Summary
The relationship between physical fitness and risk markers for type 2 diabetes (T2D) in children and the contribution to ethnic differences in these risk markers have been little studied. Researchers examined associations between physical fitness and early risk markers for T2D and cardiovascular disease in 9- to 10-year-old UK children.
