Adequate motor coordination ability is not only a key factor in children’s general development ( D’Hondt et al., 2013 ); it is also associated with health-related gains ( Chagas & Batista, 2017 ). Previous research has shown motor coordination skills to be negatively associated with body fat

is also related to emotional problems and reduces quality of life ( 60 ). Moreover, excess weight at this age and during adolescence tends to persist into adulthood ( 54 ). Given that excess body fat percent (BF) results from long-term energy imbalance, efforts to prevent obesity must promote
Agreement Between Standard Body Composition Methods to Estimate Percentage of Body Fat in Young Male Athletes

assessment of percentage of body fat (%BF), allows identifying body composition imbalances that can affect athletes’ performance and overall health and well-being during growth ( 1 ). Adolescents may develop compulsive weight loss behaviors to reach a perceived “ideal” body weight for competition ( 7

The assessment of percentage of body fat (%BF) is often performed in sport clubs to monitor body composition changes in the athletes during the season due to its relationship with physical fitness and performance ( Avlonitou et al., 1997 ). Anthropometry, bioelectrical impedance analysis, dual

In a recent study, we showed that prior exercise increased whole-body fat oxidation by approximately 75% in a second exercise bout ( Andersson Hall et al., 2016 ). The
