Resumo: | Changes in infants’ body dimensions occurring during development may impose specific motor demands at the onset of independent walking. That is, anthropometric features may influence infants’ gross motor performance. This study aimed at assessing the association between weight, height, and body mass index (BMI) with motor performance of typically developing infants, comparing two groups of infants with different BMI values in regard to motor performance. Weight, height, and BMI measures of 10 infants were obtained during the week of onset of independent walking. Motor performance of all infants was assessed by the Alberta Infant Motor Scale (AIMS) one week later. Results show significant correlations between BMI and motor performance (r= -0.850; p=0,002) and between weight and motor performance (r= -0.701; p= 0.024). The correlation between height and motor performance was not significant (r= -0.495; p=0.145). The two groups of infants separated by the median value of the BMI distribution showed significant differences in gross motor performance (t=3.795; p=0.005), the group with higher BMI showing lower AIMS scores. These results suggest that anthropometric features are associated with gross motor performance in infants at early stages of independent walking. |

Este estudo visou avaliar a associação entre as variáveis massa corporal, estatura eíndice de massa corporal (IMC) com o desempenho motor de crianças com desenvolvimento típico, comparando o desempenho motor entre dois grupos de crianças com diferentes IMC. As medidas de massa corporal, estatura e IMC de 10 crianças foram obtidas na semana de aquisição da marcha independente e a avaliação do desempenho motor foi realizada pela Alberta Infant Motor Scale (AIMS) uma semana após essa primeira avaliação. Os resultados revelaram associações significativas entre as variáveis IMC e desempenho motor (r= –0,850; p=0,002) e entre massa corporal e desempenho motor (r= –0,701; p=0,024), enquanto a associação entre estatura e desempenho motor não foi significativa (r= –0,495; p=0,145). Os dois grupos separados pelo índice mediano da distribuição do IMC apresentaram diferenças significativas (t=3,795; p=0,005) no desempenho motor grosso, sendo que as crianças commaiores valores de IMC apresentaram escores mais baixos no teste AIMS. Esses resultados indicam que as características antropométricas estão associadas com o desempenho motor grosso de crianças no período inicial de aquisição da marcha independente.Universidade de São Paulo.
