Correlation of Body Mass Index (BMI) and Triceps Skinfold Measurement (TSMF) with Post Exercise Heart Rate (HR) after 3 Minute Step Test in Children
Dr. Gira Thakrar, Dr. Nehal Shah
Abstract :
Increased post–exercise heart rate (HR) in children can be signal to detect negative behaviours or lifestyle. This cross–sectional study aimed to assess correlation of Body mass index (BMI) and triceps skinfold measurement (TSFM) with post–exercise HR after 3–minute step–test in children. Data of healthy children of both sexes and age group of 6–12 years was collected for: height, weight and TSMF and post– exercise HR after 3–min Kasch Pulse Recovery Test. Out of total of 103 children (61 boys, 42 girls), 21 (20.37%) were obese or overweight. There was very weak correlation between BMI & post Exercise HR (Correlation coefficient r = +0.067, p=0.50) and weak positive but significant correlation found between TSMF & post Exercise HR (r = +0.259, p=0.008). Thus, TSMF was found to be better correlated with physical fitness (as measured by post exercise HR) than BMI.
