Selected characteristics of the ability to move for children at the age of 3 and 5

The aim of the thesis was to detect some characteristics of body size. Values of indexes were calculated from the characteristics and they represent the results of spinal test mobility and indexes describing the status of arch of children foot at the age of 3 and 5. The obtained data were compared with those measured before and also compared among children of different sexes and ages. The results showed, in most cases, that the mobility to move of elder probands (at the age of 5) is absolutely and relatively (compared to the body height that was also taken to consideration) larger than of younger probands (at the age of 3). According to the Chippaux and Šmiřák method flat foot appeared more often by younger probands (age 3) than older ones (age 5). The collected anthropometric data can be used to form standards for the contemporary children population of the age 3 and 5
