- Abstract
BACKGROUND: Among the sports modalities, each one has its particular requirements and require specific characteristics and skills, which delimit a child's motor behavior. OBJECTIVE: To identify and compare the profile of physical fitness related to motor performance and health in students from 6 to 13 years old who practice mini tennis. METHODS: Cross-sectional survey, carried out with 132 students (72 girls and 60 boys), who practice mini tennis. Body mass (kg), height (cm) and waist circumference (cm) were evaluated. Then, the motor tests of the Proesp battery (2016) were applied: body mass index (BMI), waist/height ratio (WHR), sit and reach test, 6-minute running/walking test, one-minute sit-up test, medicineball pitch, standing long jump test, square agility test and 20 meter dash run test. Afterwards, the data were treated using SPSS, version 26.0. Mann- Whitney U tests (median), Kolmogorov-Smirnov and Chi-square (2) were used. RESULTS: The results were not satisfactory for BMI, flexibility (male), agility and speed. However, in the tests of explosive strength of lower limbs and explosive strength of upper limbs, both sexes met the performance criteria. CONCLUSION: This study found differences between the sexes in the variables of flexibility and abdominal strength-resistance. After a year of practicing mini tennis, the physical fitness of the students evaluated is below expectations, since the BMI is high for age and the performance in the agility and speed tests (essential for mini tennis) was not positive.
