An Examination of the Physical Parameters and Respiratory Function of Child Gymnasts

Abstract

This study examines the physical parameters of child gymnasts. A total of 39 children, 24 females and 15 males, with a mean age of 5.75±1.08, participated in the study voluntarily. Their heights and weights were measured. A 10-meter sprint test to measure acceleration and speed, a flexibility test, and a hand reaction test was done. Respiratory function forced vital capacity (FVC), the first second forced expiration volume (FEV1), peak expiratory flow (PEF), skin calibration off body fat composition (BFC) tests were also conducted. SPSS 22.0 software was used for the statistical analysis. Descriptive statistics and frequency analysis were used to determine the distribution of the variables. The t-test was conducted in independent groups to determine the differences in physical parameters and respiratory functions by gender. The difference between the groups was significant for BFC, but not significant for other physical parameters, and there was no significant difference in respiratory function by gender.
