according to Health Canada, obesity in youth has more than tripled over the last 30 years. this report shows a decrease in VO2 max by about 14% in boys and 27% in girls. over a 35 year period, the secular trend for median VO2 max decreased by 7.6% in boys and 8.3% in girls. there was a alarming decrease in functional capacity in children and adolescents since the 1980's, highlighting the threat of an epidemic of cardiometabolic diseases.

After testing children from 6 -14 yeas old, Morrison et al. found in their results that in 2013 the children have reversed the performance decline from 2003. The improvement in performance indicates that Slovenia should continue introducing physical fitness strategies to keep increasing the cardiorespiratory fitness level of their children.

This study investigated the cardiorespiratory fitness (CRF) of Canadian youth aged 6-17, updating reference values for VO2max and documenting trends over a 35-year period. The findings revealed concerning declines in CRF, with median VO2max values dropping below recommended levels by age 17 for boys and 15 for girls. Functional capacity also decreased significantly, indicating reduced ability to sustain physical effort. Stratification by BMI showed even greater declines in CRF among overweight/obese individuals. Comparison with data from 1982 demonstrated substantial secular trends toward poorer CRF. These findings underscore the urgent need for interventions to promote physical activity among youth, as declining CRF levels pose significant public health risks

The aim of this article was to assess the secular trends in cardiorespiratory fitness and body fat percentage of Danish children of all socioeconomic status. Statistics showed between 1997-1998 that 281 girls and 258 boys of the 559 children assessed, met the criteria for exhaustion in CF and from 2003-2004 significant decreases in these statistics were displayed, with only 243 girls and 185 boys of the 423 children assessed displaying exhaustion of CF. In conclusion the study highlighted that girl's displayed greater decreases in secular trends in CF compared to boys.

This study compares data obtained using the same methodology 35 years ago. cardiorespiratory function and functional capacity of children and adolescents has declined to levels that should raise concerns. The development of strategies to promote a physically active lifestyle in youth is more crucial than ever.
