Abstract
Physical fitness is widely known to be one of the critical elements of a healthy life. The sedentary attitude of school children is related to some health problems due to physical inactivity. The following article aims to classify the physical fitness in school children, using a database of 1813 children of both sexes, in a range that goes from six to twelve years. The physical tests were flexibility, horizontal jump, and agility that served to classify the physical fitness using neural networks and fuzzy logic. For this, the ANFIS (adaptive network fuzzy inference system) model was used, which was optimized using the Particle Swarm Optimization algorithm. The experimental tests carried out showed an RMSE error of 3.41, after performing 500 interactions of the PSO algorithm. This result is considered acceptable within the conditions of this investigation.
Highlights
The World Health Organization (WHO) has highlighted some important key facts about people's sedentary attitude and their relationship to some health problems due to physical inactivity
Physical fitness tests within the school education system are an important tool to measure the achievements of the learning standards associated with physical education Test is understood as the instrument or procedure that measures an observable response, in this case, that of physical fitness this can be measured through flexibility, jumping, agility tests, considering age, Body Mass Index (BMI), maximal oxygen consumption, Maximum Expiratory Flow (MEF), among others [3], that can be measured with the use of measuring instruments of the different types of physical fitness [4]
In a practical way, we considered the Physical fitness (PF) classification: low Physical Fitness (PF) (P
Summary
The World Health Organization (WHO) has highlighted some important key facts about people's sedentary attitude and their relationship to some health problems due to physical inactivity. Some of these show that a lack of physical activity is among the top 10 risk factors for death and is significantly related to other diseases [1]. Physical Fitness (PF) is a reliable indicator of health in childhood years as well as in adulthood [2]. In this perspective, the evaluation of physical fitness is important. Physical fitness tests within the school education system are an important tool to measure the achievements of the learning standards associated with physical education Test is understood as the instrument or procedure that measures an observable response, in this case, that of physical fitness this can be measured through flexibility, jumping, agility tests, considering age, Body Mass Index (BMI), maximal oxygen consumption, Maximum Expiratory Flow (MEF), among others [3], that can be measured with the use of measuring instruments of the different types of physical fitness [4]
