Variation in physical activity, fitness and motor competence according to weight status of 12-15 years youngsters from Cabo Verde
Abstract
Studies addressing physical activity (PA), physical fitness (PF) and motor competence (MC) relative to weight status are limited among African youth. The aim was to evaluate PA, PF and MC relative weight status among Cabo Verde youth. Height and weight were measured in 343 boys and girls 12-14 years; BMI was calculated. Youth were classified as thin, normal and overweight/obese (IOTF criteria). PF tests included grip strength, push-ups, curl-ups, sit-and-reach and one-mile-run/walk. KTK tests were the indicator of MC. PA was estimated with pedometers. ANCOVA was used to analyse PA, PF and MC by weight status. The prevalence of thinness (girls: 31.3%; boys: 35.7%) was higher than overweight/obesity (boys: 8.4%; girls: 9.6%). PA and MC did not vary consistently with weight status. Cardiorespiratory fitness and grip strength per unit mass of thin girls was significantly better than normal weight and overweight/obese girls. Underweight boys performed significantly better in grip strength per unit mass than normal and overweight/obese boys. In conclusions, differences among youth by weight status were not apparent except for the one-mile run in girls and grip strength per unit body mass in both sexes. MC differed by weight status only among girls
