Djeca, za koju je prirodno što više se kretati, sve više slobodnog vremena provode neaktivno. Svrha ovog istraživanja bila je ispitati relacije opažene tjedne razine tjelesne aktivnosti s općom tjelesnom spremnosti djece mlađe školske dobi. U istraživanju je sudjelovalo 52 djece u dobi od 9 i 10 godina. Za ispitivanje fitnesa tj. opće tjelesne spremnosti korišten je test President’s Challenge battery koji sadržava pet čestica (zgibovi, podizanje trupa, pretklon, izmjenično trčanje i trčanje na 1600 m), antropometrijska mjerenja te kožne nabore natkoljenice, nadlaktice, leđa i trbuha. Test trčanje na 1600 m nije se izvodio zbog nepovoljnih klimatskih uvjeta za vrijeme mjerenja. Podatci o dobi, spolu te procjeni razine tjelesne aktivnosti ispitanika dobiveni su pomoću adaptirane verzije PAQ-C upitnika (The Physical Activity Questionnaire for Older Children) kojeg su ispunjavali ispitanici uz pomoć roditelja. Istraživanje je pokazalo da postoji slaba do umjerena povezanost opažene tjedne razine tjelesne aktivnosti s općom tjelesnom spremnosti djece mlađe školske dobi. Prema rezultatima istraživanja ispitanici s opaženom niskom razinom tjelesne aktivnosti ostvarili su bolje rezultate u testovima zgibovi, izmjenično trčanje i podizanje trupa, dok su u testu pretklon bolje rezultate ostvarili ispitanici s opaženom visokom razinom tjelesne aktivnosti. Međutim, razlike u navedenim testovima nisu bile statistički značajne. Ispitanicima iz skupine visoke razine tjelesne aktivnosti izmjerene su veće vrijednosti u antropometrijskim testovima: ITM, natkoljenica i nadlaktica, dok su veće vrijednosti antropometrijskih testova leđa i trbuha izmjerene kod ispitanika iz skupine niske razine tjelesne aktivnosti. Međutim, statistički značajna razlika pronađena je u jednom od ukupno četiri kožna nabora i to u naboru natkoljenice (t = -2.740; df (1.23); p = 0.008), pronađena je i granična statistička značajna razlika u varijabli ITM (t = - 1.974; df (0.91); p = 0.054). Također, rezultati pokazuju da u uzorku postoji visok broj pretilih ispitanika (17.31%) te ispitanika s prekomjernom tjelesnom težinom (11.54%). Pomoću PAQ-C upitnika utvrđeno je da 52% ispitanika pripada skupini niske razine tjelesne aktivnosti, a 48% ispitanika skupini visoke razne tjelesne aktivnosti.
Abstract (english) Insufficient physical activity has become a growing problem among the overall population, especially among children. Children, for whom it is natural to move as much as possible, spend more and more free time inactive. The purpose of this study was to examine the relationship of the observed weekly level of physical activity with the general physical fitness of younger school-age children. The study involved 52 children aged 9 and 10 years. To access motor fitness the President’s Challenge battery was used, which contains five items (pull-ups, curlups, V-sit reach, shuttle run and one-mile run). Anthropometric measurements were also taken accessing of thighs, triceps, subscapular and abdominal skinfold thickness. The one-mile run(1600 m) was not carried out due to unfavorable weather conditions. Data on the age, gender and level of physical activity of the respondents were obtained using an adapted version of the PAQ-C questionnaire (The Physical Activity Questionnaire for Older Children). Children completed questionnare with the help of the parents. Research has shown that there is a weak to moderate association of the observed weekly level of physical activity with the general physical fitness. According to the results the subjects belonging to the group with a normal body mass indeks achieved the best results on motor tests. However, the differences in these tests were not statistically significant. Subjects from the group of high level of physical activity were measured several measures in anthropometric tests: BMI, thigh and upper arm, while more measures of anthropometric tests of the back and abdomen were measured in subjects from the group of low level of physical activity. However, a statistically significant difference was found in one out of four skin folds, that is in the upper thigh (t = -2,740; df (1.23); p = 0.008), and a marginally statistically significant difference was found in the BMI (t = - 1,974).; df (0.91); p = 0.054). Also, the results show that the sample has a high number of obese (17.31%) and overweight subjects (11.54%). Using the PAQ-C questionnaire, it was determined that 52% of subjects belongs to low levels of physical activity group and 48% subjects belongs to high levels physical activity group.
