- Abstract
The aim of this study was to evaluate the levels of physical fitness related to health and youth engine performance 11-14 years in a public school in Manaus / Am. The study included 100 young people aged 11-14 years, 31 female and 69 male. The instrument used was the test battery and PROESP-BR measures containing the physical fitness test related to health and performance: BMI (weight / height 2); cardiorespiratory fitness; abdominal strength; Flexibility; power of lower and upper limbs; agility and speed. To verify the normality of the data, we used the Kolmogorov-Smirnov test to detect differences in the variables of physical fitness among different ages used the analysis of variance (ANOVA) followed by post hoc Bonferroni. The Student t test for independent samples and Mann Whitney U test was used to compare means in relation to sex. There has been a tendency to improvement in all variables with increasing age for both sexes. The boys showed better results than girls in cardiorespiratory fitness variables (p = 0.00); explosive force of lower limbs (p = 0.004); upper limbs (p = 0.01); velocity (p = 0.00) and speed (p = 0.01). One can also observe that the muscular endurance, explosive strength of upper limbs and agility young people did not meet the PROESP Forums criteria. Some results are consistent with those found by other studies related to the physical fitness of children and young people in different regions of the country.
