- Abstract
The aim of the present study was to associate, using a cross-sectional design, exercise-induced bronchospasm (EIB), anthropometric profile, quality of life and cardiorespiratory fitness of adolescents. In order to do so, 202 subjects, aged 13 to 18 years, participated in the study. They underwent anthropometric measurements, a test to induce EIB, a cardiorespiratory test, and answered a questionnaire regarding their perception of quality of life. Data analysis was performed using descriptive statistics, group comparison (Student's T-test) and Pearson's Correlation. The level of significance was p < 0.05. Participants who did not present EIB showed significantly higher waist circumference values (72.02 ± 7.89 vs. 68.71 ± 6.65; p = 0.002). In addition, significant negative correlations were found between the percentage of decrease of the forced expiratory volume in the first second (FEV1), BMI (r = -0.138), waist circumference (r = -0.225), VO2max (r = -0.144) and quality of life (r = -0.189).
