Analyses were adjusted for socioeconomic status (SES). Results: Higher percent fat was inversely associated with VO_2peak normalized for mass (r = -0.780, P < 0.001) even after controlling for physical activity (r = -0.673, P < 0.001). While higher percent fat was also inversely associated with VO_2peak normalized for FFM, this was only significant in males (r = -0.247, P = 0.004) and did not persist after controlling for physical activity (r = -0.059 P = 0.526). Compared with normal-weight children, obese children had higher absolute VO_2peak, lower VO_2peak corrected for mass (P = 0.009) and lower VO_2peak corrected for FFM (P = 0.041) that did not persist after controlling for SES (P = 0.086). Conclusion: Obesity-related inefficiencies in CRF were evident. Higher adiposity was associated with poorer CRF relative to mass, irrespective of physical activity levels. However, low physical activity levels may be responsible for associations between adiposity and CRF relative to FFM seen in boys, indicating the importance of encouraging physical activity.]]> Thu 28 Oct 2021 13:02:48 AEDT ]]>
