Abstract

Larsen, MN, Nielsen, CM, Ørntoft, CØ, Randers, M, Manniche, V, Hansen, L, Hansen, PR, Bangsbo, J, and Krustrup, P. Physical fitness and body composition in 8–10-year-old Danish children are associated with sports club participation. J Strength Cond Res 31(12): 3425–3434, 2017—We investigated whether physical fitness and body composition in 8–10-year-old Danish children are associated with sports club participation. The study included 423 schoolchildren, comprising 209 girls and 214 boys, of whom 67 and 74%, respectively, were active in sports clubs. Yo-Yo intermittent recovery level 1 for children (YYIR1C), balance, jump and coordination tests, together with dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry, were used to determine exercise capacity and body composition. Children active in sports clubs had better (p, 0.05) YYIR1C (33%, 767 6 26 vs. 575 6 29 m), 20-m sprint (3%, 4.33 6 0.03 vs. 4.48 6 0.04 seconds), coordination (6%, 68 6 1 vs. 72 6 1 second), and balance test performances (9%, 19.3 6 0.5 vs. 21.2 6 0.7 falls$min2¹) and lower fat mass index (16%, 3.8 6 0.1 vs. 4.5 6 0.2 kg[fat]$m²²) than children not active in sports clubs. Ball game players had better (p, 0.05) YYIR1C (38%, 925 6 39 vs. 671 6 28 m), 20-m sprint (4%, 4.25 6 0.03 vs. 4.42 6 0.04 seconds), and coordination test performances (5%, 65 6 1 vs. 69 6 1 second), along with higher (p, 0.05) lean body mass (5%, 24.00 6 0.22 vs. 22.83 6 0.25 kg) and whole-body BMD (2%, 0.90 6, 0.01 vs. 0.88 6,0.01 g$cm²²) compared with children active in other sports. The study showed that 8‒10-year-old Danish children engaged in sports-club activity, especially ball game players, have better exercise capacity and superior body composition compared with children not active in sports clubs.
