Comparative analysis of muscular fitness tests and their correlation with anthropometric data in children aged 9-12
Original language description
Physical fitness, encompassing cardiorespiratory endurance, muscular strength, and body composition, isvital for health and well-being. Muscular fitness, in particular, is associated with decreased risks ofdepression, cognitive disorders, and metabolic disease. Despite various available tests to measure musclestrength, there is no consensus on the most effective test or combination of tests, and direct comparisonsare scarce. This study evaluated the muscular fitness of 484 children aged 9-12 years (225 girls and 259boys) through multiple tests, including standing broad jump (SBJ), push-ups, bent-arm hang (BAH), sit-ups,handgrip strength, back-leg dynamometry (back-leg), and medicine ball throw (MBT), to assess theircorrelation with anthropometric data. Our correlation analysis revealed strong relationships (r > 0.6) betweenhandgrip and MBT, handgrip and back-leg, and MBT and back-leg. However, most correlations were weakor very weak, indicating that different aspects of muscle strength, as assessed by these tests, are largelyindependent and cannot be substituted for one another. This underscores the necessity of employing avariety of tests in the comprehensive assessment of muscular fitness, taking into account the uniquepredictive value of each.
