Richard P. Troiano, +5 more
- 01 Jan 2008 -

Physical fitness in childhood and adolescence: a powerful marker of health

Francisco B. Ortega, +4 more
- 01 Jan 2008 - 
TL;DR: In this paper, a review of the latest developments with regard to physical fitness and several health outcomes in young people is presented, and the authors suggest that health promotion policies and physical activity programs should be designed to improve cardiorespiratory fitness, but also two other physical fitness components such us muscular fitness and speed/agility.
