Differences in Motoric Abilites Between Children Attending Sports Programs and Regular Kindergarten Programs

Cilj ovog diplomskog rada je utvrditi postoji li razlika u motoričkim sposobnostima djece polaznika integriranog sportskog i redovnog vrtićkog programa. Istraživanje je provedeno na 60 djece, od toga ih pola pohađa integrirani sportski program, a pola pohađa redovni vrtićki program. Mjereno je šest motoriĉkih sposobnost: ravnoteža, koordinacija, brzina, eksplozivna snaga, repetitivna snaga i fleksibilnost. T-test analizom pokazali su da postoji razlika u motoriĉkim sposobnostima između eksperimentalne i kontrolne skupine. Djeca koja pohađaju integrirani sportski program pokazala su statistiĉki znaĉajne rezultate u testovima fleksibilnosti, koordinacije i eksplozivne snage kod oba spola.The primary aim of this research paper is to determine if there is a difference in the motor abilities between children who participate in integrated sports programs, and those who attend regular kindergarten programs. The research was conducted on 60 children, half of whom attend an integrated sport program and the other half attends a regular kindergarten program. Six motor abilities were measured: balance, coordination, speed, explosive power, repetitive power and flexibility. T-test analysis showed that there is a difference in motor abilities between the experimental and control groups. Children who attend integrated sports programs had statistically significant results in tests of flexibility, coordination and explosive power in both genders
