Brief Summary

This study aimed to compare the effects of group exercises under physiotherapist control and basketball program on body composition and motor skills of obese children. 45 obese children aged 10 years were randomly included to the physiotherapy (n=15), basketball (n:15), and control group (n:15). The children were assessed before and after 12-week study duration. Body Mass Index (BMI), the percentage of body fat, and circumference values of the children were recorded. Bruininks-Oseretsky Test of Motor Proficiency-Brief Form (BOTMP-BF) was used to determine motor skills of children.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

• Bruininks-Oseretsky Test of Motor Proficiency-Brief Form (BOTMP-BF)

  The BOTMP-BF test was used to determine the motor skills of the children. It is a popularly used test to specify the level of motor skills of children. Touching nose with index fingers as eyes closed and pivoting thumbs and index fingers were scored for bilateral coordination. Walking forward heel-to-toe on a line for balance, push-up numbers for strength,and number of one-legged side hop in a given duration for speed-agility were scored. Filling in a star, drawing a line through a path, and copying shapes were scored to determine fine motor integration. Stringing blocks in a given time duration was scored for manual dexterity. Catching a Tossed-ball with one hand and dribbling a ball with alternative hands were scored for upper limb coordination. Scoring is explained in the booklet of BOTMP-BF. A total score of this test was acquired.
