Intergenerational changes are still being recorded worldwide, although their magnitude and direction may vary in different countries. The aim of this study was to determine changes in the magnitude and direction of changes in the body morphology and motor abilities of physically active adults over 20 years.
Two hundred and fifty-two individuals aged 18-28 years volunteered to participate in the study. The changes were analyzed over a 20-year period (March 2001; P vs. March 2022; P). The measured parameters were body height, weight, and body fat. Further, hand grip strength with dynamometer measurement, a sit-up test, a sit and reach test, and a standing long jump were performed to examine motor abilities. The results of the conducted tests were compared between subjects from both periods.
Our study confirms changes in trends concerning body morphology and motor ability performance. Higher values of body mass index and body fat were observed in P women, whereas these differences were not significant in men. Additionally, in terms of physical performance, the P2 group noted worse results than their peers from the past.
Despite young adults claiming to have similar physical activity levels to those observed in the past, they demonstrate poorer physical performance and higher body fat levels. The observed changes can be considered negative.
尽管各国的幅度和方向可能不同，但代际变化仍在全球范围内记录。本研究旨在确定 20 多年来身体形态和运动能力活跃成年人的变化幅度和方向。
252 名 18-28 岁的志愿者自愿参加了这项研究。分析了 20 年期间（2001 年 3 月；P 与 2022 年 3 月；P）的变化。测量的参数包括身高、体重和体脂。此外，使用测力计测量握力、仰卧起坐测试、坐立前伸测试和立定跳远来检查运动能力。比较了两个时期的受试者的测试结果。
我们的研究证实了身体形态和运动能力表现趋势的变化。P 组女性的身体质量指数和体脂更高，而男性则没有显著差异。此外，在身体表现方面，P2 组的表现不如过去的同龄人。
尽管年轻人声称自己的身体活动水平与过去观察到的相似，但他们的身体表现更差，体脂水平更高。观察到的变化可以被认为是负面的。
