Abstract

The article presents a study on whether cardiorespiratory fitness predicts increasing fat mass during growth in overweight Hispanic youth. Participants were 160 overweight Hispanic children. Findings suggest that cardiorespiratory fitness may be an important determinant of changes in adiposity in overweight Hispanic boys but not in girls.
