Obese boys and girls present worse perfomance in specific motor tasks
Main Article Content
Abstract
The objective of this study was to compare the motor performance in the tasks of the Körperkoordination Test für Kinder (KTK) of children with different weight status. A total of 350 children aged eight to 10 years participated in the study. Body mass index (BMI), waist circumference (WC), waist-to-height ratio (KST) and KTK tasks were investigated. The chi-square test was used to verify associations and the Kruskal Wallis test was used to compare motor task scores between weight status. It was verified that overweight and obese boys had worse results in the task of balance in gait at the rear (p <0.001) and single-sheeled jumps (p <0.011), compared to boys with low weight and eutrophic. In addition, obese girls presented worse results in the task of balance in gait at the rear (p <0.001) compared to the girls with low weight, normal weight and overweight. It was concluded that overweight and obese children presented worse performances in KTK tasks compared to eutrophic and low weight children.
