This cross-sectional study aimed to determine whether normal, flat, or high-arched feet corresponded to better performance of certain motor tests in children.
One hundred eighty-seven children (mean ± SD age, 11.15 ± 1.24 years) were recruited and divided into three groups: 96 with normal feet, 54 with high-arched feet, and 37 with low-arched feet. Nine motor trials were selected to assess motor performance: standing long jump, standing triple jump from each foot, standing vertical jump, shuttle run 10 × 5 m, standing-start 20-m sprint, static balance, dynamic balance on a beam of an inverted gym bench, and agility circuit.
There were no significant differences in the trial results between groups, although in eight of the nine trials participants in the high-arched group tended to perform better. Boys performed better than girls in all of the trials except those of balance.
These results suggest that children with a certain foot type did not achieve better motor performance in the nine trials tested.
这项横断面研究旨在确定正常足、扁平足或高弓足是否与儿童某些运动测试的更好表现相对应。
招募了187名儿童（平均年龄±标准差，11.15±1.24岁），并将其分为三组：96名正常足儿童、54名高弓足儿童和37名扁平足儿童。选择了九项运动测试来评估运动表现：立定跳远、单脚立定三级跳远、立定垂直跳、10×5米往返跑、站立式20米短跑、静态平衡、在倒置健身长椅横梁上的动态平衡以及敏捷性测试。
尽管在九项测试中的八项测试中，高弓足组参与者的表现往往更好，但各组之间的测试结果没有显著差异。除平衡测试外，男孩在所有测试中的表现均优于女孩。
这些结果表明，在测试的九项运动中，具有特定足型的儿童并未取得更好的运动表现。
