Abstract

Relationships between the body mass index and physical fitness were generally nonlinear (parabolic) in youth 10-17 years.

The Effect of Match-Style Education on Technical Capacity in Children's Soccer

“…Ergenlik döneminde "büyüme sıçramaları" olarak adlandırılan vücudun özellikle kol ve bacaklarda hızlı gelişmeler gözlenebileceği ve buna ek olarak, boy artışı ve büyüme oranlarının en üst düzeyde olması grupların kendi içlerinde antropometrik özellikleri pozitif yönde tetiklemiş olabilir. 30,31 Ayrıca saha büyüklüğü, oyuncu sayısı, çalışma süresi, içeriği ve biçimi gibi faktörler fizik-sel özellikleri önemli ölçüde değiştirebilmekte ve çok sayıda çalışma antropometrik değerlerin futbol performansında önemli faktörler olduğunu göstermektedir. 2,32 Bu durumlar, antropometrik özelliklerin kendi aralarındaki pozitif yönlü ve yüksek düzeyde ilişkili olmasını açıklayabilmektedir.…”

The Relationship between Daily Lifestyle and Anthropometric Parameters in Secondary School Student

“…In addition, these differences in weight status are frequently observed in adolescence (Morrison et al, 2018). Therefore, rapid developments in the body limbs (arms and legs) called "growth spurts" are observed during adolescence (Akçan et al, 1999) and in addition, the fact that the height increase and growth rates are at the highest level (Lopes et al, 2018) suggested that the weights between the groups may be different. The extra body weight in childhood and adolescence is associated with life-long negative health outcomes (Pavlovic et al, 2018) and adolescents with high weight and body fat, regardless of gender, are also known to have lower motor performance (Barbosa et al, 2018).…”

“…The BMI is an indicator of the state of weight ranging from extreme weakness to obesity, and also it is a concept that is easily understood by the public (Lopes et al, 2018). At the same time, it is assumed that boys with high BMI will have lower performance in physical fitness tests than children with weak and normal BMI (Lopes et al, 2018).…”

At the same time, it is assumed that boys with high BMI will have lower performance in physical fitness tests than children with weak and normal BMI (Lopes et al, 2018). Because nowadays, children are experiencing a sedentary lifestyle and risk of obesity more than ever because of increased television viewing time, lack of sports facilities, and many other reasons such as the widespread use of computer or video games (Arnaoutis et al, 2018).…”

“…In order to determine the health status of children and adolescents, the importance of using fat mass and fat percentage which are evaluated by bioelectrical impedance analysis instead of BMI are emphasized (Vantieghem et al, 2018). Therefore, anthropometric parameters (Pavlovic et al, 2018) such as body weight, lean body mass, fat mass and muscle mass are very closely related to health development in adolescence (Lopes et al, 2018). Because body composition parameters related to physical health should be well defined, and being physically active is one of the healthiest behaviors (Vantieghem et al, 2018).…”
