Weight Status, Physical Activity, Maturation and Functional Movement in Adolescence.: History Edit
Subjects: Allergy

Obesity, low level of physical activity and dysfunctional movement patterns present one of the leading health issues that can contribute to increased risk for developing not only metabolic and cardiovascular disease but also musculoskeletal problems. The aim of this paper is to summarize literature and evidence about the relationship between FM patterns, PA level and weight status in the average adolescent population. Also, this paper summarized current evidence about relations between maturation effects and functional movement among the athletic adolescent population. Summary of current evidence suggests that decreased physical activity level is negatively correlated to functional movement in adolescence. Also, most studies suggest that weight status is negatively correlated to functional movement patterns although there is conflicting evidence in this area. Evidence consistently showed that overweight and obese adolescents exhibit poorer functional movement compared to normal weight adolescents. In addition, it appears that maturation has effects on functional movement in the athletic population of adolescents. It is therefore important that practitioners consider interventions which develop optimal functional movement alongside physical activity and weight management strategies in children, in order to reduce the risks of injuries and pathological abnormality arising from suboptimal movement patterns in later life.
