| dc.description.abstract | The purpose of the study was to determine whether Grade One boys, grouped according to the height of the longitudinal arch of the foot, significantly differed on the variables of: power; balance; flexibility; the height of the thoracic curve; the depth of lumbar curve; and foot alignment. Eighty-five subjects ranging from six years and seven months to seven years and four months were divided into three groups based on the height of the longitudinal arch. A one way analysis of variance was used to determine if significant differences existed between the groups, and a multivariate discriminate function analysis was implemented to determine the best predictor for the height of the arch. Results showed that only for flexibility was there a significant difference between the groups, and that flexibility provided a more effective predictor than any combination of variables in determining the height of the arch. | en_US |
