Description
Clemens Drenowatz and co-authors study fitness, diet, and weight in Austrian teens in this 2024 paper. Poor food choices and low fitness are spreading among adolescents. How the two forces combine on body weight needed a closer look.
The study tested 164 youths aged eleven to fourteen with a standard motor battery. Eight tasks covered endurance, strength, speed, flexibility, and balance. A food frequency survey captured their eating patterns alongside. Fitter teens ate fewer processed foods, yet oddly reported more sweets. Higher fitness and higher sweet intake each linked to lower body weight. No combined diet-fitness effect appeared. The authors suggest strong fitness may blunt some harm of poor eating.
