Abstract

Sportski vrtići su ustanove koje nude integrirani sportski program u svakodnevnom boravku djece. Takvi vrtići postoje diljem svijeta. Postavlja se pitanje postoje li razlike u razini razvijenosti motoričkih sposobnosti djece iste dobne skupine, a koja pohađaju takve vrtiće u različitim državama.
Cilj je ovog istraživanja utvrditi postoje li razlike u razini razvijenosti motoričkih sposobnosti kod djece predškolske dobi u Hrvatskoj i Danskoj. U tu svrhu postavlja se hipoteza (H1) da postoji statistički značajna razlika u razini razvijenosti motoričkih sposobnosti djece predškolske dobi u Hrvatskoj i Danskoj.
Istraživanje je provedeno na malom uzorku od ukupno 40 djece u dobi od šest godina. Dvadesetero djece (jedanaest dječaka i devet djevojčica) činila su djeca iz sportskog dječjeg vrtića u Kopenhagenu, a dvadesetero djece (dvanaest dječaka i osam djevojčica) činila su djeca iz sportskog vrtića u Zagrebu. Upotrijebljene su tri varijable za procjenu antropometrijskih karakteristika i baterija od sedam testova za procjenu motoričkih sposobnosti. Rezultati t – testa otkrivaju kako nema statistički značajne razlike između djece u većini testova, osim u visini i težini djece, a u korist djece iz Hrvatske. Također, statistički značajna razlika postoji u testu za procjenu repetitivne snage, odnosno u podizanju trupa u 30 sekundi (MST30) te u testu za procjenu brzine frekvencije ruku, tzv. taping rukom u 10 sekundi (MBTR), a u korist djece iz Danske. Budući rezultati istraživanja otkrivaju statistički značajne rezultate pojedinih varijabli, postavljena hipoteza (H1) djelomično se prihvaća. Rezultati ukazuju na slabije razvijenu trbušnu muskulaturu te muskulaturu ruku i ramenog pojasa djece u Hrvatskoj. Može se zaključiti kako u integriranom sportskom programu ove skupine djece nedostaje sadržaja u procesu vježbanja usmjerenog jačanju trbušne muskulature i muskulature ruku i ramenog pojasa. Međutim, uzorak je premali za izvođenje generalnog zaključka. Potrebno je provesti istraživanje na značajno većem uzorku.

Abstract (english)

Sports kindergartens are institutions that offer an integrated sports program in the daily stay of children. Such kindergartens exist all over the world. The question is whether there are differences in the level of motor skills of children of the same age group, who attend such kindergartens in different countries.
The aim of this study was to determine whether there are differences in the level of development of motor skills in preschool children in Croatia and Denmark. For this purpose, hypothesis (H1) is set that there is a statistically significant difference in the level of development of motor abilities of preschool children in Croatia and Denmark.
The study was conducted on a small sample of a total of 40 children aged six years. Twenty children (eleven boys and nine girls) were children from a sports kindergarten in Copenhagen, and twenty children (twelve boys and eight girls) were children from a sports kindergarten in Zagreb. Three variables were used to assess anthropometric characteristics and a battery of seven tests to assess motor abilities. The results of the t - test reveal that there is no statistically significant difference between children in most tests, except in the height and weight of children, in favor of children from Croatia. Also, there is a statistically significant difference in the test for estimating repetitive strength, that is in lifting the torso in 30 seconds (MST30) and in the test for estimating the speed of hand frequency, the so-called taping by hand in 10 seconds (MBTR), and in favor of children from Denmark. Since the research results reveal statistically significant results of individual variables, the set hypothesis (H1) is partially accepted. The results indicate less developed abdominal muscles and the muscles of the arms and shoulder girdle of children in Croatia. It can be concluded that the integrated sports program of this group of children lacks content in the exercise process aimed at strengthening the abdominal muscles and the muscles of the arms and shoulder girdle. However, the sample is too small to draw a general conclusion. It is necessary to conduct research on a significantly larger sample.
