AB  - This study aimed to investigate deprivation and sex differences in selected 
      health-relatedfitness measures in 9-12-year-old children. Data were captured on 
      3,407 children (49.3% boys; aged 10.5 +/- 0.6 years). Cardiorespiratory fitness(20 
      m multistage shuttle run test; 20 m MSRT), muscular strength (handgrip strength) 
      and body mass index (BMI) were measured. Welsh Index of Multiple Deprivation 
      (WIMD) scores were used to make quintile groups. A two-way Analysis of Variance 
      examined differences in BMI z-score by sex and WIMD quintiles. Two-wayAnalysis of 
      Covariances investigated the effect of sex and WIMD quintiles on grip strength 
      and shuttles achieved in 20 m MSRT, adjusting for BMI z-score and maturation, 
      repectively. Independent of sex, children in the middle quintile had a 
      significantly higher mean BMI z-score (p = 0.029) than their least deprived 
      counterparts. There was a significant increase in grip strength (p = 0.005) and20 
      m MSRT (boys p < 0.001; girls p = 0.028) between most and least deprived 
      quintiles. Significant differences in 20 m MSRT score were more apparent with 
      decreases in deprivation in boys.Overall, inequalities exist in health-related 
      fitness by sex and deprivation. These results can be used to inform focused 
      services to improve current and future health.
