Abstract
[b]Aim of the study[/b]. The aim of the work was to evaluate changes of the influence of family socio-economic factors on the level of the somatic development and motor fitness of rural boys from Lublin region in the years 1998–2007. [b]Material and methods[/b]. The research included 547 boys in 1998 and 484 boys in 2007 in selected categories of boys aged 10–11, 14–15, and 17–18 years. Physical development of the subjects was evaluated on the basis of body height and mass measurements, which were then used to calculate BMI. Motor fitness was defined with the use of Eurofit tests. Taking into consideration the level of education of parents and the number of children in families both in 1998 and in 2007, two groups were distinguished according to socio-economic stratification (SES), i.e., with a high and low SES status. The values of somatic parameters and the results of motor abilities tests were normalized for the arithmetic mean and standard deviation in particular age categories.[b]Results[/b]. In both 1998 and in 2007, higher normalized values of body height, mass, and BMI were noted in subjects belonging to the group with a high SES status. Only in 17–18-year-olds from 2007 were higher values of body height and mass observed in the group with a low SES status. As far as physical fitness was concerned in the categories of those aged 10–11 years and 17–18 years, higher normalized values of the majority of the analyzed motor tests occurred in boys from families with a low SES status, both in the research from 1998 and from 2007. However, in the age group of 14–15-year-olds, in the majority of the analyzed motor tests higher normalized values were observed in boys from the group with a high SES status.[b]Conclusion[/b]s. No substantial changes in the influence of socio-economic variables on the somatic development and motor fitness of rural boys from Lublin region in the years 1998–2007 were observed.
