Cardiorespiratory fitness was assessed using Ruffier Dickson test. Data was analysed using SPSS 26.
Of the 300 subjects, 186(62%) were females and 114(38%) were males. Body mass index, body weight, resting heart rate, height and the level of physical activity were significantly associated with cardiorespiratory fitness(p<0.05).
Physical activity, body weight and body massindex could independently predict cardiorespiratory fitness.
使用 Ruffier Dickson 测试评估身体活动、屏幕时间和人体测量参数与心肺适能的相关性。
本横断面研究于 2021 年 10 月至 2022 年 5 月在巴基斯坦伊斯兰堡的里法国际大学进行,纳入了年龄在 18-23 岁的健康本科医学生,无论性别。测量人体测量参数,并使用标准评估工具评估屏幕时间和身体活动。使用 Ruffier Dickson 测试评估心肺适能。使用 SPSS 26 进行数据分析。
在 300 名受试者中,186 名(62%)为女性,114 名(38%)为男性。体重指数、体重、静息心率、身高和身体活动水平与心肺适能显著相关(p<0.05)。
身体活动、体重和体重指数可独立预测心肺适能。
