Participants were 92 first graders (48 boys, 44 girls), 107 second graders (50 boys, 57 girls), and 109 third graders (51 boys, 58 girls). Among first graders, total fitness test score was significantly positively correlated with height in both girls and boys and significantly negatively correlated with subcutaneous fat thickness in boys. This indicates that fitness is influenced by such factors as morphology and subcutaneous fat thickness in the lower limbs in the early stage of childhood. Total score did not correlate significantly with morphology, lower limb muscle thickness, or subcutaneous fat thickness in second and third grade boys, indicating that fitness is affected by factors other than morphology, lower limb muscle thickness, and subcutaneous fat thickness in later grades. Unlike boys, total test score was significantly associated with either morphology, lower limb muscle thickness, or subcutaneous fat thickness in girls in all grades. This suggests that fitness is influenced by morphology, lower limb muscle thickness, and subcutaneous fat thickness in girls in early childhood.}, pages = {55--66}, title = {児童期前半における体力・運動能力と形態,下肢筋厚,皮下脂肪厚との関係}, volume = {10}, year = {2019}, yomi = {フナツ, キョウタロウ} }
