Abstract
Physical activity is starting to be a priority in child development, more and more scientist in physical education and sport field try to highlight the importance of practicing sport fervently organized or independent. In our study, we concentrated our work in analyzing two school groups consisted of 25 children, with 9 to 10 years. The first group was the experimental group with which we tried to have more physical activity, they had two hours of physical education and sport, one optional hour of sport and 2 other hours of trainings in basketball so they practice one hour of sport every day, special sports camp and basketball competitions. The second group, the control group, had two physical education and sport lessons per week and we followed the specific program. As methods of research, we used the observation method, for analyzing social integration, and also the anthropometric exams that consisted in measuring, at initial test in 2014 and at the final test in 2015, the dimensions of children body and development. We used measurements of height, weight, different length of superior and inferior segments, bust, spread of arms, biacromial diameter, bitrohanterian diameter and chest perimeter. The results, at the final testing, showed us that the experimental group had a better development than the control group, with better indices at almost every indicator, so we can conclude that in our case the everyday sport activity helps in the child body development.
