- Abstract
This research is conducted to study the comparison of Body Mass Index class against motor performance towards 7-year-old boys in Malaysia. This study will become guide to parents, government, dietitian and pediatrician to monitor the motor development process of 7-year-old kids. This study aims to compare the Body Mass Index (BMI) class against motor performance towards 7-year-old boys in Malaysia. 43646 of 7 years old boys in Malaysia were categorized into five groups based on BMI index value. Four motor performance tests (power, flexibility, coordination and speed) were evaluated in this study. The Multivariate Analysis of variance revealed that Body mass index (BMI) are significantly affected by all the variable of motor skill performance. The results of the analysis show that significantly, BMI is a factor in power [f (717.84), p<.05], flexibility [f (39.62), p <.05], coordination [f (19.50), p <. 05] and speed [f (291.70), p <.05]. in other words, all the BMI variables of the 7-year-old boy in this study influenced all the variables. The value of R2 below the table indicates that BMI contributes only.062 or 6.2% change in variable dependent power,.004 or 0.4% change in variability based on flexibility,.002 or 0.2% change in coordination and 0.26 or 2.6% change in speed. Thus, the current study concluded that to improve motor skill, enhancement in each motor skill attributes should be considered instead of correcting BMI alone.
