  abstract = {{T}he effects of protein energy malnutrition ({PEM}) on the motor performance of 4.5-6.5-year-old {S}enegalese children were studied. {B}ody dimensions included weight, lengths, circumferences, and four skinfolds. {M}otor performance tests included a 3-min endurance run, 4 {X} 10 m shuttle-run, distance throw, standing long jump and grip strength. {T}he sample consisted of 147 children : 52 children who were hospitalized for severe undernutrition (severe {UN} group) during infancy but who had been nutritionally rehabilited ; 63 children who were never severely malnourished but who were chronically exposed to mild-to-moderate undernutrition up to the time of study (chronic {UN} group) ; and 32 well nourished children (well nourished group) from well-off households. {A}fter adjusting for sex and age, the well nourished group performed better than the severe {UN} and chronic {UN} groups. {P}rincipal components analysis resulted in two factors which explained 65% of the variance in anthropometry and motor performance. {O}ne was related to body size and the second to body composition. {T}he three nutritional groups differed significantly in principal component scores for the two factors ; chronic {UN} and severe {UN} children also differed for the second factor. {B}ody composition, especially low fat mass appeared to be an important feature for motor performance in chronically undernourished children.
