(2026) Valle Muñoz, Víctor Manuel; Ávila García, Manuel; Campos Garzón, Pablo; Pérez De Arrilucea Le Floc'h, Unai ; Estevan, Isaac; Villa González, Emilio
Motor competence (MC) has been proposed as an important correlate of physical and mental health during youth. However, evidence examining its associations with both health-related physical fitness and mental health in Spanish adolescents remains limited.

Pelvic breadth and juvenile locomotor energetics: Implications for the obstetrical dilemma hypothesis across human growth in past and present humans
(2026) Zorrilla Revilla, Guillermo; Prado Nóvoa, Olalla; Davy, Kevin P.; Carretero, José Miguel; García González, Rebeca
The obstetrical dilemma hypothesis (ODH) proposes an evolutionary trade-off between obstetric requirements and locomotor performance. However, whether external pelvic breadth measures influence walking energetics during human growth remains poorly understood. This study quantifies gross walking energy expenditure (WalkingEE) in juveniles and examines whether external pelvic breadth measures influence locomotor energetics during growth.
