“…In an another study, the boys with an average age of 6.8 were found to have a BMI of 15.9 ± 1.7 and the girls with a mean age of 6.7 were found to have a BMI of 16.0 ± 1.6 (Dencker et al, 2011). The BMI measurements of 9-year-old children were calculated to be 17.8 for males and 17.6 for females (Ramirez-Velez et al, 2017). In the study conducted on the children with a mean age of 7.4, the BMI value was calculated to be 17 for females and 16 for males (Edwards et al, 2016).…”

“…Another study was conducted on 9-year-old children. In this study the average height of boys and girls were measured as 133.5 cm, 134.6 cm, respectively and the average weight of boys and girls together was measured as 32.1 kg (Ramirez-Velez et al, 2017). In another study on children with a mean age of 7.4, the average height of boys and girls were measured as 126 cm ±6 cm and 125 cm ±5, respectively and the average weight of boys and girls together was measured as 26 kg (Edwards et al, 2016).…”

This study was conducted to investigate the effects of a 24-week multifaceted sport training program on some physical and performance characteristics of 5-9 year old children. There are many researches about the necessities for children to start physical activity at an early age. According to the characteristics of different physical activities to be performed, children can endow with different developments. Multifaceted development in the motor properties of an unbranched individual will also benefit him/her in the branching phase. A branch that will be applied to children will develop the characteristics of that branch in the child. This study aims to determine the effects of the implementation of a training program consisting of the basic characteristics of different branches on the physical characteristics of children.A group of children with a mean age of 6.4 (SD 1.34) (n = 98) residing in Ankara participated in the study. A training program including basic techniques of many sports branches was applied to children in the form of 2 lesson hours per day for 2 days in each week. Lessons are scheduled for 45 minutes. During the 24-week training period, children were tested and measured three times; at the beginning, in the middle and at the end of the study. All physical characteristics of the children within the scope of the study has improved, and the differences in the test of vertical jump, throwing medicine ball, right foot balance posture, left hand grip force, shuttle, horizontal jump and 10x5m running were found to be statistically significant (p<0.05).

“…This IAT measurement was directly integrated with a computer so that the measurement results could be seen directly, and there was a data storage system that provides easiness for the researcher to do further data processing and data analysis. Meanwhile, the Standard Anthropometric Test (SAT) was a standard manual measurement that already exists, including the measurement of height and weight, measured using Seca™, the arm length and limb length using anthropometric tape with an accuracy of 0.1cm which refers to the international measurement standard [19] and the vertical jump was measured by Sargent jump test using a vertical board to determine the height of the jump [20,21].…”

This research aimed at determining the effectiveness of the use of computer-integrated anthropometrics and vertical jump as a measuring device. The participants were 42 students aged 18-21 years old. The research design used was counterbalanced-design. The instrument used was the Integrated Anthropometric Test (IAT) to measure body weight (BW), body height (BH), arm span (AS), limb length (LL), and vertical jump (VJ) in one set of device and compared with Standard Anthropometric Test (SAT) consist of anthropometric measurements including BW, BH, AS and LL that follow the standard procedure from the International Standards for Anthropometric Assessment (ISAK) and Sargent Jump test to measure vertical jumps. The results showed that the IAT and SAT measurements had a validity measurement value of BW measurements of 0.994, BH of 0.969, AS of 0.820, LL of 0.745, and VJ of 0.903 with P <0.01, and the total duration of the IAT measurement process was 36 minutes 18 seconds, SAT was 1 hour 7 minutes 27 seconds. It was concluded that the Integrated Anthropometric Test (IAT) had a very high validity value for the BW, BH, AS, and VJ measurements and a high category for LL measurements so that it can be used as an anthropometric and vertical jump measurement device. As IAT had a shorter measurement duration than SAT, it can be said that IAT had a good level of effectiveness.

“…The vertical jump is a test that allows calculating the explosive-elastic lower limb strength [31]. In particular, jump height performance can be used as a variable to estimate lower limb power (equal to the muscle force multiplied by the velocity) [31][32][33]. We measured the maximum jump height using the Sargent test, which allows us to estimate the explosive-elastic lower limb strength (ELLS).…”

Background: Congenital hypothyroidism (CH) is an endocrine disease with a precocious significant impairment of growth and neuromotor development. Thyroid hormones are essential for central nervous system development, maturation, and myelination. Furthermore, thyroid hormone deficiency affects the function of several systems, including the musculoskeletal system. The disease has a significant incidence in the general population (1:3000–1:2000 newborns in Italy). The aim of the present study was to evaluate any differences in upper and lower limb strength, body sway, and plantar loading distribution in children with CH compared to healthy children. Methods: In this study, the case group was composed of children with CH (CHG), while the control group included healthy children (CG). Both groups comprised 19 children (CHG: female = 12; CG: female = 9). The maximum isometric handgrip strength and explosive-elastic lower limb strength were assessed with the handgrip test and the Sargent test, respectively. The stabilometric and baropodometric analyses were used to measure the Center of Pressure displacements and the plantar loading distribution between feet, respectively. The differences between groups were analyzed by a univariate analysis of covariance using as covariates weight and height with the significant level set at < 0.05. Results: We found that CHG children were shorter and thinner than CG ones (p < 0.05). No significant difference in the upper and lower limb strength was found between groups. CHG exhibited a significant greater Sway Path Length (p < 0.01) and Ellipse Surface (p < 0.05) than CG. Moreover, CHG displayed an asymmetric plantar loading distribution with a significant lower percentage in the right than in the left foot (p < 0.05). Moreover, a significant lower plantar loading percentage in the right foot of CHG than in the right foot of CG was observed (p < 0.05). Conclusions: These findings seem to suggest that CH does not affect muscle strength in early treated children. However, these patients show poor postural control ability and asymmetric plantar loading distribution. Increasing the physical activity in these children could improve their body posture.
