RESUMO

OBJECTIVE: The aim of this study is to examine the relationship between varying levels of obesity and physical fitness test scores among Chinese adolescents, while also investigating gender differences in physical fitness and overall health. Data on height, weight, 50 m sprints, 1000/800 m runs, standing long jumps, sit and reach exercises, pull-ups/bent-leg sit-ups, and additional variables were collected from the DYH health database. Physical fitness indicators were evaluated based on the revised 2014 National Physical Fitness Standards for Students, and scores were assigned accordingly. An ordinal logistic regression (ologit) model was employed to analyze the relationship between body mass index (BMI) and physical fitness. RESULTS: (1) Normal-weight boys achieved significantly higher physical fitness test scores than boys in other weight categories. (2) Underweight and normal-weight girls obtained significantly higher physical fitness test scores compared to overweight and obese girls, with underweight girls scoring slightly higher than those with a normal weight. CONCLUSIONS: (1) There is a significant non-linear relationship between BMI levels and physical fitness test scores. (2) Gender differences were observed in physical fitness and overall health outcome. (3) The findings indicate an inverted U-shaped association between BMI and physical fitness among boys, while girls displayed an inverse relationship. This could be attributed to the cultural association between thinness and beauty among girls in China.

RESUMO

BACKGROUND: The bar-headed goose (Anser indicus) mainly inhabits the plateau wetlands of Asia. As a specialized high-altitude species, bar-headed geese can migrate between South and Central Asia and annually fly twice over the Himalayan mountains along the central Asian flyway. The physiological, biochemical and behavioral adaptations of bar-headed geese to high-altitude living and flying have raised much interest. However, to date, there is still no genome assembly information publicly available for bar-headed geese. METHODS: In this study, we present the first de novo whole genome sequencing and assembly of the bar-headed goose, along with gene prediction and annotation. RESULTS: 10X Genomics sequencing produced a total of 124 Gb sequencing data, which can cover the estimated genome size of bar-headed goose for 103 times (average coverage). The genome assembly comprised 10,528 scaffolds, with a total length of 1.143 Gb and a scaffold N50 of 10.09 Mb. Annotation of the bar-headed goose genome assembly identified a total of 102 Mb (8.9%) of repetitive sequences, 16,428 protein-coding genes, and 282 tRNAs. In total, we determined that there were 63 expanded and 20 contracted gene families in the bar-headed goose compared with the other 15 vertebrates. We also performed a positive selection analysis between the bar-headed goose and the closely related low-altitude goose, swan goose (Anser cygnoides), to uncover its genetic adaptations to the Qinghai-Tibetan Plateau. CONCLUSION: We reported the currently most complete genome sequence of the bar-headed goose. Our assembly will provide a valuable resource to enhance further studies of the gene functions of bar-headed goose. The data will also be valuable for facilitating studies of the evolution, population genetics and high-altitude adaptations of the bar-headed geese at the genomic level.
