Metabolome, body composition, and muscle performance in children
Ontology highlight
ABSTRACT: The purpose of this study is to determine potential relationships between plasma metabolome patterns and body composition in addition to muscle quality and muscular performance in children. Children ages 8 to 10 will complete body composition testing including BMI and skin fold measurements. An ultrasound machine will be used to determine cross-sectional area and echo intensity in the vastus lateralis and rectus femoris muscles as a measure of muscle quality. Isokinetic leg extension strength, power, and fatigability will be determined from a series of maximal knee extensions using an isokinetic dynamometer. An untargeted metabolomics test will be used on a single plasma sample from each subject in order to examine plasma metabolome
