Résumé
Background
Adiposity is associated with physical and motor fitness in children, but the relative contribution of different body-composition and adiposity indicators to overall motor fitness remains unclear.
Objective
This study examined the associations of body mass index (BMI), body fat percentage (BF%), fat mass (FM), muscle mass (MM), and waist-to-height ratio (WHtR) with a composite motor fitness index (MOTOFIT) in younger school-age children.
