The influence of elements of yoga on some motor skills of students in 1st grade

V zadnjih sto letih se je način življenja po celem svetu zelo spremenil. Otroci večino dneva presedijo, v njihovem vsakdanu je malo priložnosti za gibanje, ki je ena od otrokovih osnovnih potreb. Pomankanje gibanja se odraža na celotnem razvoju otrok. Da bi spodbudili gibanje med poukom, smo vpeljali vadbo elementov joge, in sicer trikrat na teden po 15 minut. Postavili smo si vprašanje, ali joga vpliva na gibalne sposobnosti otrok v 1. razredu osnovne šole. V magistrskem delu smo želeli ugotoviti, ali joga vpliva na koordinacijo, ravnotežje in gibljivost in ali se pojavljajo razlike med deklicami in dečki pri gibalnih sposobnostih po izvedbi programa joge. Magistrsko delo je razdeljeno na teoretični in empirični del. V teoretičnem delu smo opisali zgodovino joge in značilnosti, opisali smo jogo za otroke in asane. Nato smo pisali o merskih instrumentih in opredelili gibalne sposobnosti. V empiričnem delu smo podrobneje opisali raziskavo, v kateri je sodelovalo 15 učencev 1. razreda Osnovne šole Toneta Tomšiča Knežak. Skupina je izvajala jogo v mesecu januarju, februarju in marcu, in sicer trikrat na teden po 15 minut. Jogo smo izvajali na začetku ali med poukom. S pomočjo športnovzgojnega kartona in eurofit testne baterije flamingo smo ugotavljali, ali joga vpliva na določene gibalne sposobnosti. Rezultati so nam pokazali, da je skupina učencev 1. razreda izboljšala gibalne sposobnosti, koordinacijo in ravnotežje. Med deklicami in dečki ni bilo razlik v izvedbah.In the last hundred years, the way of life around the world has changed a lot. Children sit most of the day and there are few opportunities for movement in their everyday life, which is one of children\u27s basic needs.The lack of movement affects the overall development of children. To encourage movement during classes, we introduced the practice of yoga elements for 15 minutes three times a week. We asked ourselves whether yoga affects the motor skills of children in the 1st grade of primary school. In the master\u27s thesis, we wanted to find out whether yoga affects coordination, balance and mobility and whether there are differences between girls and boys in mobility skills according to the implementation of the yoga programme. The master\u27s thesis is divided into a theoretical and an empirical part. In the theoretical part, we described the history of yoga and its features, we described yoga for children and asanas. Then we wrote about measurement instruments and defined movement skills. In the empirical part, we described in more detail a survey in which 15 1st-grade students of the Tone Tomšič Elementary School participated. The group practiced yoga three times a week for 15 minutes in January, February and March. We practiced yoga at the beginning or during the class. Withthe help of a sports training card and the Eurofit flamingo test battery, we determined whether yoga has an effect on certain movement skills. The results showed us that the group of 1st grade students improved their motor skills, coordination, flexibility and balance. There were no differences in performance between girls and boys
