Abstract des Autors
In the Ballabeina study, the authors investigated age- and BMI-group-related differences in aerobic fitness (20 m shuttle run), agility (obstacle course), dynamic (balance beam) and static balance (balance platform), and physical activity (PA, accelerometers) in 613 children (M age=5.1 years, SD= .6). Normal weight (NW) children performed better than overweight (OW) children in aerobic fitness, agility, and dynamic balance (all p<.001), while OW children had a better static balance (p<.001). BMI-group-related differences in aerobic fitness and agility were larger in older children (p for interaction with age=.01) in favor of the NW children. PA did not differ between NW and OW (p>.1), but did differ between NW and obese children (p<.05). BMI-group-related differences in physical fitness can already be present in preschool-age children.
