dc.description.abstractThis study aimed to investigate the effects ofsex and age on morphological characteristics in Kyrgyz children. Conducted in 55 primary schools across Bishkek and Chuy regions, the research included boys and girls aged 8 (n=1215), 9 1), and(n=121 10 (n=879). A total of 3315 children participated, comprising 1662 boys and 1653 girls, as part of a talent screeningprojectndrsed eby the Kyrgyz Ministry of Sports and the Ministry of Education. The study assessed various characteristics, including anthropometriceasurements, to analyze differences based on age and sex. Significant differences were observed in height and body weight across allupsageforgroboth sexes (p<0.05). For girls, BMI values showed significant variation across age groups (p<0.01). Body fat percentages alsoedrevealsignificant differences between ages 8 and 10 (p<0.05), though no significant differences were noted among other age groups. Whilerethere nowe notable differences in mesomorphy values between sexes, significant differences were found in endomorphy (p<0.01) and yectomorph (p<0.05) values. Specifically, girls aged 8, 9, and 10 had higher endomorphyvalues compared to boys (p<0.01). Ectomorphyandesomorphy m characteristics were similar across all age groups for both sexes. Although there were no significant differences in andendomorphymesomorphy values for girls, notable differences were observed between boys' endomorphy, ectomorphy, and mesomorphy values, andgirls'omorphyect values. This suggests a proportional increase in height, body weight, body fat percentage, and BMI with age in both boysrls.andThisgi study highlights that morphological characteristics, including height, body weight, body fat percentage, and body massevelopindex, d proportionally with age in Kyrgyz children, with significant differences observed in endomorphy and ectomorphy values betweenexes,s especially across different age groups.
