Abstract

The study aimed to determine/describe/outline the anthropometric, cardiorespiratory and biochemical profile of adolescent students of a federal institute in Rio Grande do Sul state, Brazil. Participants were 63 freshman students of an integrated high school, and body mass index, waist circumference, body fat percentage, maximum oxygen uptake, glucose, total cholesterol and triglycerides were assessed. There were significant differences between the sexes regarding the percentage of fat and maximal oxygen uptake. Also, there was a significant percentage of overweight, excess body fat and total cholesterol above the recommended levels for this age group. Thus, these results evidence the importance of developing prevention actions against weight gain, or to maintain healthy weight in this population, in order to promote health and quality of life for these students.
