Abstract:
Introduction
The children who eat breakfast, have better cardiorespiratory fitness (CRF), and enhanced ability to learn as compared to others who do not follow this pathway. The aim of this study is to analyse the relations between the eating breakfast, body composition and CRF in school children.
Materials And Methods
A cross-sectional study was carried out including 164 girls aged between 9 to 11 years. Body composition, CRF and Physical Activity level were assessed during school time. Frequency of eating breakfast was assessed by a questionnaire and classified as never, sometimes or always. Fitness was estimated from a 540 m test and the participants were classified as having low or high CRF. Body composition was evaluated and children were classified as obese or non-obese. PA was estimated from physical activity questionnaire and the participants were classified as having low or high PA.
Results
Frequency of eating breakfast showed that 18% of school children never had breakfast, 24% ate sometimes and 58% always ate breakfast. There was no significant relation between the frequency of breakfast and anthropometric characteristic. Breakfast consumption was not associated with physical activity (p=0.3) and with CRF (p=0.3).
Conclusion
fitness level, body composition and PA are not associated with the frequency of eating breakfast in schoolchildren
