The Relationship of Balance Among Biomotor Skills and Physical Activity in Boys

Abstract

The purpose of this study was to investigate the relationship among sensory systems, motor skills, and physical activity of male children.  44 male children (age= 9.59 ± 0.75 years) whose age is between 9-11 years old were involved at this study. Height and weight were measured as anthropometric measurements. Sensory systems were assessed by using the modified Clinical Test of Sensory Interaction and Balance (m-CTSIB) on BIODEX Biosway Portable Balance System through four test conditions (Eyes open – Firm Surface, Eyes Closed – Firm Surface, Eyes open – Dynamic Surface, Eyes Closed – Dynamic Surface). 30s test and 10s rest were used as test protocol for all test conditions. Plank test, 505 change of direction test, 20m sprint test, ankle dorsiflexion Range of Motion (ROM) test was used to assess motor skills. Physical activity was measured by using GT3X-BT Actigraph accelerometer. At the end of this observation, Moderate to Vigorous Physical Activities (MVPA) was determined. Pearson correlation coefficient (r) was used to determine the degree of correlation between the parameters when parametric assumptions were satisfied, otherwise Spearman rank correlation coefficient (rho) was used. Statistical analysis was performed with SPSS 23.0 statistic software package.  As findings, only visual sensory system correlates significantly with 505 change of direction test (rho=0,394; p<0,05).  As conclusion, except visual sensory system no significant correlations were observed with Physical activity and bio-motor abilities.

Erkek Çocuklarda Denge Düzeyi, Biyomotor Beceriler ve Fiziksel Aktivite İlişkisi

Abstract

Bu çalışmanın amacı, erkek çocuklarda denge düzeyini belirleyen sensör sistemlerin biyomotor beceriler ve fiziksel aktivite (FA) düzeyi ile ilişkisini araştırmaktır. Çalışmaya, Ankara ilinde eğitim gören, 44 erkek çocuk (Yaş=9.59 ± 0.76 yıl) katılmıştır. Araştırmaya katılan katılımcıların boy uzunluğu ve vücut ağırlığı ölçümlerinden oluşan antropometrik ölçümler gerçekleştirilmiştir. Katılımcıların sensör sistem seviyeleri; BIODEX Biosway portatif denge sistemi ile modifiye edilmiş sensör entegrasyon denge testinde (m-CTSIB); sabit zeminde gözler açık, sabit zeminde gözler kapalı, hareketli zeminde gözler açık ve hareketli zeminde gözler kapalı olacak şekilde dört farklı ölçüm yöntemi kullanılarak tespit edilmiştir. Her test 30sn uygulama 10 sn dinlenme sürelerinden oluşan test protokolü ile uygulanmıştır. Biyomotor beceri düzeylerinin belirlenmesi için kuvvet testi olarak plank testi, 505 yön değiştirme testi, 20m sprint koşu testi ve ayak bileği dorsifleksiyon eklem hareket ranjı testi uygulanmıştır. FA ölçümleri beş okul günü boyunca okul saatleri süresi içinde GT3X-BT Actigraph akselerometre aracılığı ile gerçekleştirilmiş ve Orta-Yüksek Şiddetli Fiziksel Aktivite (O-YŞFA) değerleri elde edilmiştir. Değişkenler arasındaki korelasyon düzeyleri, parametrik varsayımların yerine geldiği değişkenler için Pearson korelasyon katsayısı (r) ile; parametrik varsayımların yerine gelmediği değişkenler için Spearman sıra korelasyon katsayısı (rho) ile incelenmiştir.  Elde edilen veriler SPSS 23.0 istatistik paket programı ile değerlendirilmiştir. Çalışmanın bulgularında yalnızca 505 yön değiştirme testi ile görsel sensör sistemin primer olduğu denge skoru arasında istatistiksel olarak anlamlı bir ilişki düzeyi elde edilmiştir (rho=0,394; p<0,05). Sonuç olarak, görsel sensör sistem haricinde diğer sensör sistemler ile biyomotor beceriler ve FA düzeyi arasında istatistiksel olarak anlamlı bir ilişki düzeyi elde edilememiştir.
