Objective |
To assess the method and time to stand from supine and the time to run 10 m for normal young children.
Study design |
Three hundred twenty-one normal children aged 2.8-7.8 years were recruited from primary schools. After standardization, each test was carried out twice, timed, and videoed. The influence of age, sex, height, weight, body mass index (BMI), and method of standing were analyzed. Charts for time to stand and running time were produced and assessment of reproducibility performed.
Results |
For the time to stand from supine and the method used, there was a significant correlation with age. More than 50% of young children took >2 seconds. There was no significant association with BMI. Method of standing was associated with standing time in boys but not in girls. A Bland-Altman plot of standing times by 2 observers showed good reproducibility with no clinically significant difference. For the 10-m running test, there was a significant negative correlation with age, height, weight, and BMI.
Conclusion |
There is considerable variability in the method used and time taken to stand from supine in young children. These change with age, permitting the creation of charts showing age-related normal values.
