Abstract

Purpose: This study examines the associations of both BMI and waist circumference measurements to health related physical fitness. Methods: The sample included 43 boys and 49 girls (10.7 ± 0.89 years). Measures included height, weight, BMI and waist circumference, physical activity (PAQ-C) and measures of physical fitness; cardio respiratory and muscular fitness. Results: Girls were stronger on the handgrip test (P=0.045) and had a higher BMI than boys (P=0.041). Boys performed better than girls for the standing broad jump (P=0.006) and cardio respiratory fitness shuttle run (P=0.030) but not on the handgrip test. 29% (37% of girls and 21% of boys) of participants were either overweight or obese. Participants with a higher BMI performed significantly poorer than their healthy counterparts on the standing broad jump (P=0.003) and cardio respiratory fitness shuttle run (P=0.002). Similar results were found in the larger waist circumference group, standing broad jump (P=0.044) and cardio respiratory fitness shuttle run (P=0.032). Finally, participants with a higher BMI or waist circumference had a greater score for the hand grip test (P=0.006; P=0.004). Conclusion: Early detection of poor weight status and low physical fitness are important so that those in need of intervention can be targeted as early as possible.
苏格兰9至12岁儿童体重状况、身体活动与健康相关体质的关系
目的:本研究探讨BMI和腰围测量与健康相关体质的关系。方法:男43例,女49例,年龄10.7±0.89岁。测量包括身高、体重、BMI和腰围、身体活动(PAQ-C)和身体健康测量;心肺和肌肉健康。结果:女生握力较强(P=0.045), BMI高于男生(P=0.041)。男生在立定跳远(P=0.006)和心肺功能穿梭跑(P=0.030)上的表现优于女生,但在握力测试上表现不佳。29%的参与者(37%的女孩和21%的男孩)超重或肥胖。BMI较高的参与者在立定跳远(P=0.003)和心肺健康穿梭跑(P=0.002)上的表现明显差于健康的参与者。大腰围组、立定跳远组(P=0.044)和心肺适能穿梭跑组(P=0.032)的结果相似。最后,BMI或腰围越高的参与者在握力测试中得分越高(P=0.006;P = 0.004)。结论:早期发现体重状况不佳和体质不佳的患者,对需要干预的患者尽早进行针对性干预具有重要意义。
