ABSTRACT:
Chronic inflammation is associated with several diseases, including cachexia, osteoporosis, diabetes, and cardiovascular conditions. Regular exercise is thought to possess anti-inflammatory properties, potentially through the regulation of toll-like receptor 4 (TLR4). This study aims to explore the relationship between TLR4, physical activity, age, and inflammatory biomarkers. Various methods, including behavioral observation, questionnaires, and physiological indicators like motion sensors and calorimetry, are used to measure physical activity. The study also examines the locomotor competence (speed and jumping abilities) of schoolchildren in rural and urban areas, using tools like the Baecke Questionnaire and the 50-yard dash test. Statistical analyses were performed using SPSS, with Pearson’s Product-Moment Correlation used to explore relationships between variables.
