Abstract

Cilj ovog rada „Razlike u antropometrijskim karakteristikama između djece tenisača i djece koja se ne bave organiziranim sportom“ je utvrditi razlike u antropometrijskim karakteristikama i stanju uhranjenosti između 15 djece koja se ne bave organiziranim sportom iz dječjeg vrtića Šegrt Hlapić i 15 djece tenisača teniskog kluba Rally. Osim toga, cilj ovog rada je i provjeriti da li postoje značajne razlike između antropometrijskih karakteristika i stanja uhranjenosti između djece koja se ne bave organiziranim sportom i djece tenisača.
U svrhu istraživanja mjeri se tjelesna visina i tjelesna težina djece koja se ne bave organiziranim sportom i djece tenisača u dobi od 5 i 6 godina te se na temelju dobivenih mjerenja izračunava indeks tjelesne mase kako bi se utvrdilo stanje uhranjenosti djece. Stanje uhranjenosti djece određuje se pomoću određenih grafičkih prikaza te se na temelju toga uspoređuju rezultati između djece koja se ne bave organiziranim sportom i djece tenisača.
Rezultati ovog istraživanja pokazuju na značajne razlike u stanju uhranjenosti između djece koja se ne bave organiziranim sportom i djece tenisača. U rezultatima je vidljivo da je čak 40% djece koja se ne bave organiziranim sportom pokazalo rezultate prekomjerne tjelesne težine i pretilosti, dok su djeca tenisači pokazala minimalan rezultat prekomjerne tjelesne težine i pretilosti od samo otprilike 7%. Dobiveni rezultati dokazuju da bavljenje fizičkom aktivnošću pozitivno utječe na stanje uhranjenosti djece i na reduciranje svjetskog problema pretilosti djece predškolske dobi.
Da bi se pozitivno utjecalo i da bi se smanjile negativne posljedice na stanje uhranjenosti djece potrebno je od najranije dobi poticati djecu na bavljenje fizičkom aktivnošću, ali i redovito provoditi antropometrijska mjerenja djece, gdje ključnu ulogu imaju odgojno-obrazovne ustanove, kako bi se na vrijeme reagiralo na odstupanja u rezultatima.

Abstract (english)

The main goal of this thesis under the title “Differences in anthropometric characteristics between kids training tennis and the kids who are not engaged in organized sports” is to determine the differences in anthropometric characteristics and nutritional status between 15 kids who are not engaged in organized sports from Šegrt Hlapić kindergarten and 15 kids who are regularly training tennis from Tennis club Rally. In addition, the goal is also to determine whether there are significant differences between anthropometric characteristics and nutritional status between kids who are not engaged in organized sports and kids who are training tennis.
For research purposes, body height and body weight of children who are not engaged in organized sports and children who are playing tennis are being measured considering that the children are aged 5 and 6 years old. Based on the obtained measurements, the BMI is calculated to determine the nutritional status of the children. The nutritional status of children is determined by certain graphical representations and based on this the results are compared between children who do not engage in organized sports and children playing tennis.
The results of this study show significant differences in nutritional status between children who are not engaged in organized sports and kids who are training tennis. The results of this research show that as many as 40% of children who do not engage in organized sports showed results of obesity and overweight, while children who are playing tennis showed a minimal result of overweight and obesity of only about 7%. The obtained results demonstrate that engaging in physical activity has a positive effect on the nutritional status of children and on reducing the global problem of obesity in preschool children.
In order to have a positive impact and to reduce the negative consequences on the nutritional status of children, it is necessary to encourage children to engage in physical activity from an early age. It is also important to regularly implement anthropometric measurements of children, and avoid on time any deviations in results, where educational institutions play a main role.
