Abstract

Body mass index (BMI) is an important variable in child growth. However, there is a lack of evidence that has scientifically examined the effect of child growth to children's motoric development. This study aims to determine the correlation between children's growth by using BMI indicators with motoric development by using the kanga escape instrument and formula one from Kid's Athletics developed by the International Association of Athletic Federations (IAAF). The research sample in this study consisted of 23 young athletes aged 7–12 years old, with 13 male athletes and 10 female athletes. The research method used is correlational, using Pearson product-moment and Spearman correlation. The results of the correlation test showed that there were significant correlations between BMI and Kanga escape and formula one. The significance value of the correlation test results is 0.00 (sign < 0.05). Based on the results of these studies, it can be concluded that there is a positive correlation between BMI with kanga escape and formula one. The results of this study provide a new perspective regarding the positive relationship between growth on the development of children's motor skills.
