EFEKTI RAZVOJNE GIMNASTIKE NA MOTORIČKE SPOSOBNOSTI DEVOJČICA PREDŠKOLSKOG UZRASTA

The aim of this research was to determine the effects of developmental gymnastics on motor fitness in preschool girls. This study was performed on a sample of 56 healthy preschool girls that were divided into two groups, a developmental training group and a control group. Motor fitness tests were used from several test batteries: the 20m dash, Obstacle course backwards, Standing broad jump, Arm plate tapping, Seated straddle stretch, Bent arm hang, Sit ups. The basic characteristics of developmental gymnastic training process consisted of station and circuit work and obstacle courses two times a week lasting for 60 min with intensity around 160-180bpm. After the training intervention, the training group showed significant (p < 0.05) improvements in almost all the parameters analyzed (e.g., Obstacle course backwards; Standing broad jump; Arm plate tapping; Bent arm hang and Sit ups) compared with pretest values, with percentages of change and ES ranging from 13.3% to 48.2% and 0.64 (moderate) to 1.20 (large), respectively. No significant changes were observed in the control group after the training intervention except for the standing broad jump and arm plate tapping (p < 0.05). This study provides evidence on the effectiveness of developmental gymnastics programs for the optimal development of young children’s motor fitness.Cilj ovog istraživanja bio je da se utvrde efekti razvojne gimnastike na motoričke sposobnosti kod devojčica predškolskog uzrasta. Ova studija je sprovedena na uzorku od 56 zdravih predškolskih djevojčica koje su podeljene u dve grupe, grupu za razvojnu razvojnu gimnastiku i kontrolna grupu. Za testiranje motoričkih sposobnosti korišćeni su testovi iz nekoliko baterija: 20m trčanje, poligon natraške, skok u dalj, taping rukom, sed raznožno, vis u zgibu i podizanje trupa. Osnovne karakteristike obuke razvojnog gimnastičkog procesa sastojale su se od rada na stanicama, kružnog rada i od prelaženja prepreka dva puta nedeljno u trajanju od 60 min sa intenzitetom oko 160-180 otkucaja u minuti. Posle programa, grupa za razvojnu gimnastiku je pokazala značajna (p <0.05) poboljšanja u skoro svim analiziranim parametrima u poređenju sa vrednostima pre programa, sa procentom promene i efektom veličine u rasponu od 13,3% do 48,2% i 0,64 (umereni) do 1,20 (veliki). U kontrolnoj grupi nije bilo značajnih promena nakon intervencije, osim skoka u dalj I tapinga rukom (p
