The purpose of this study was to examine the relationships between physical activity and somatic growth with motor skill and physical fitness in prepubertal girls. The subjects were 215, 7-10-year-old girls. Somatic characteristics included 15 dimensions. Physical fitness was assessed by the EUROFIT

We studied the effects of recombinant human growth hormone (GH) treatment in 6 prepubertal children with achondroplasia. The patients' age ranged from 2'!'12 to 85/12 years and the GH dose was of 0.1 IU/kg/ day subcutaneously. Auxological assessments and bone age determinations were performed 6 mont
Visceral fat, or intra-abdominal adipose tissue (IAAT) lies deep within the abdominal cavity and can only be directly quantified with imaging techniques. IAAT has been detected in children as young as 5 years of age. IAAT generally increases in proportion with general fatness, but the relationship b
Little is known about the frequency-intensity patterns of naturally occurring physical activity in children. A data set obtained previously by direct observation of physical activity in 8 girls and 7 boys (all prepubertal, ages 6-10) was analyzed with spectral analysis to detect significant frequenc
Relationships among estimated body composition, habitual physical activity, and physical fitness were considered in Senegalese children 8.5-13.5 years of age. Anthropometric dimensions (arm and calf circumferences, trunk, and extremity skinfolds, body mass index), four motor performances (dash, stan
