The Difference

The aim of this study is to contribute expansion of knowledge about the level of the performance and health oriented fitness at represented students of Physiotherapy on Faculty of Health Studies Jan Evangelista Purkyně University in Ústí nad Labem. We compare resulting values with the values that were obtained by general population and students of Physical education and sports. Students participated these tests: progressive run for 20 meters, 2 kg heavy ball throw with both hands, standing long jump with both legs together, flexed – arm hang forward grip for woman, sit-up test 1 minute, deep bend in sitting position, Iowa Brace and calculated Body mass index (BMI). We asked two questions for our study. First, what is the level of motor skills students of Physiotherapy so academic students, what is the difference of level of motor skills between students of Physiotherapy compared with general population and second, what is the difference of the level of motor skills between students of Physiotherapy and students of Physical education and sports. Results showed that students of Physiotherapy had the same level of motor skills such as general population. Students of Physiotherapy had the same level in only two tests – deep bend in sitting position – flexibility and flexed-arm hang forward grip for woman with students of Physical education and sports.

The Impact

The main purpose of this study was to determine the impact of somatotypic profile and body mass index on the physical conditions of 12-14 year-old students, based on the results of tests for assessment to motor skills included in assessment system at the Physical education and sports in schools. The 64 young men and 70 girls we will explore are from two different schools in Blagoevgrad, which subsequently were divided into four groups: two groups for the boys and two for the girls. The study groups have antropometrichal parameters: height - 161.5 ± 8.2 cm, weight - 55.25 ± 18.26, and BMI of 21.01 ± 5.82 (M ± SD) for the boys and height 159.7 ± 7.22 cm, weight 52.02 ± 10.66 and BMI (kg / m2) 20.36 ± 3.85 (M ± SD) for the girls. The participants of this study completed 4 tests to determine the level of physical fitness, which are included in the System for Control and Assessment of the Achievements of the Students in Physical Education and Sports, used in the second stage of the primary education in Bulgaria until 2019 year. The functional tests were: for boys they are: 50m (sec) sprint running; 600 m (sec) for endurance; throwing a medicine ball 3 kg (cm) and standing long jump with both feet. For the girls: 50m (sec) sprint; 300m (sec) for endurance; sit ups (pc) and standing long jump with both feet (cm). The Score are from 1 to 5, depending on the value of the result. The somatotype was measured using the Heath-Carter method. The results show mean values for endomorph of 4.44 ± 1.47, for mesomorph of 4.94 ± 2.4, and for ectomorph of 3.12 ± 1.57 for the girls (mesomorph-endomorph) and values (M ± SD) of 3, 50 ± 1.58 for endomorphism, 5.74 ± 3.04 for mesomorphy and 3.28 ± 1.77 ectomorphy for the boys (balanced-mesomorph). We used GraphPad Prism version 3.0, for statistical analysis. The correlations between somatotype index, body mass index, and results of functional tests were calculated by coefficient of Pearson (p<0,05). We checked all possible relationships between ectomorphic, mesomorphic, and ectomorphic index with condition test results. Only 6 of them having significant correlation: between mesomorph and result of 50 m at Male7 r = 0.331, p = 0.048; between the ectomorph and the result of 50 m at Female7 r = -0.346, p = 0.045; between endomorph and 50 m result at Female7 r = 0.459, p = 0.006; between the endomorph and the result of a jump from the site at F7 r = -0.414, p = 0.0015; between mesomorphs and the result of a standing long jump of Female7 r = -0.519, p = 0.0016; between ectomorphs and a score of 50 m at Female1 r = -0.3359, p = 0.043 (Pearson). The most significant correlation was found between the BMI index and the 50 m result at Male7 r = 0.832, p <0.0001 (Pearson). We identified 11 of a total of 64 possible combinations; five of which between functional capability, BMI and six with somatotype index; five were low correlations (0.3–0.5) in the range r = 0.300– 0.340; only three high positive correlations were found in the range r = 0.693 - 0.832, p <0.0001 (Pearson); seven correlation dependencies were established with the result of the test for 50 m (sec); three with a jump test (cm) and one with 600 m (sec). In conclusion we can say that our hypothesis is not confirmed, because despite the normal weight, BMI and good somatotypic profile of the subjects , they have no statistically significant effect on the functional capabilities of students.

Background. The main purpose of this study was to explore the body-mass index and waist circumference associated with physical fitness by gender. Methods. In this cross-sectional study, we included 1036 adolescents (55.4% girls) from eight randomly selected secondary schools within the city of Zagreb (Croatia). Body-mass index and waist circumference were objectively measured. Physical fitness included three tests: (1) 1 min sit-ups, (2) standing long jump and (3) a sit-and-reach test. Associations were calculated using linear regression models. Results. Boys had higher body-mass index and waist circumference values, compared to girls (p < 0.001). They also performed better in 1 min sit-ups and the standing long jump tests (p < 0.001), while girls obtained higher values in the sit-and-reach test (p < 0.001). In boys, body-mass index and waist circumference were associated with 1 min sit-ups and the standing long jump. In girls, waist circumference was also associated with 1 min sit-ups and the standing long jump, while body-mass index was only associated with this standing long jump. Conclusions. Our study shows that anthropometric indices have non-linear associations with physical fitness tests in a large sample of Croatian adolescents. Screening for thinness and obesity to predict the level of physical fitness should be of a great interest.

Abstract BackgroundAlthough evidence suggests that cardiorespiratory fitness is the most important component associated with future health, little is known of how it is associated with multiple other physical fitness components. Since various physical fitness aspects do not change the same as cardiorespiratory fitness during childhood, it is necessary to establish possible associations between cardiorespiratory fitness and other physical fitness components in children. Therefore, the main purpose of the study was to test the associations between cardiorespiratory fitness with motor performance and body size in 7-14-year-old children.MethodsIn this cross-sectional study, we recruited 1612 children (52.5% girls). Health-related physical fitness components included: 1) body-mass index (kg/m2) calculated from height and weight (measure of body size), 2) sit-and-reach test (measure of flexibility), 3) standing long jump (measure of explosive strength), 4) sit-ups in 30 sec (measure of repetitive strength), 5) 10x5 shuttle run test (measure of agility) and 6) 20-m shuttle run test (measure of aerobic capacity). The associations were performed using generalized estimating equations with β coefficients.ResultsAfter adjusting for age, cardiorespiratory fitness was associated with sit-and-reach test (β=0.13, p<0.001), standing long jump (β=0.59, p<0.001), sit-ups in 30 sec (β=0.53, p<0.001) and 10x5 shuttle run test (β=-0.56, p<0.001) in boys. In girls, cardiorespiratory fitness was associated with body-mass index (β=-0.12, p<0.001), sit-and-reach test (β=0.21, p<0.001), standing long jump (β=0.25, p<0.001), sit-ups in 30 sec (β=0.36, p<0.001) and 10x5 shuttle run test (β=-0.40, p<0.001). No significant associations between cardiorespiratory fitness and body-mass index in boys were observed.ConclusionsAlthough significant, cardiorespiratory fitness is weakly to moderately associated with other physical fitness components, pointing out that such measure should be tested separately from other aspects of physical fitness in school-aged children.

The aim of this research is to compare the motoric features of badminton players of the national teams participated in International tournament under-15, and to determine whether there is a correlation between the development level of motoric features and the results. Totally 48 players participated in the study, from 6 countries (Turkey, Azerbaijan, Bulgaria, Macedonia, Serbia, Georgia) participating in the 5th International Rumi Child Sport Games, 24 of whom were females and 24 males. Stature, bodyweight, body mass index (BMI), flexibility, dominant and non-dominant hand grasping power, standing long jump, sit-up for 30 seconds, vertical jumping test, and anaerobic strength values of the participants were detected. It was determined that there were statistically significant differences (p<0.05) between the countries in terms of dominant hand grasping power, vertical jumping, and standing long jump values of the male players; and in terms of bodyweight, BMI, dominant and non-dominant hand grasping power values of the female players. As conclusion, it was found that the motoric features of the players ranked in the International Tournament under-15 were in better level, and it can be concluded for badminton sport that development of motoric features played an important role for success alongside with technique and tactic features.

Much of the evidence examining temporal trends in fitness among youth has found a decrease in measures of muscular strength and muscular power over recent decades. The aim of this study was to examine trends in lower body muscular power in Spanish boys over 47 years. In 1969 140 boys (10–11 years; body mass index = 19.24, SD = 2.91 kg/m2) and in 2016, 113 boys (10–11 years; body mass index = 19.20, SD = 3.15 kg/m2) were recruited. Lower body power was assessed using the vertical jump (VJ) and standing long jump (SLJ) tests. Significant differences and a large effect size were shown between groups in the SLJ (p = 0.001; d = 0.94) and the VJ (p = 0.001; d = 0.66). SLJ data in 1969 were higher (1.52 m, SD = 0.19) when compared to the 2016 data (1.34 m, SD = 0.18). The VJ performance of the 1969 sample was also higher (25.95 cm; SD = 6.58) than the 2016 sample (21.56 cm; SD = 4.72). SLJ and VJ performance of the 2016 group decreased 11.8% and 16.9%, respectively. There were no significant differences between groups in body mass index. The results indicate a secular decline in lower body muscular power in 10–11-year-old Spanish boys with no significant changes in body mass index over the 47-year study period.

Background The present study describes motor skills in a large sample of German children and adolescents and investigates associations with age, gender, body-mass index, physical activity, television time, and socioeconomic status. Methods 2,106 children (1076 boys, 1030 girls) aged 4 to 17 years performed five different motor tests for strength (pushups, standing long jump), coordination (backward balancing, jumping side-to-side) and flexibility (forward bend) within the framework of the LIFE Child study (Leipzig, Germany). Anthropometric parameters were assessed through standardized measurement. Data on physical activity, television time, and socioeconomic status were collected via questionnaires. Linear regression analyses were applied to assess relations. Results Strength and coordination performance were higher in older than in younger children. While boys showed a higher performance in strengths tests than girls, girls performed better in flexibility and coordination during precision tasks (backward balancing). In terms of coordination under time constraint (jumping side-to-side), both genders produced similar results. Lower body-mass index, higher physical activity, and higher socioeconomic status were significantly related to better motor skills. Longer television times were significantly associated with lower performance in long jump. Conclusions The present findings are similar to data collected at the beginning of the century, indicating that motor skills have hardly changed in recent years. The findings furthermore suggest that children from lower social strata, children with higher body weight, and children who move little have a higher risk of developing insufficient motor skills and should therefore be given special support.

Studies on the role of physical fitness, physical activity and obesity as risk factors for temporomandibular disorders (TMD) are scarce. The aim of the present study was to evaluate the association of TMD symptoms with physical fitness, physical activity and body mass index (BMI) among Finnish conscripts. The study sample consisted of 8685 Finnish conscripts. Data on self-reported TMD symptoms were used as outcome variables. Physical activity (questionnaire), physical fitness (measured with physical tests: Cooper test, push-ups, sit-ups and standing long jump) and body mass index (BMI) were used as explanatory variables. The associations between TMD symptoms and explanatory variables were evaluated using Chi-squared test and logistic regression analysis. The prevalence of all TMD symptoms was significantly higher among those who exercised more rarely than weekly. Pain-related TMD symptoms were also significantly more frequent among those who were overweight (BMI ≥ 25). Poor push-up results and overweight (BMI ≥ 25) were significantly associated with jaw pain and TMJ pain at jaw rest. The present study showed that good physical fitness may be a protective factor against TMD pain. Dentists should also be prepared to motivate TMD patients to physical activity and regular exercise as part of the treatment.

The Right

P.L. 94–142 provides the right to physical education for handicapped pupils including nonacademic and extracurricular activities such as athletics. Despite the legislative mandate for physical education and the value of athletic activity, few validated programs have been published to teach complex gross motor skills, such as sports, to mentally retarded students. Therefore, two experiments were conducted to evaluate procedures to teach athletic skills to moderately and severely mentally retarded students. Participants were taught the standing long jump (Experiment 1) and the 50-yard dash (Experiment 2), using task analysis and a training package of prompts and response consequences. Experimental control was evaluated by the multiple baseline across subjects design. Results showed acquisition and maintenance of the two athletic skills. The efficacy of behavioral techniques for teaching athletic skills to moderately and severely retarded persons is also discussed.

The purpose of this study was to determine the motor skills (MS) of the children doing licensed sports for 3 days a week for at least 2 years, and to reveal the difference of MS between the children who did and did not do sports. Totally 396 children (female=211, male=185) between 10-14 years old were participated in the study. Motor skills of the children who participated into the study were measured with Körperkoordinationstest für Kinder (KTK), and their body mass index (BMI) was calculated using the formula of [weight (kg)/height (m2)]. Independent t-test was used to determine the difference between physical properties, and motor skills of the children who did and did not do sports. According to obtained data, it was determined that KTK sub-dimensions and total KTK score (TotalKTK) was statistically and significantly higher in favor of children who did sports (p<0.05). Moreover, it was determined that in the classification of total TotalKTK scores was through the percentiles/percentages, the number of children who did sports was higher in high and good categories and was lower number in very low category. Consequently, it was specified/determined that guiding the children towards a sports branch or physical activity was significant factor in developing their motor skills.Extended English abstract is in the end of Full Text PDF (TURKISH) file. ÖzetYapılan çalışmanın amacı; bir spor branşında lisanlı olarak spor yapan çocukların motor becerilerinin (MB) belirlenmesi ve spor yapan çocuklar ile spor yapmayan çocuklar arasındaki MB farkının ortaya konmasıdır. Çalışmaya 10-14 yaş arasında gönüllü toplam 396 (kız=211, erkek=185) çocuk katılmıştır. Çalışmaya katılan çocukların MB’leri Körperkoordinationstest für Kinder (KTK) ile vücut kütle indeksleri (VKİ) ise [vücut ağırlığı (kg)/boy (m2)] formülü ile belirlenmiştir. Spor yapan çocuklar ile spor yapmayan çocukların fiziksel özellikleri ve MB’leri arasındaki farklılığın belirlenmesi için independent t testi kullanılmıştır. Elde edilen sonuçlara göre KTK alt boyutları ve toplam KTK skorunun (ToplamKTK) spor yapan çocuklar lehine istatiksel olarak anlamlı şekilde yüksek olduğu belirlenmiştir (p<0.05). Ayrıca ToplamKTK skorlarının yüzdelik dilimler aracılığı ile sınıflandırılmasında spor yapan çocukların yüksek ve iyi kategorilerinde daha fazla, çok düşük kategorisinde ise daha az sayıda olduğu tespit edilmiştir. Sonuç olarak; çocukların bir spor branşına ya da fiziksel aktiviteye yönlendirilmesinin çocukların MB’lerini geliştirmede önemli bir faktör olduğu belirlenmiştir.
