In the Ballabeina study, we investigated age- and BMI-group-related differences in aerobic fitness (20 m shuttle run), agility (obstacle course), dynamic (balance beam) and static balance (balance platform), and physical activity (PA, accelerometers) in 613 children (M age = 5.1 years, SD = 0.6). Normal weight (NW) children performed better than overweight (OW) children in aerobic fitness, agility, and dynamic balance (all p <.001), while OWchildren had a better static balance (p < .001). BMI-group-related differences in aerobic fitness and agility were larger in older children (p for interaction with age = .01) in favor of the NW children. PA did not differ between NW and OW (p > or = .1), but did differ between NW and obese children (p < .05). BMI-group-related differences in physical fitness can already be present in preschool-age children.
在 Ballabeina 研究中,我们调查了 613 名儿童(M 年龄=5.1 岁,SD=0.6)的有氧适能(20 米穿梭跑)、敏捷性(障碍赛)、动态平衡(平衡木)和静态平衡(平衡平台)以及身体活动(加速度计)与年龄和 BMI 分组相关的差异。正常体重(NW)儿童在有氧适能、敏捷性和动态平衡方面的表现优于超重(OW)儿童(所有 p<.001),而 OW 儿童的静态平衡更好(p<.001)。在年龄较大的儿童中(p 与年龄的交互作用=.01),NW 和 OW 儿童在有氧适能和敏捷性方面的 BMI 分组差异更大,对 NW 儿童有利。NW 和 OW 儿童之间的身体活动(p>.1)没有差异,但 NW 和肥胖儿童之间的身体活动(p<.05)有差异。在学龄前儿童中已经可以出现与 BMI 分组相关的身体素质差异。
