摘要：This study was carried out with the aim of studying the relations that hold between the anthropometric characteristics of the body and the isometric endurance of the lumbar and abdominal musculature, and was based on a sample numbering 406 subjects aged 7 to 10. One subsample of the subjects consisted of 199 boys whose average height was 136.67cm (±8.65) and average weight was 33.83kg (±8.45). The other subsample consisted of 207 girls whose average body height was 137.75cm (±9.20) and average body weight was 37.05kg (±7.60). The following parameters were used to evaluate the anthropometric characteristics: body height, leg length, arm length, upper arm length, height while seated, shoulder width, pelvic width, knee diameter, body weight, average thorax volume, abdominal volume, hip volume, upper leg volume and calf volume. In order to evaluate the isometric endurance of the lumbar and abdominal musculature, the following tests were used: the Biering-Sorensen test of the endurance of the lumbar extensors, the test of endurance of the lateral flexors of the torso and the test of endurance of the flexors of the torso. The obtained data was processed by means of a canonical correlation analysis. The results and the discussion led us to the conclusion that there are statistically significant relations between anthropometric characteristics and the isometric endurance of the lumbar and abdominal musculature of boys and girls aged 7 to 10.
