20.500.12556/DiRROS-16339 Correlation of body composition with speed and agility of children aged 9-10 Korelacija med telesno zgradbo in hitrostjo oziroma gibčnostjo pri otrocih, starih od 9 do 10 let Purpose: Physical growth of children is measured by changes in body size and/or body composition, as well as by changes in motor skills. Motor skills can be affected by many factors, such as genetic predisposition, body composition, socio-economic conditions, and the like. Accordingly, the aim of the research is to determine the correlation between body composition with speed and agility of children aged 9 to 10 years. Methods: The sample included 40 participants (29 boys and 11 girls, 9.47 ± 0.5 years). Body height (BH), body weight (BW), body mass index (BMI) and body fat (BF), and basal metabolism (BMR) were determined to assess body composition. The BOT-2 subtest was used to assess speed and agility, which includes: Shuttle Run (1SAA), Stepping Sideways over a Balance Beam (2SAA), One-Legged Stationary Hop (3SAA), One-Legged Side Hop (4SAA), Two-Legged Side Hop (5SAA), and Total Speed and Agility (TSAA). Results: The results of correlation statistics indicated the existence of negative correlations between: height and 3SAA (r=-.353, p=.026); weight and 3SAA (r=-.422, p=. 007); weight and TSAA (r=-.359, p=.023); BMI and 3SAA (r=-.342, p=. 031); BMI and TSAA (r=-.333, p=.036); BMR and 3SAA (r=-.369, p=. 019); BMR and TSAA (r=-.363, p=.021). Conclusion: Based on the results obtained in this study, it can be concluded that there is a correlation between body composition and speed and agility. In addition to body composition, a correlation was found between body height and performance of one-legged stationary hop, as well as between basal metabolism, the one-legged stationary hop test and the overall results achieved in motor skill tests. children body fat basal metabolism motor abilities OMRON otroci telesna maščoba bazalni metabolizem motorične sposobnosti OMRON true false true Angleški jezik Slovenski jezik ZRS Koper Neznano 2023-03-02 14:31:09 2023-03-02 14:31:10 2023-03-03 03:38:22 0000-00-00 00:00:00 2020 0 0 str. 121-130 no. 2 Vol. 11 2020 0000-00-00 Zaloznikova Objavljeno NiDoloceno 0000-00-00 0000-00-00 2022-10-28 612.65:796.012.1 2232-2620 10.35469/ak.2020.257 97711363 http://ojs.zrs-kp.si/index.php/AK/article/view/257 1 1bbf3451-b8f6-11ed-b359-001a4af901a5 https://dirros.openscience.si/Dokument.php?lang=slv&id=21833 Znanstveno-raziskovalno središče Koper / Centro di Ricerche Scientifiche Capodistria 0 0 0
