Abstract

U današnjem svijetu u kojem prevladava sedentaran način življenja tjelesna aktivnost je od iznimne važnosti za zdravlje i poboljšanje antropološkog statusa djece. Cilj ovog diplomskog rada je utvrditi postoji li razlika u motoričkim sposobnostima djece predškolske dobi s obzirom na uključenost u izvanvrtićke sportske programe. U radu se pobliže objašnjavaju motoričke sposobnosti, obilježja razvoja motorike i motoričkih sposobnosti te obilježja motoričkih gibanja djece predškolske dobi. Navedeni su primjeri motoričkih igara koje potiču razvoj motoričkih sposobnosti kod djece. Prikazana su dosadašnja istraživanja na temu motoričkih sposobnosti djece predškolske dobi te istraživanje provedeno u svrhu pisanja diplomskog rada. Istraživanje je provedeno u dječjem vrtiću „Srednjaci“ u Zagrebu na uzorku od 49- ero djece, od kojih je 25 sportaša i 24 nesportaša. Dob djece koja su sudjelovala u istraživanju je od 5 do 6 godina. Korištena je baterija od šest motoričkih testova. Rezultati istraživanja ukazali su na statistički značajnu razliku u tri testa. Djeca koja su uključena u izvanvrtićke sportske programe bila su bolja u testu stajanje na jednoj nozi, taping rukom i krug četveronoške. U ostalim testovima djeca sportaši također pokazuju bolje rezultate prema aritmetičkim sredinama, ali razlika nije statistički značajna zbog čega je početna hipoteza samo djelomično potvrđena. Kako bi hipoteza u potpunosti bila potvrđena potrebno je provesti istraživanje na većem uzorku djece.

Abstract (english)

In today's world where sedentary lifestyle prevails physical activity is extremely important for the health and improvement of anthropological status of children. The aim of this thesis is to determine if there is a difference in motor abilities of preschool children considering involvement in extracurricular sports programs. The paper explains in greater details about motor abilities, characteristics of motor development and developments of motor abilities and characteristics of motor movements of preschool children. It presents examples of motor games that contribute to development of motor abilities of children. Previous research on the motor abilities of preschool children and research conducted for the purpose of writing thesis are presented. The research was conducted in kindergarten „Srednjaci“ in Zagreb on a sample of 49 children, 25 of whom are athletes and 24 non-athletes. The age of the children who participated in the study is 5 to 6 years. For this purpose, the battery of six motor tests was used. The results of the research indicated a statistically significant difference in three tests. Children involved in extracurricular sports programs were better at standing on one leg, hand tapping and circle on all fours. In other tests, children athletes also performed better according to arithmetic means, but the difference is not statistically significant which is why the initial hypothesis is only partially confirmed. In order for the hypothesis to be fully validated, the research needs to be conducted on larger sample of children.
