Morphological Advancement and Motor Skills Level of Boys Practicing Various Sport Disciplins
Journal Title: Antropomotoryka. Journal of Kinesiology and Exercise Sciences - Year 2008, Vol 17, Issue 41
Abstract
The aim of the work. To show the differences in body build and motor skills level of boys practicing Team Sport Games (volleyball and football) and winter sports (speed skating, ice hockey) as well as to specify the differences in studied values of motor parameters between examined boys and their peers from Cracow and peers participating in the country-wide test. Mutual relationship between studied parameters was also characterized.Material and methods. The research was carried out among 118 boys at the age of 11 coming from Sanok and its district. Tested boys were practicing various sport disciplines in clubs like: Sanoczanka Sanok, Górnik Sanok, Gimmball Tarnawa Dolna, Młodzieżowy Klub Hokejowy Sanok, Stal Sanok and Komunalni Sanok at least for one year. The research, to which Eurofit test was used (Physical Fitness European Test), was carried out in 2006 and 2007. During the research not only skin and fat folds thickness, body height and weight were measured but also physical fitness was tested. Statistic analysis, to which measured results were put, included variable singe-factor analysis, rectilinear correlation analysis and main components analysis.Results and conclusions. Speed skaters, hockey players, volleyball players and football players body height and weight remains standard, however skaters, hockey players, volleyball players and football players physical fitness varied. Speed skaters were the only group, which scored low level in general balance, whereas hockey and volleyball players flexibility was evaluated as high. In most physical fitness test boys, who took part in research, scored slightly higher than peers from Cracow and those participating in country-wide test.
