- Abstract
A sample of 125 seven-year-olds was tested, using six morphological and eight motor-ability variables with purpose of analyzing the integration of explosive throwing strength. Sample was split in two groups: experimental (E; N=68) and control group (C; N=57). Boys of E group attended three hours of Physical Education class per week as well as three additional sixty-minute periods of athletic training over a period of nine months. C group only attended regularly-scheduled Physical Education classes. In concordance with the research goal, the relationships of morphological-motor variables with distance ball-throw result as a criterion were analyzed for both E and C groups. Data was processed using regression analysis. The results have clearly shown that values of the variable criterion grew and that predicting criteria using an applied group of variables gave improved results in the end as compared to the initial measurement. Growth and development, as well as secondary kinesiological engagement of children contributed to superior results. The resulting integration of ball throwing in E group was higher than that in C group, due to higher kinesiological engagement as well as application of the wide array of kinesiological operators used in athletic school.
