Abstract

Socioekonomski status (SES) dokazano utjeĉe na zdravlje, a postoji sve više dokaza o njegovom utjecaju na opću tjelesnu spremnost (tjelesni fitnes) kod djece i mladih. TakoĊer, brojni fiziološki i psihološki mehanizmi upućuju na moguću povezanost školskog uspjeha djece i njihovog tjelesnog fitnesa. Svrha ovog rada bila je utvrditi potencijalni utjecaj socioekonomskog statusa na opću tjelesnu spremnost djece mlaĊe školske dobi i relacije sa školskim uspjehom. U istraţivanju je sudjelovalo 108 djece u dobi od 8 do 10 godina. Za ispitivanje opće tjelesne spremnosti korišten je test President's Challenge battery koji ukljuĉuje pet ĉestica (zgibovi, podizanje trupa, pretklon, izmjenično trčanje i trčanje na 1600 m) te dinamometrija šake i antropometrijska mjerenja. Podatci o spolu, dobi, školskom uspjehu, struĉnoj spremi roditelja, radnom statusu roditelja, obiteljskim primanjima i tjelesnim aktivnostima ispitanika dobiveni su pomoću upitnika kojeg su ispunjavali ispitanici uz pomoć roditelja. Djeca iz skupine višeg i srednjeg SES-a te djeca s odliĉnim i vrlo dobrim školskim uspjehom postigla su bolje rezultate u većini komponenata tjelesnog fitnesa u odnosu na djecu iz skupine niskog SES-a i djecu s dobrim školskim uspjehom, meĊutim, te razlike nisu bile statistiĉki znaĉajne u većini sluĉajeva. S obzirom na SES, kod ispitanika se pokazala statistiĉki znaĉajna razlika samo u kompozitnoj vrijednosti motoričkih testova (F = 3.18, df = 2, p = 0.05), dok se s obzirom na školski uspjeh statistiĉki znaĉajna razlika pojavila jedino u motoriĉkom testu podizanje trupa (F = 3.01, df = 2, p = 0.05). Dakle, moglo bi se zakljuĉiti da SES i školski uspjeh ne diskriminiraju djecu mlaĊe školske dobi u općoj tjelesnoj spremnosti. Ipak, rezultati istraţivanja pokazuju statistiĉki znaĉajnu povezanost izmeĊu tjelesne aktivnosti i SES-a (rs = 0.25, p = 0.01) te je ta povezanost pozitivna. S druge strane, rezultati pokazuju da ne postoji statistiĉki znaĉajna povezanost izmeĊu tjelesne aktivnosti i školskog uspjeha.

Abstract (english)

Socioeconomic status (SES) has been shown to affect health and there is growing evidence of impact of physical fitness on health in children and youth. Also, a number of physiological and psychological mechanisms suggest a possible impact of children’s physical fitness on their school success. The purpose of this study was to determine potential influence of socioeconomic status (SES) on the fitness of young school-age children and the relatioship with school success. The study included 108 children aged 8-10 years. The President's Challenge battery was used for examination of physical fitness, which contained five items (pull-ups, curl-ups, V-sit reach, shuttle run and one-mile run), hand-grip strength and anthropometric measurements. Data about gender, age, academic school success, parents' educational level, parents' employment status, family income and physical activity of examinees were acquired by questionnaire filled out by the examinees with the help of parents. Children from the upper and middle SES group and children with excellent and very good grades better results in most components of physical fitness compared to children from the low SES group and children with good grades, however, in most cases these differences were not statistically significant. With regard to SES, the examinees showed a statistically significant difference only in the composite of the values of motor tests (F = 3.18, df = 2, p = 0.05), while with regard to school success, a statistically significant difference appeared only in the curl-ups motor test (F = 3.01, df = 2, p = 0.05). Therefore, it could be concluded that SES and school success do not differentiate the children in the fitness. Furthermore, the results of the research show a statistically significant correlation between physical activity and SES (rs = 0.25, p = 0.01) and this correlation is positive. On the other hand, the results show that there is no statistically significant association between physical activity and school success.
