Relationship between Waist to Height Ratio (WHtR) and Cardiovascular
endurance, Muscular endurance and Flexibility among Children
The relationship between excess body fat and physical fitness are important to explore
because emphasis is placed on monitoring these markers during interventions aimed at
improving child health. The purpose of the study was to know the relationship between
Waist to Height Ratio(WHtR) and physical fitness among children. This study was using
purposive sampling technique. All subjects were included in a total of 40 person of
children aged 10 to 12 years old recruited. SPSS version 20.0 was used. Pearson's
product moment correlation and were implemented in order to find the correlation
between WHtR and physical fitness of the subject. The results show there was a
significant negative correlation between Waist to Height Ratio and cardiovascular
endurance (-0.512) and for muscular endurance (-0.720). The results also show there
was a weak correlation between Waist to Height Ratio and flexibility (0.142).When
examining the relationship between body fatness measurements with physical fitness an
increase in waist to height ratio was associated with reduced cardiovascular and
muscular endurance in children. The WHtR is simple measure to use in children to
assess risk of excess adiposity and poor physical fitness. |
