PHYSICAL SKILLS OF 5th CLASS -CHILDREN IN VILLAGES AND CITIES AND THEIR COMPARISION

The goal of this bachelor's thesis was to determine the level of physical skills of children in 5th grade and to compare the level of skills of children in primary schools in villages and cities. Due to the vastness of the topic only gymnastic skills were chosen for the purpose of this research. The gymnastic skills were selected based on the curriculum of physical education for 5th grades of primary schools. The skills chosen were: somersault, somersault back, hand stand and vault. The testing was conducted at selected primary schools during classes of physical education with help from physical education teachers. Children were classified by rating scales; these rating scales were created separately for each physical skill. Graphic elaboration of the results was created to help evaluate the research. Furthermore we were interested whether there are more children with apparent overweight in primary schools in cities or in primary schools in villages. We also wanted to distinguish to what extent these children affected the results of the research
