- Abstract
The research comprised three groups of examinees (69 boys) who were observed during a two-year period in which they were involved in organized physical activity. One group was engaged in team sports (soccer, handball, basketball, volleyball), the second group was engaged in judo, whereas the third one was not involved in any extra organized physical exercise besides their regular school PE classes. The paper establishes the dynamics of changes in the anthropological status in the three groups and observes whether the dynamics of changes increases in boys who are involved in organized forms of sports besides their regular PE classes - three times a week in the judo club or in team sports clubs (soccer, handball, basketball, volleyball). Changes in the anthropological status have been observed in more than 11 variables which were used to assess anthropometric characteristics, motor and functional skills. The analysis of the two-year period of training leads to a high-probability conclusion that training judo affected the development of the analysed abilities and characteristics in a more significant and positive way than team sports or no involvement in extracurricular sports activities. By observing regular PE classes during a two-year period, it has been confirmed that two 45-minute periods per week cannot significantly influence the long-term development of anthropological characteristics, and that early involvement of children in sports activities will result in a more positive development of functional and motor skills and various other positive effects.
