The objective was to analyse the associations of physical fitne
ss and patterns of
physical activity with adiposity in native and foreign. This study was performed
with 612 school students (8 10 years). Anthropometric measurements, physical
fitness and activity patterns were studied. The results showed that students wh o
practiced more physical activity had lower body mass index and higher levels of
fitness. Immigrants had lower adiposity and higher participation in sport
activities than native students. No differences between native and foreing
students in levels were f ound, except for immigrant girls, who showed greater
lower body strengh than the natives ones. In conclusion, immigrants from this
study appear to have a healthier fitness, physical activity and adiposity than
natives.
