Abstract
OBJECTIVE: The aim of the present study was to analyze the tracking of indicators of health-related physical fitness between childhood and adulthood. METHODS: The study presents a longitudinal design, with the first phase of data collection occurring annually between 2002 and 2006, and the second phase carried out in 2016. A total of 142 young adults, aged between 21 and 25 years, of both sexes participated in the study. Were evaluated body mass, stature, skinfold thickness, sit and reach test; abdominal resistance/strength test, and 20-m shuttle run test. RESULTS: The intraclass correlation coefficient (ICC) indicated that all health-related physical fitness variables presented values considered moderate to high tracking (0.37-0.67; P < 0.005) between the analyzed periods. It was verified that in all variables, tracking was higher in the female group, except for the result of the running test related to the cardiorespiratory fitness component which demonstrated greater tracking in the male group (ICC = 0.37 vs ICC = 0.50). The result of the running test for males was the only variable presenting a discrepancy in the values observed between baseline and follow-up (P < 0.05; k = 0.110). CONCLUSIONS: It was concluded that the indicators of body fat, abdominal and running tests demonstrated moderate tracking, while the sit and reach test presented high tracking.
