- Abstract
The authors in their article approach the issue of physical ability and physical performance of children in primary education on the basis of diagnosing their motor skills. Testing was performed using a comprehensive Eurofit test battery consisting of nine tests. The aim of the article is to evaluate and compare the motor skills of children of younger school age in the village and in the city. The monitoring took place at two primary schools, in the town and in the village. The sample consisted of 104 students. They were boys and girls of the fourth and second year at the 1st stage of primary school. Based on the use of nine motor tests, using statistical indicators of the Student's t-test, we demonstrated statistically higher performance of children from the city, compared to children from the village. At the same time, tests of motor skills showed us higher performance of children in the fourth grade compared to children in the second grade - as well as in testing boys and girls. We also measured higher physical performance in boys overall than in girls. The article also brings a comparison of motor skills of the examined group with files by other authors. The article also provides an evaluation of the Body Mass Index (BMI) of children in our group in primary education, as well as an evaluation and comparison of body height and body weight of the examined group, as well as a comparison with measured somatometric indicators of other authors.
