To evaluate the effect of an aquatic physical exercise program on serum levels of insulin-like growth factor-1 (IGF-1) in older adults. Method: The design of the research was quasi-experimental, with nonprobabilistic sampling for convenience, involving 49 older adults, who were randomly divided into 18 males (age 66.4 ± 6.1 years) in an experimental group (n=10) and a control group (n=8) and 31 female subjects (age 65.4 ± 5.7 years) in an experimental group (n=17) and a control group (n=14). The serum levels of insulinlike growth factor 1 (IGF-1), were determined through chemiluminescence using the Kit (Immulite 1000®). The aquatic physical exercise program was performed by 4 months, with sessions 5 times a week, with a duration of 50 minutes per session, according with the standards and recommendations of fiscal exercise and physical activity for the older adult proposed by the American College of Sports Medicine and the guides and standards for the aquatic fitness program of the aquatic exercise association. Results: The 2x2 mixed analysis of variance (ANOVA) tests showed doubly significant statistical differences between the groups and the measurements for the male IGF-1 (p=0.005) and (p=0.004) for the female Conclusion: It is established that the application of a program of aquatic physical exercise during four months can increase the IGF-1 in elderly.

The aim of this work was to estimate the prevalence of body fat, abdominal obesity and nutritional state in the students of the elementary school Salvador Jimenez Gomez in Mexicali Baja California. Mexico. Six hundred twenty-one children of 6 to 13 years old were studied, to determine the body fat, abdominal obesity and nutritional state, anthropometric measurements were taken and medial calf skinfolds, waist circumference, weight and height, body fat was determined according to the slaughter equation, abdominal obesity was determined ≥ 90 percentile according whit gender and age and Epi Info version 3.3.2 software was used to classify the overweight (≥ 85th percentile and < 95th percentile BMI for age and gender) and obesity (≥ 95th percentile BMI for age and gender) and through the body mass index (BMI). In our results, 19.1% of the students had overweight and 25.1% obesity. Combined overweight and obesity prevalence in boys was 51.3% while in girls was 37.4%. These results clearly show high prevalence of overweight and obesity in these children, in addition the children of this study were more overweight and obese than Mexican children average. It concludes that efforts should be made in this school to develop physical activity and nutrition programs to help stem rates of overweight and obesity. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
