COMPARISON OF SOME BODY CHARACTERISTICS AND MOTOR ABILITIES OF CHILDREN IN TERMS OF THEIR MOVEMENT EFFICIENCY

Namen zaključnega dela z naslovom Primerjava nekaterih telesnih značilnosti in motoričnih sposobnosti otrok z njihovo gibalno učinkovitostjo je primerjati nekatere telesne značilnosti in motorične sposobnosti otrok glede na njihovo gibalno učinkovitost. Zaključno delo je empirično. Uporabljena je deskriptivna in kavzalno-neeksperimentalna metoda. Cilji diplomskega dela so bili izmeriti nekatere telesne značilnosti in motorične sposobnosti otrok, ugotoviti njihovo gibalno učinkovitost in primerjati rezultate meritev telesnih značilnosti in rezultate motoričnih testov z gibalno učinkovitostjo. Naše prvo raziskovalno vprašanje je bilo: »Kakšna je povezanost med telesnimi značilnostmi, motoričnimi sposobnostmi in njihovo gibalno učinkovitostjo?« Ugotovili smo, da obstaja zmerna pozitivna povezanost med motoričnimi sposobnostmi in gibalno učinkovitostjo, da med gibalno učinkovitostjo in deležem telesne maščobe obstaja negativna povezanost, da telesne značilnosti ne vplivajo na gibalno učinkovitost v tako veliki meri kot je bilo pričakovano ter da imajo na gibalno učinkovitost motorične sposobnosti večji vpliv kot telesne značilnosti.The purpose of the thesis, titled Comparison of some body characteristics and motor abilities of children in terms of their movement efficiency, is to compare some of the children\u27s physical characteristics and motor abilities in terms of their movement efficiency. The thesis is empirical. The descriptive and causal un-experimental method was used. The aim of the diploma thesis was to measure some physical characteristics and motor abilities of the children, to determine their motor efficiency and to compare the measurement results of the physical characteristics and the results of the motor tests with the movement efficiency. Our first research question dealt with the connection between physical characteristics, motor abilities and the movement efficiency. We found there is a moderate positive link between motor abilities and movement efficiencythere is a negative link between movement efficiency and body fat percentagebody characteristics do not affect movement efficiency to the extent expected, and that motor abilities have a greater impact on movement efficiency than physical properties
