Child development Cardiac dynamics.

The purpose of this study was to determine the correlation between fat mass, cardiovascular fitness and physical self-description among male children aged 10-12 years old. One hundred and fifty six school children were involved. The participants were 16% underweight, 46% normal weight, 13% overweight and 24% obese. Fat mass (FM) was measured by taking triceps and subscapular skinfold thickness, cardiovascular fitness (CVF) was measured using six-minute walk test (6MWT) and physical self-description was measured using Physical Self Description Questionnaire (PSDQ). Average distance walked differ from each BMI group (underweight 643±77 m ; normal weight 616±81 m ; overweight 622±101 m and obese children 597±73 m). This study found that FM does not have any relationship with cardiovascular fitness. Overall physical self-description does not significantly related with fat mass but had significant relationship with cardiovascular fitness.
