anthropometric measurements with the trunk (extensors and flexors) muscle endurance
for girls in government primary school children. One hundred fifty eight normal
girls with age ranged from 7-12 years participated in this study. They were
evaluated using selected anthropometric measurements [body weight (kg), body
height (m) and body mass index (kg m¯2)] and trunk muscle endurance
test. The results revealed that body weight and body mass index had negative
correlation with trunk (extensors and flexors) muscle endurance (r = -0.16,
-0.28, -0.3, -0.36, respectively). Regarding to body height; it had positive
correlation with trunk extensors muscle endurance (r = +0.07) and negative correlation
with trunk flexors muscle endurance (r = -0.08). It could be concluded that
girls had weak relationship of body weight and body height with trunk (extensors
and flexors) muscle endurance and moderate relationship of body mass index with
trunk (extensors and flexors) muscle endurance. These results may be attributed
to morphological variations and ages.]]>Anupama, M.P. and K.R. Dakshayani,201376771Bharati, P., S. Itagi and S.N. Megeri,200518177179Dejanovic, A., E. Harvey, J. Andersen and S.
