Thirty children (1st group weight mean: 30.50 ± 7.04 kg; height mean: 128.65 ± 6.74 cm; BMI: 18.06 ± 2.80 83 kg/m2 and 2nd group weight mean: 28.78 ± 4.50 kg; height mean: 131.12 ± 2.80 cm; BMI: 17.11 ± 2.83 kg/m2) participated to this study. Strength training was applied for 6 weeks. The children were divided to two groups as elastic band group and body weight training group. Height and weight measurements, leg strength test, sit-up test and push-up test were used in the study. All the tests were applied five times. Paired t- test, one Way ANOVA and repeated ANOVA statistics tests were used to analyze the data. The study results show that there were significant differences in leg strength and repetition of push-up between trained with elastic bands group and body weight after training group (p<0.05). There was no significant difference between sit-up (p>0.05). The time-dependent significant differences were found in push-ups, leg strength and sit-up (p<0.05). © JPES.eninfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessChildren; Elastic band; Strength training; UntrainedArticle141424610.7752/jpes.2014.010072-s2.0-84897869267Q2
