Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

It has long been believed that evaluating a child's development is essential to determining population health trends and creating effective interventions. Assessing school-age children's overall health and well-being in the 7-14 age range requires careful observation of their anthropometric metrics, physical fitness, and muscle strength. These assessments can provide insight into several physical health-related concerns during this crucial period of childhood development. Anthropometric parameters include height (in centimeters or centimeters), body mass index (BMI), skin fold measurements (which provide estimates of body fat), circumference measurements, and body weight (kg), which is typically measured in kilograms (kg).

A cross-sectional descriptive study design will be used. The goal of this research is to determine how anthropometric characteristics, physical

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

The participants' anthropometric parameters will be assessed both subjectively and objectively to calculate the data. Weight will be measured in kilograms using a weight machine, and height will be measured in inches using a measuring tape and converted into meters, respectively, to determine BMI. Using a measuring tape, the chest, abdomen, thigh, triceps, and supraillium are measured to determine the skin fold measurement, which determines the body fat percentage. Circumference measurements, such as those taken of the midthigh, biceps, waist, hips, and conicity index. The body mass index, conicity index, weight scale, and inch tape will be used for these measurements.

A common tool is the International Physical Activity Questionnaire (IPAQ). The seven-day IPAQ-SF is a self-administered, scientifically validated recall questionnaire for children ages 7 to 14. The quantity of time a child spends exercising during the
