Background: Data missingness can bias interpretation and outcomes resulting from data use. We describe data missingness in the longest-standing US-based youth fitness surveillance system (2006/07-2019/20). Methods: This observational study uses the New York City FITNESSGRAM (NYCFG) database from 1,983,629 unique 4th-12th grade students (9,147,873…

Kurt, Songül; Ibis, Serkan; Aktug, Zait Burak; Altundag, Emre – JTRM in Kinesiology, 2023
The aim of this study was to examine the effect of core exercises on swimmers Functional Movement Screen (FMS) test scores and swimming performance. A total of 32 volunteer children aged 12-15 participated in this study. Participants were separated into 3 main groups: the control group (CG; N = 10) that did not perform any exercises, the swimming…

Lin, Kuo-Chin; Cheng, I-Ling; Huang, Yin-Cheng; Wei, Chun-Wang; Chang, Wei-Lun; Huang, Chenhsuan; Chen, Nian-Shing – IEEE Transactions on Learning Technologies, 2023
Swing movements and muscle strength are essential for mastering badminton techniques. Traditionally, students learn badminton through their instructor's physical demonstration, verbal instructions, and small group activities. To enhance students' learning experience and assist badminton instructors more effectively, this study proposes an…

Burns, Ryan Donald; Fu, You; Bai, Yang; Byun, Wonwoo – Journal of Motor Learning and Development, 2023
The purpose of this study was to determine the associations of device-based assessments of physical activity (PA) and health-related fitness (HRF) with gross motor skills (GMS) in preschool-aged children. Participants were 3- to 5-year-old children (N = 316; 49.6% female) who participated in the 2012 National Youth Fitness Survey. GMS was assessed…

Eustace, Steven James; Wdowski, Maximilian; Tallis, Jason; Duncan, Michael – Journal of Motor Learning and Development, 2023
This study assessed whether trunk flexor and extensor strength were predictors of time to stability (TTS) and center of pressure (CoP) during hop and hold tasks in children. Seventeen boys (age, 10.1 ± 1.6 years; height, 1.45 ± 0.11 m; mass, 26.7 ± 7.83 kg) undertook isokinetic strength assessments of concentric and eccentric trunk…

Kyle T. Ganson; Alexander Testa; Rachel F. Rodgers; Dylan B. Jackson; Jason M. Nagata – Journal of School Health, 2024
Background: This study aimed to investigate the association between violent sexual victimization and muscle-building exercise among adolescents. Methods: Cross-sectional data from the 2019 National Youth Risk Behavior Survey (N = 8408) were analyzed. Two indicators of non-dating-related sexual violence (lifetime, past 12 months), along with one…

Slotte, Sari; Kukkonen-Harjula, Katriina; Rinne, Marjo; Valtonen, Juha; Rintala, Pauli – Early Child Development and Care, 2022
Purpose: To examine the associations between muscular fitness (MF) and body composition. Method: MF was assessed with three tests of FitnessGram test battery. Total body fat percentage (BF%), abdominal fat percentage (AF%) and fat-free mass (FFM) were measured by dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA). The IOTF body mass index (BMI) cut-offs were…

Fukuoka, Tatsuyuki; Ono, Takahiro; Hori, Kazuhiro; Kariyasu, Makoto – Journal of Speech, Language, and Hearing Research, 2022
Purpose: The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of tongue-strengthening exercise (TSE) on tongue strength and effortful swallowing pressure in young healthy adults. Method: Thirteen young healthy volunteers (six men, seven women; M[subscript age] = 20.5 ± 0.5 years) performed 8 weeks of isometric TSE 3 days per week. A tongue…
