Functional and dynamic asymmetry in boys aged 10–12 years (continuous research)
Journal Title: Antropomotoryka. Journal of Kinesiology and Exercise Sciences - Year 2012, Vol 22, Issue 57
Abstract
[b]Introduction[/b]. Significant changes in motor and psychophysical development are observed during school years. Lateralization is one of the developmental regularities. A lateralization evaluation is essential in cases of diagnostics in children with speech dysfunctions, motor clumsiness, and problems with reading and writing. [b]Aim of the study[/b]. The cognitive aim is to observe and compare the functional and dynamic lateralization in boys aged 10 to 12 years during research carried out on the same group of subjects. The practical aim of this paper is to expand the teachers’ knowledge on lateralization, which is important for normal development of human beings. [b]Material and methods[/b]. The research was carried out on a group of 30 boys and was carried out for 3 consecutive years. The first phase of the research was carried out when children were 10 years old (2006). The next tests were carried out in 2007 and 2008. The Wroclaw Asymmetry Test, by Koszczyc and Sekita, was used during the research. [b]Results[/b]. When we observed changes in functional and dynamic lateralization that occurred during the two years, we can state that there were changes in functions of tested motor and sense organs and the same changes in determined profiles. Changes in dynamic lateralization of motor capabilities were not observed. [b]Conclusions[/b]. Showing that the lateralization process in the investigated group of boys aged 10 to 12 years takes place enables us to observe it, to diagnose it, and to employ a therapy, if necessary, to avoid developmental abnormalities. Physical education teachers are very important, since they can stimulate this process through suitably selected exercises and games involving physical movement.
