Resumen

The aim of this study was to investigate the impact of cesarean delivery (CD) and normal
delivery (ND) on growth, body composition and motor performance of children and young
people. The study included 114 children and young people (11 to 18 years old) who were
divided into two groups (ND and CD). Participants underwent a battery of anthropometric
measurements and motor tests. Children and young people born with CD showed greater
performance in the trunk elevation test in extension (flexibility), shorter distance covered (m)
in the treadmill test (aerobic resistance), greater amount of subcutaneous tissue and
endomorphy component than children and young people born from ND. It was observed that
children born with CD in this study had a greater amount of body fat, greater trunk flexibility
and shorter distance covered on a treadmill, suggesting important advantages for children
born with ND in relation to obesity and aerobic capacity. These components of physical
fitness related to health are determinant for the development of chronic degenerative diseases.
This study reveals that ND should also be encouraged as a health promotion strategy.
