Journal Title: Journal of Anthropology of Sport and Physical Education - Year 2019, Vol 3, Issue 1

Abstract

The aim of the study is to evaluate and determine the diff erences in the status of lower limbs of primary school pupils in primary school. On the sample of 68 respondents, 34 boys and 34 girls, who attended the fi rst grade of the primary school “Ivo Lola Ribar” from Novi Sad, an assessment of the postural status by the method of “Napoleon Wolansky” was carried out with an accent on “X” and “O” the shape of the leg and the holding of the vault of the soles. For the statistical data processing, the non - parametric Hi - square test method was used. The results showed that statistically signifi cant diff erences were not found, indicating a similar state of the observed segments of the postural status of this sample (p> 0.05). In the leg estimation variables, it can be concluded that there are no statistically signifi cant diff erences between boys and girls in the segments of the “X” leg (p=0.323), as well as the “O” leg (p=0.555). No statistically signifi cant diff erences were observed between the subjects of the diff erent sex (p=0.614) nor at the foot of the foot. A slightly higher representation of the good holding of this segment was observed in the sub-girlfriends. The results show that fl at feet were represented with 7.48% of the total sample. Based on the results it can be concluded that it is generally necessary to apply preventive exercises and activities in the teaching of physical education, but also to work towards the early diagnosis of these deformities.
