20.500.12556/RUL-134356 Balance tests in pre-adolescent children retest reliability, construct validity, and relative ability Balance is an essential prerequisite for the normal physical development of a child. It consists of the ability to maintain the body’s centre of mass over its base of support, which is enabled by automatic postural adjustments, and maintain posture and stability in various conditions and activities. The present study aimed to determine the measurement characteristics (reliability and concurrent validity) and the relative ability of balance tests and different motor tests in healthy 11-year-olds. We also evaluated the impact of vision on balance ability. Our results showed high interrater reliability (from 0.810 to 0.910) and confirmed the construct validity of the included balance tests. Girls performed significantly better than boys in laboratory tandem stance in following balance components: total sway path with eyes open (BSEO) (t = 2.68, p = 0.01, effect size (ES) = 0.81), total body sway with eyes closed of centre of pressure (CoP) displacement in the a-p direction (BSEC) (t = 1.86, p = 0.07, ES = 0.57), mean velocity of CoP displacements (VEO) (t = 2.67, p = 0.01, ES = 0.83), mean amplitude of CoP displacements in the a-p direction (AapEO) (t = 3.38. p = 0.00, ES = 1.01) and in mean amplitude of CoP displacements in the m-l direction (AmlEO) (t = 3.68, p = 0.00, ES = 1.19). With eyes closed, girls performed significantly better (t = 2.28, p = 0.03, ES = 0.70) than boys did in the mean amplitude of COP displacements in the a-p direction (AapEO) and significantly better (t = 2.37, p = 0.03, ES = 0.71) in the mean amplitude of COP displacements in the m-l direction (AmlEC). Insignificant correlations between different balance tests, except for a correlation between the flamingo test and one-leg stance on a low beam (r = 0.558, p < 0.01), show that each test assesses different aspects of balance ability; therefore, balance cannot be assessed with a single test. sport pre-adolescent children balance physical fitness physical education testing reliability validity šport mladi otroci ravnotežje telesna dejavnost športna vzgoja testiranje zanesljivost verjetnost true false true Angleški jezik Slovenski jezik Članek v reviji 2022-01-10 14:56:38 2022-01-10 14:56:39 2022-09-13 03:54:42 0000-00-00 00:00:00 2020 0 0 13 str. iss. 15, art. 5474 Vol. 17 July 2020 0000-00-00 Zaloznikova Objavljeno NiDoloceno 0000-00-00 0000-00-00 0000-00-00 796.01-053.2 1660-4601 10.3390/ijerph17155474 25105155 RAZ_Sember_Vedrana_2020.pdf RAZ_Sember_Vedrana_2020.pdf 1 4401012D7984A488DAA97369F875C2A1 b9fc09aa84fdc4e69479f34dffe9b912599f4592815829ecc2ad3766a8987b06 3aa71816-721d-11ec-abdb-00155dcfd717 https://repozitorij.uni-lj.si/Dokument.php?lang=slv&id=152763 https://www.mdpi.com/1660-4601/17/15/5474 1 f4b3ddf8-721c-11ec-abdb-00155dcfd717 https://repozitorij.uni-lj.si/Dokument.php?lang=slv&id=152762 Fakulteta za šport 0 0 0
