Normative Values for Education and Measures of Physical Fitness Among Children and Adolescents Aged 7–14
In sports, physical and motoric tests are applied to large groups and norm values are formed according to age, sports and gender. These normative values provide objective data to coaches and sports scientists or existing athletes during ability selection. This allows the correct evaluation and comparison. The aim of this study is to carry out norm studies on some physical and motoric parameter values according to age and gender of children aged 7-14 years. For the sample in this study,7,223 children and adolescents aged 7-14 (5404 boys and 1819 girls). The following field tests were applied to assess motor performance: agility test (sec), Sprint 20 m test (sec), long jump test (cm), sit-erish test (cm), flamingo equilibrium test (n/60sec). The results of the data show us that ın all data, a age has an increase with the age. In all age groups in favor of girls in sit-erish and flamingo equilibrium tests; agility, 20 m sprint, stopping long jump tests in favor of boys (p <0.05). These reference values are especially important in health and education environments and can be added to the literature both national and worldwide about physical conformity values in children.
