Abstract :
Introduction: The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of a three-month period of selected sports training on the structural body composition of children aged 7 to 13 years. Research methodology: The statistical population of this study consisted of overweight girls aged 7 to 13 years in Marvdasht city, 20 of whom were voluntarily selected as a statistical sample and performed the selected exercises under the supervision of trainers for 2 60-minute sessions per week for three months. Descriptive statistics of mean and standard deviation and inferential statistics of t-test were used to examine the research data. Findings: The results of this study showed that a three-month period of selected sports training has a significant effect on weight changes in children aged 7 to 13 (t = -9.05, p = 0.001). A three-month period of selected sports training has a significant effect on changes in body mass index (BMI) in children aged 7 to 13 (t = -9.33, p = 0.001). A three-month period of selected sports training has a significant effect on waist-to-hip ratio (WHR) in children aged 7 to 13 (t = -7.14, p = 0.001). A three-month period of selected sports training has a significant effect on fat percentage in children aged 7 to 13 (t = -9.15, p = 0.001). Conclusion: If the results of this study showed that a three-month period of selected sports training can reduce weight and body mass index and waist-to-hip ratio and fat percentage.
