dc.description.abstract | Background: Excess body weight during childhood causes reduced motor functionality and problems in
postural control, a negative influence which has been reported in the literature. Nevertheless, no
information regarding the effect of body composition on the postural control of overweight and obese
children is available. The objective of this study was therefore to establish these relationships.
Methods: A cross-sectional design was used to establish relationships between body composition and
postural control variables obtained in bipedal eyes-open and eyes-closed conditions in twenty-two children.
Centre of pressure signals were analysed in the temporal and frequency domains. Pearson correlations were
applied to establish relationships between variables. Principal component analysis was applied to the body
composition variables to avoid potential multicollinearity in the regression models. These principal
components were used to perform a multiple linear regression analysis, from which regression models were
obtained to predict postural control.
Findings: Height and leg mass were the body composition variables that showed the highest correlation with
postural control. Multiple regression models were also obtained and several of these models showed a
higher correlation coefficient in predicting postural control than simple correlations. These models revealed
that leg and trunk mass were good predictors of postural control. More equations were found in the eyes open than eyes-closed condition.
Interpretation: Body weight and height are negatively correlated with postural control. However, leg and
trunk mass are better postural control predictors than arm or body mass. Finally, body composition variables
are more useful in predicting postural control when the eyes are open | es |
