“…Special physical education programmes have been developed for adolescents to solve this problem, considering the individual typological characteristics of this population group (Miroshnichenko et al, 2019). Body type should also be considered when selecting physical activity for different social groups (Chwałczynska et al, 2017). Notably, physical education of the population, in general, requires constant modernization (Drachuk et al, 2018), specifically based on new research.…”

Introduction The constitution of a person determines their physical condition and the level of metabolism in the body. For this reason, the characteristic of a person's somatotype (body type) is important for assessing their health and is used to determine the norm of physical development. The purpose of this study was to investigate and compare the features of circumference sizes in women of the Kyrgyz Republic with different body types and age groups. Methods A total of 1028 healthy women aged 16–55 years living in the city of Osh and its suburbs were examined. Physical development was assessed using the method of complex anthropometry and somatotyping. Results The mesosomal and megalosomal groups are more common in women of the third age category, while in the leptosomal group, the number of women of different age categories was approximately the same. In women aged 21–35 years old, the average value of the chest circumference index was 1.1 times greater than in girls aged 16–20 years old, the waist circumference was 1.1 times greater and the gluteal circumference was also more than 1.03 times greater. In women of the third age category, the above indicators increase by 1.09, 1.09 and 1.05 times, respectively, in comparison with girls from the first category. Conclusion The analysis of somatotypes and circumference sizes of Kyrgyz women of different ages suggests that there is a relative dependence of the measured parameters on the age and constitution of the body.

“…Body composition is an important component of the health-related physical fitness of children and adolescents ( 1 , 2 ) and, therefore, deserves prominence in the prescription and monitoring of dietary and physical exercise programs. In addition, it is fundamental for the identification and monitoring of nutritional deviations ( 3 – 5 ).…”

The bioelectrical impedance analysis (BIA) is one of the most commonly used techniques for assessing body composition in a clinical setting and in field approaches, as it has the advantages of easy application, fast, and non-invasive, in addition to its relatively low cost. However, the available predictive equations need to be valid for the evaluated subjects. The aim of this study was to verify the validity of several published BIA equations in estimating fat-free mass (FFM) among Brazilian adolescents, in addition to developing and cross-validating a BIA equation to estimate FFM appropriate for Brazilian adolescents. This is a cross-sectional study with 257 adolescents (128 girls) aged 10–19 years, randomly divided into two groups, namely, development (n = 172) and cross-validation (n = 85). The standard technique for assessing FFM was dual X-ray absorptiometry (DXA). The paired t-test, multiple regression, and the Bland-Altman plots were used to test the validity of the proposed models and to perform cross-validation of the model. The equation derived in this study was as follows: FFM = −17.189 + 0.498 (Height2/Resistance) + 0.226 Weight + 0.071 Reactance − 2.378 Sex + 0.097 Height + 0.222 Age; r2 = 0.92; standard error of the estimate = 2.49 kg; the new equation for FFM showed better agreement when compared with that of the equations developed in other countries. In conclusion, the newly developed equations provide a valid FFM estimation and are recommended for Brazilian adolescents with similar characteristics.

“…Conversely, weight demonstrates a complex pattern of correlations, suggesting multifaceted influences on various physical capabilities. This underlines the importance of considering not only absolute weight but also body composition and weight distribution, as they can impact specific facets of physical fitness differently (Chwałczyńska et al, 2017;Gambert, 2010). The negative correlations between BMI and several physical fitness tests underscore the potential detrimental effects of higher BMI levels on flexibility, jumping ability, and agility (Beckmann et al, 2019;Estrada et al, 2018;Vitali et al, 2019).…”

Introduction: Childhood serves as the foundational bedrock shaping future health and well-being, with the musculoskeletal system playing a pivotal role in overall physical development. This study investigated the intricate relationship between anthropometric indicators and musculoskeletal fitness among boys aged 9-12 years, illuminating the nuances of this crucial developmental phase. Methods: A cohort of 100 boys from Wheaton International Schools underwent comprehensive anthropometric measurements, encompassing height, weight, BMI, waist circumference, body fat percentage, and skinfold assessments. Their musculoskeletal fitness was evaluated through diverse physical fitness tests, including Sit and Reach, Push-Up, Standing Long Jump, and Shuttle Run. Descriptive statistics were utilized to present the mean values and standard deviations of the collected anthropometric indicators, providing insights into the physical attributes and body composition of the boys. Subsequently, correlation analysis was performed between these anthropometric indicators and the physical fitness tests to understand their relationships. Results: Age showcased inverse relationships with flexibility and agility, while height emerged as a predominant influencer across all physical tests. BMI exhibited multifaceted impacts on various aspects of physical capabilities, shedding light on its potential implications for musculoskeletal health. The discussion extrapolates upon these correlations, elucidating age-related changes during adolescence, the profound influence of height on overall physical performance, and the intricate associations between body composition metrics and specific physical abilities. These insights foster a deeper understanding of childhood health and pave the way for targeted interventions in youth fitness programs. Conclusion: This study's revelations underscore the significance of anthropometric markers in assessing musculoskeletal fitness among elementary school boys, offering valuable insights into the interplay between physical attributes and functional capabilities. These findings lay the groundwork for informed strategies aimed at nurturing optimal musculoskeletal health in the formative years, thereby shaping healthier futures for the upcoming generation.
