Özet:

 


The aim of this study was to identify the Morpho-anthropometric
profile of Igbabonelimhin acrobatic dancers in Esan community, Edo State. Morpho-anthropometric indicators of age, weight,
height, body mass index (BMI), visceral fat and Body Fat Percentage were
determined. A Cross-Sectional study involving twenty four (24) acrobatic
dancers participated in the study which were drawn purposively. The data were
analysed using descriptive statistics of frequency counts and percentage for
all the variables and Pearson’s Correlation Coefficients (r) to assess the
link and the degree of relation between them. The Results showed a BMI
categorization of Normalcy indicating 75%, Underweight, Overweight and Obesity
indicating 8.3% each while the Visceral Fat level categorization for ages 1-9
showed 83.3% indicating 0(Normal), ages 10-14 and 15-30 indicating 8.3%
for  both + (High) and ++ (Very High)
respectively. Body Fat Percentage for ages 20- 39 indicated 100% 0(Normal),
ages 40-59 indicating 50% 0(Normal) and 16.6% for –(Low), + (High) and ++ (Very
High) respectively. Ages 60-79 indicated 66.7% 0(Normal) and 33.4% + (High). It
also showed a
significant correlation between the weight of acrobatic dancers on the height,
BMI, Body Fat Percentage, Visceral Fat and no correlation between the ages of
the acrobatic dancers on height, weight, BMI and percentage fat. Age and height
also showed a negative correlation. BMI of the acrobatic dancers showed a
positive significant correlation with Percentage Body Fat, Visceral Fat and
their weight. It was concluded that Igbabonelimhin acrobatic dancing is a good physical
exercise to develop and maintain good morpho-anthropometric profile. It is
therefore recommended that continuous maintenance of healthy lifestyle and body
composition among such acrobatic dancers should be ensured or encouraged.
