Triple- and double-compound morphological age in evaluation of selected components of physical fitness in girls under the terms of health-related fitness (H-RF)
Journal Title: Antropomotoryka. Journal of Kinesiology and Exercise Sciences - Year 2010, Vol 20, Issue 52
Abstract
[b]Aim of the work.[/b] To determine the formula for calculating the age of morphological development; to make an evaluation of somatic determinants of development level under the terms of physical health (H-RF).[b]Material. [/b]The material of the research forms the population of 5229 girls from Małopolska aged 8–17 calendar years, divided into year groups. From these groups the classes of 8, 9, 12, 13, 16, 17 years of calendar age were chosen as the subjects. After that from each above-mentioned year group, 150 participants were drawn with regard to basic components of physical fitness under the terms of H-RF and morphological age. Then from each year group a team of 50 subjects was selected and ranked in order of the height (upper, middle, lower) and weight (heavy, medium and lighter) of participants.[b]Methods.[/b] In randomly selected groups and in extreme teams, formed in accordance with body height and weight development level, statistical characteristics of basic components of physical fitness (under the terms of H-RF) were calculated due to morphological age, determined on the basis of calendar age, height and weight. Omitting participants from the group of average body weight and height, in remaining teams (each of 50 subjects) the measures were taken in regard to establish standardized mean differences in values of examined physical fitness components and morphological age. Strength of relationship between them was determined using simple and partial correlation coefficients. The significance of intergroup differences and correlation coefficients were examined with the Student’s to-test.[b]Results. [/b]In the majority of relations very poor somatic conditioning of physical activity (under the terms of H-RF) was observed. In groups of high and low body weight and height the structure of calendar age formula for determining the age of morphological development played insignificant role. The greatest influence on numerical value exerted the age of body weight.[b]Conclusions.[/b] In the progressive development of children and adolescents from Małopolska both: somatic and motor developments have run their own tracks. There is no reason for taking into account chronological age in the formula for calculating morphological age, whereas anthropological methods should be taken into account when assessing the progress of children and adolescents’ development of height and body mass.
