The Relationship Between Motor Abilities, Anthropometry and physical activity in 12-15 year-old Chlldren

The aim (~f this study was to investigate the possible relationships he/ween anthropometrical parameters (skinfold. girths, lengths, and breadth / lengths), somatotype components, motor abilities and physical acittvity in /2-15 year old children. The subjects of this study were 277 pupils, aged 12-15 years, divided 11110 group", two years apart. Their body hfil!,ht, weight, EM1, 9 skinfold. 13 girth«. 8 lengths, and 8 breadth /lengths \tʹere measured. Somatotype components (endomorph, mesomorph, ectomorph) were estimated according to Corter and Heath (1990). The following Eurofit tests were used: 20m endurance shuttle - run, handgrip strength. standing broadjump, flexed arm hang, sit - up, 10 x 5 m shuttle - run, plate tapping, sit and reach and Flamingo balance.Physical activity \-HIS assessed using the qucsuonnuiro of Teiama et af (/996). The relationships between anthropometry and Eurofit tests results were moderate in some weight - bearing tests, the relationships were significant. The subjects physical did not depend on the anthropometrical parameters. Endurance shuttle - run tests results in all age and sex groups correlated significantly with physical activity.
