Abstract
To our best knowledge there is no study published describing anaerobic non lactic efficiency in 6 years old children. Therefore, the aim of the paper was the evaluation of MAW level and monitoring the tendencies in MAW level changes during 1995–2004. 9881 boys and 9541 girls (6 years old) from Gdańsk took part in the study. Motoric test – standing broad jump was used to evaluate MAW level according the model:MAW = length of jump (cm) × body mass (kg) × acceleration 9.81 (g).M, SD were calculated for all the variables (height, body mass, BMI, broad jump, MAW). Linear regression was used to test for trends in the MAW.Significant differences (p < 0.001) were found in average MAW results between boys and girls in 1995 and 2004. Throughout all monitored years, there results were changing in progressive direction.It was shown that sequential population of 6-year-olds, particularly boys, was achieving significantly better results in MAW level. Therefore, quite popular opinions about “continual degrading motor efficiency of the young generations” do not apply to 6-year-old children.
