GROWTH-RELATED CHANGES IN ANTHROPOMETRY AND PHYSICAL FITNESS IN GIRLS AGED 10-13 YEARS
Abstract
This study aimed at evaluating 10-13 year-old girls’ motor abilities and anthropometric parameters as well as their interrelationships as they grow up. Three hundred seventy-eight girls from Elementary schools underwent standard anthropometry (Body height, weight and Body mass index) and motor fitness tests (sprint run for 20 meters, bent knee push-up, sit-up test for 30 seconds, standing long jump and sit and reach). Data were stratified by age. Age specific percentile values (i.e., P5 to P95) were generated. Significant main effects of age were detected for body height, body weight and body mass indexes, also in running speed, abdominal strength and muscles endurance and explosive leg power. Physical fitness was considerably affected by anthropometric parameters. Body height seemed to be positively correlated with explosive leg power and abdominal strength and muscles endurance, and negatively with speed and with strength and endurance of the upper body muscle groups. Muscular fitness was on insufficient level. Likewise, body weight appeared positively correlated with explosive leg power and negatively with speed, strength and endurance of the upper body muscle groups and flexibility. As for Body mass index, it was proven negatively correlated with strength and endurance of the upper body muscle groups and flexibility.
