Résumé : |
Although normative data for physical fitness parameters are available at International and European level, contemporary normative scores from North-East Greece are sparse. Moreover, direct comparison of physicalfitness data to European norms is still absent. Objective. This investigation aimed to evaluate the cardiorespiratory and musculoskeletal fitness of Greek pre-adolescents from North-East Greece in comparison to current European reference norms. Method. 300 pre-adolescent (mean Tanner stage A: 1.67 ± 0.6; mean Tanner stage B: 1.65 ± 0.6) boys and girls (mean age: 9.4 ± 1.1 years) completed a testing battery of 20-m shuttle run test (20m SRT), handgrip strength, and standing broad jump. Scores for each testing parameter were compared against European age- and sex-specific centiles and then grouped into quintiles.
Results. For all testing parameters, 60-81% of participants were classified as having physical fitness performance scores of moderate or lower level. No differences were noted between boys and girls. Data corroborated that physical fitness levels of Greek pre-adolescent boys and girls are among the lowest recorded in the European region. Conclusion. This data suggest that physical fitness levels of pre-adolescents in North East Greece may be suboptimal, which strongly indicates the need for adopting large-scale fitness assessments in this particular region |
