Anthropometric characteristics of the plantar footprint in schoolchildren between six and twelve years old with endomorphic somatotype

Background: functional alterations of the foot affect walking and cause alterations in the axes which often lead to injuries and imbalances in the body. Body weight has been identified as an external factor influencing the appearance of these alterations. Objective: to describe anthropometric chara...

description Background: functional alterations of the foot affect walking and cause alterations in the axes which often lead to injuries and imbalances in the body. Body weight has been identified as an external factor influencing the appearance of these alterations. Objective: to describe anthropometric characteristics of the plantar footprint in schoolchildren with endomorphic somatotype from the semi-boarding school "Israel Santos", in Las Tunas, from January to October 2022. Methods: an observational, descriptive, cross-sectional study was conducted in 43 children with endomorphic somatotype, in the institution and period defined in the objective. The variables age, sex, weight, height, deformities of the plantar footprint, endomorphism, were collected in an anthropometric measurement sheet with the corresponding parameters. Descriptive statistics was used in data processing. Results: the male sex represented 53.49 % of the schoolchildren studied, and extremely high adiposity prevailed in both sexes (60.47 %), more accentuated in males (53.85 %). In the morphology of the foot, the normal footprint (46.51 %), discreetly higher in the female sex (55 %), analyzing separately right and left foot, in the latter there was predominance of the normal footprint (69.77 %). There was no statistically significant relationship between alterations of the plantar footprint and the endomorphic somatotype. Conclusions: anthropometric characteristics were described in schoolchildren between six and twelve years with endomorphic somatotype, without finding a statistically significant relationship with alterations in the plantar footprint.
