| Abstract | The aim of this study was to examine the associations of objectively measured physical activity (PA) and cardiorespiratory fitness (CRF) with different continuous metabolic syndrome (MetS) scores in adolescents. A cross-sectional sub-sample of 202 adolescents (99 girls), aged 13–17 years, were selected from the AFINOS Study. Body mass index, sum of 6 skindfold, waist circumference, systolic and diastolic blood pressure, insulin, glucose, triacylglycerol, and HDL-cholesterol levels were determined. Moderate PA (MPA), vigorous PA (VPA) and moderate to vigorous PA (MVPA) were assessed by the ActiGraph accelerometer for 7 consecutive days and CRF was estimated by the 20-m shuttle run test. Three continuous MetS scores were calculated according to the methodology of the Corpus Christi Child Heart Study (CCCHS), the Aerobic Center Longitudinal Study (ACLS), and the European Youth Heart Study (EYHS). VPA and MVPA were significantly related with CRF. Only CRF, and not patterns of PA, was inversely and independently associated with the three MetS scores although with different magnitudes (ranged: β = 0.22 to 0.36, p < 0.05). A significant VPA x CRF interaction (p = 0.011) was found using the ACLS MetS score. Trends across VPA-CRF groups were significantly different with ACLS and EYHS (p = 0.002 and p = 0.006, respectively), but not with CCCHS (p = 0.313) continuous MetS scores. These findings support the key role of CRF on the MetS and the relevance of PA, especially VPA, to provide CRF in adolescents. A unified pediatric definition of MetS might minimize the discrepancies among studies. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
