Childhood obesity is considered one of the major current public health problems, with negative implications for the development of gross motor coordination during childhood. In this scenario, the practice of physical activity may be one of the modifiable factors of behavior capable of reducing such implications. Objective: The objective of the present study was to (i) identify differences in the levels of gross motor coordination (CMG) of children as a function of weight, (ii) and analyze the influence of physical activity levels in this relationship. Methods: A cross-sectional study was carried out involving 408 children of both sexes, aged between five and 10 years, students of a municipal school in the city of Curitiba, Paraná. Two age groups were formed: G1: five to seven years; G2: eight to 10 years. Stature and body mass were evaluated, and body mass index was calculated. The children were classified according to their weight status, into three distinct groups: normal weight, overweight and obese. The CMG levels were evaluated using the KTK test battery, and the sum of the test points was used as an overall measure of CMG. AF levels were estimated using the Baecke questionnaire, applied with direct interview. The total score obtained by the AF was divided into tertiles and the children classified into two groups of AF levels: low AF level and moderate-to-high AF level. To analyze the data, an exploratory and descriptive analysis of the data was performed. Averages and respective standard deviations, as well as minimum and maximum values were presented. The differences between weight groups were analyzed using Analysis of Variance (ANOVA). Differences between the sexes and the categories of AF were tested with t-test for independent samples. All analyzes were performed in SPSS software version 23.0. The value of evidence was 5%. Results: There were no significant differences in CMG levels between genders. Only in G2, boys had higher levels of FF compared to girls (p <0.05). In G1, normoponderal children were more coordinated than obese children (p <0.05). In G2, obese children were less coordinated compared to overweight and normoponderal children (p <0.05). G2 children with moderate-to-high AF levels had higher levels of CMG compared to the less active ones (p <0.05). When analyzing the differences in CMG levels as a function of weight status and levels of PA, together, obese and less active children had much lower CMG levels than normoponderal and moderate-to-high AF levels (p <0.05). Conclusion: The results suggest that overweight and low levels of PA can contribute negatively to the development of CMG. Therefore, it is recommended the implementation of intervention programs that prioritize not only the increase of levels of physical activity, but also the weight loss of the children to the improvement of CMG levels. |
