- Abstract
Aim of the present study was to evaluate the effects of an in-patient rehabilitation program on motor performance and body composition. A second question was to look at the impact of body composition on motor performance. In this retrospective study 425 children (239 female, 56 %) and adolescents aged between 8 and 18 years (mean: 13,3±2,3 years) were analyzed. Bioelectrical impedance analysis was used to assess body composition measurement (BIA). Motor performance was determined by the modified Münchner-Fitnesstest (mMFT) and the 6-minute-walk test (6mwt). On the one hand there is a signifikant (p<.0001) loss of FM (-4,23±2.73kg) and FFM (-1.45±1.62kg) and on the other hand a signifikant improvement in mMFT and 6mwt (+44.28±59.70m). The changed body composition is, depend on sex, associated to the results in Ballprellen (r=-0.175; p<.05; girls), Zielwerfen (r=-0.250; p<.05; girls), stand and-reach-test (r=-0.191; p<.01; boys) and, independend of sex, in 6mwt (r=-0.251; p<.0001). The strength of the lower limbs seems to be unaffected (r=-0.046, p>.05). In process an inpatient obesity-intervention the body composition (towards the FFM) and the motor performance can be improved significantly. The loss of FFM seems to have no negative effect on the motor performance. The result of this study conveys a detailed view on physical excercises influenceing the reduction of FM and minimizing the loss of FFM.
