Background: Childhood obesity is associated with musculoskeletal dysfunction and altered lower limb biomechanics during gait. Few previous studies have explored relationships between childhood obesity measured by body fat and lower limb joint waveform kinematics and kinetics.
Research Question: What is the association between body fat and hip, knee and ankle joint angles and moments during gait and in 7 to 11 year-old boys?
Methods: Fifty-five boys participated in the study.
