BACKGROUND
The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of environmental factors on physical fitness of rural and urban children.
METHODS
To reveal the differences between physical fitness of children living in urban and rural districts of the Turkish Cypriot population, 3939 nine- to eleven-year-old male primary school children from 90 schools of North Cyprus were tested. Testing procedures were similar to the Eurofit tests.
RESULTS
The results showed that body mass index and skinfold thicknesses were higher in the urban children (P<.05). Differences in cardiopulmonary and motor fitness were also found between groups. In addition, flexibility and muscle endurance were significantly higher in the rural children.
CONCLUSION
The significantly lower flexibility, muscle endurance, and strength of urban children might indicate a lower habitual physical activity level.
背景
本研究旨在调查环境因素对城乡儿童身体素质的影响。
方法
为揭示土族塞人城乡地区儿童身体素质的差异，对北塞浦路斯90所学校的3939名9至11岁的男性小学生进行了测试。测试程序与欧洲体适能测试相似。
结果
结果显示，城市儿童的体重指数和皮褶厚度更高（P<.05）。两组之间在心肺功能和运动能力方面也存在差异。此外，农村儿童的柔韧性和肌肉耐力明显更高。
结论
城市儿童柔韧性、肌肉耐力和力量明显较低，这可能表明其日常身体活动水平较低。
