Figure 14 – Three children with different relationships between stature <strong>and</strong> total height <strong>of</strong> barrier J-3.<br />

4.3.2 Relationship between morphological<br />

variables <strong>and</strong> time to cross different barriers<br />

Some individual characteristics <strong>of</strong> the children,<br />

such as age, body dimensions <strong>and</strong> strength,<br />

influence their ability to climb. It would be<br />

expected that older, taller <strong>and</strong> stronger children<br />

took less time to cross most barriers than<br />

younger, shorter <strong>and</strong> weaker children. In order<br />

to verify this assumption, we analysed the<br />

correlations between those characteristics <strong>and</strong><br />

time to cross different barriers (see Table 18).<br />
