High body mass index (BMI) in a long time relate to certain deformities of the feet, especially on flat foot. This study aims to determine the relationship of BMI with the incidence of flat foot in junior high school children 1 Sukawati Gianyar regency. The study was using analytic observational with crossosectional study design. The subject were 113 students of SMP Negeri 1 Sukawati. IMT measurements were performed by measuring height using staturemeter and weight measurement using weight scales. For measurement of flat foot using Wet Foot Print Test method. Based on 113 respondents found 27 people (23.9%) with flat foot conditions and 86 people (76.1%) with normal foot conditions. The result of analysis using Chi Square Test method shows there is a significant correlation (p = 0.009) between BMI and flat foot at SMP Negeri 1 Sukawati Gianyar.Keywords: Body mass index, flat foot, wet footprint test

Background: Balance deficits are usually related to medial-lateral instability. BMI could be an important factor to consider as; excess body mass or increased accumulation of adipose tissue can directly impact the postural stability which in return impacts balance. Purpose of the study: To find the correlation between BMI and Balance. Method: Sample consisted of 149 students, out of which 100 (67%) were males and 49 (33%) were females. BMI was calculated and was categorized into groups. Bilateral limb length was measured for normalising the data. Static balance was measured by performing blinded stork test and dynamic balance by performing Y- balance test. Data was analysed using Pearson’s correlation test. Result: There was significant correlation between BMI and static balance of left leg (r=0.713, 95% CI 0.623, 0.784, p=0.01) but on comparison, there was no significant correlation between BMI and static balance of right leg (r=0.0458, 95% CI -0.11, -0.205, p=0.58). It was found that there was no significant correlation between BMI and Left Anterior (r= -0.134, 95% CI -0.289, -0.0274, p= 0.103), Left Posterolateral (r=-0.0775, 95% CI -0.235, 0.0843, p=0.347), Left Posteromedial (r=-0.0903, 95% CI -0.248, -0.0715, p=0.273) respectively. Also, it was found that there was no significant correlation between BMI and Right Anterior (r=-0.236, 95% CI -0.382, -0.0778, p=0.00381), Right Posterolateral (r=-0.193, 95% CI -0.343,-0.0334, p=0.0183), Right Posteromedial (r=-0.126, 95% CI -0.281, -0.0354, p=0.125) respectively. Conclusion: There was significant correlation between BMI and static balance of left leg and no correlation was established between BMI and static balance on right leg and also no correlation was established between BMI and static and dynamic balance for right and left leg.

According to the World Health Organization in 2010, overweight and obesity are the fifth risk factors of the cause of death in the world. Obesity is influenced by the level of physical activity and it could cause a disturbance in dynamic balance and induce sleep disorder known as sleep apnea. Meanwhile, the lack of physical activity also affects the dynamic balance that can increase the risk of fall injury during the dynamic physical activity. The aim of this study was to investigate the relationship among body mass index, physical activity, the dynamic balance, and sleep patterns. The subjects of this study were 72 young adults aged 20 years in average, consisted of 47 males and 25 females. The body mass index was undertaken by dividing the body weight (kg) and height in meter square (m2). The level of physical activity was performed by using the International Physical Activity Questionnaire. Meanwhile, the dynamic balance was measured by using the modified Bass test; while sleep patterns was measured by using the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index. This study found that there was a significant association between BMI and dynamic balance with p value = 0.006 (p 0.05); whereas physical activity was not significantly associated to the dynamic balance (p0.05). Meanwhile, body mass index and physical activity were not significantly associated to sleep patterns (p 0.05). This study concludes that body mass index has a significant association to dynamic balance. Meanwhile, dynamic balance is highly needed in carrying out dynamic physical activity to avoid fall injury.

Purpose: The aim of this study was to investigate the changes in body composition-dynamic balance and functional movement capacity of 60 female high school students with body mass index (BMI) over 24.9 before and after the eight-week zumba exercise program. Material: The study included 60 volunteer healthy young women whose body mass index was higher than 24.9 (mean age: 16.75 ± 0.43 years, mean weight: 75.99±10.91 kg, mean body fat: 36.83 ± 6.1%, BMI: 29.56 ± 4.12). The portable stadiometer Seca-213 was used to determine the lengths of the study group. TANITA-Bc 545 N Innerscan Segmental Body Composition Analyzer, “Y-Balance Test was implemented to determine the dynamic balance values for the lower and upper extremities, Functional Movement Screen (FMS) test was used to determine functional movement capacity. To determine the number of heart beats during zumba exercises, Polar M430 Heart Rate Monitor was used and a total of 24 zumba exercise sessions were conducted from three days a week for eight weeks. Results: According to the findings of the study, during the 8-week zumba training program, it is seen that it provided statistically significant improvement in total body weight loss (p=.000), BMI parameter (p=.000), body fat % (p=.002), FMS values (p=.000) and lower an upper extremity dynamic balance parameters (p=.000). Conclusions: It was found that the eight-week zumba training program had positive effects body composition values, functional mobility assessment results and dynamic balance parameters of high school students with a high body mass index of 15-17 years of age.

This study investigated the effect of obstacles of different heights on task performance and compensatory movements of six individuals with a body mass index (BMI) ≥ 30kg/m2. Obstacle heights were increased from 36cm to 66cm in 5cm increments using a method of limits. Video-based task analysis was used to develop a conceptual model of obstacle clearance and compensatory movements in response to the postural challenge of increasing obstacle heights. Results from the task analysis were used to identify temporal and kinematic performance measures of dynamic balance and postural control. Changes in obstacle clearance performance and compensatory movements may indicate heightened fall risk and could be mitigated by accessible design and assistive support features in the environment.

Resumo. O objetivo do presente estudo foi analisar a relação entre o Índice de Massa Corporal (IMC) e o equilíbrio dinâmico em 98 escolares com idade entre 6 e 9 anos do município de Campinas, São Paulo. O equilíbrio dinâmico foi avaliado através da Trave de Equilíbrio (EQ) do teste Köperkoordination Test für Kinder (KTK). Para análise estatística, foi aplicado o teste de MannWhitney para verificar diferenças entre sexos, Kruskall-Wallis para diferenças entre as classificações do peso e equilíbrio, e Spearman para correlação entre IMC e equilíbrio, sendo adotado nível de significância de 5%. Os resultados demonstraram que as meninas apresentaram melhor equilíbrio do que os meninos, baixa correlação negativa entre IMC e equilíbrio na maioria das idades e melhores resultados de equilíbrio nas crianças com sobrepeso, seguido de crianças com peso normal e obesas, em ambos os sexos, apontando que indivíduos obesos se apresentam com maior deficiência no equilíbrio dinâmico.Resumen.

The objective of the present study was to analyze the relation between Body Mass Index (BMI) and dynamic balance in 98 schoolchildren with age between 6 and 9 years in Campinas, Sao Paulo. Dynamic balance was assessed by the Balance Beam (BB) of Köperkoordination Test für Kinder (KTK). For statistical analysis, The Mann Whitney test was applied to verify differences between sexes, Kruskal-Wallis for differences between weight classifications and balance, and Spearman for correlation between BMI and balance, with significance level of 5%. The results demonstrated that girls had better balance than boys, as well as low negative correlation between BMI and balance in most age groups. Also, overweight children obtained better results in balance compared to children with normal weight and obese children in both genders. In addition, obese individuals present worse dynamic balance.
