INFLUENCE OF SKIING PRE-KNOWLEDGE, MOTOR ABILITIES AND MORPHOLOGICAL CHARACHERISTICS OF CHILDREN ON LEARNING PROGRESS AT ALPINE SKIING

V diplomski nalogi Vpliv smučarskega predznanja, gibalnih sposobnosti in telesnih značilnosti otrok na napredek pri učenju alpskega smučanja je v teoretičnem delu nekaj besed iz literature namenjenih predstavitvi gibalnih značilnosti otrokovega razvoja, pomenu telesne aktivnosti in individualnih značilnosti otrok. Opisana je začetna šola smučanja in pomen zimovanja za mlajše otroke ter pomembnost strokovnega pristopa. Osnovna naloga diplomske naloge je zajeta v samem naslovu diplome. V empiričnem delu so zajeti rezultati testiranja otrokovih gibalnih sposobnosti in telesnih značilnosti 14 dni pred odhodom na zimovanje ter rezultati testiranja terenskega smučanja prvi in zadnji dan zimovanja. Analizirani so rezultati napredovanja otrok glede na smučarsko predznanje, gibalne sposobnosti in telesne značilnosti, ter rezultati napredovanja po spolu. Prišli smo do zaključka, da so otroci s smučarskim predznanjem slabše napredovali od otrok brez smučarskega predznanja ter da gibalne sposobnosti in telesne značilnosti ne vplivajo na otrokov napredek pri učenju alpskega smučanja.In the theoretical part of the diploma Influence of skiing pre-knowledge, motor abilities and morphological characteristics of children on learning progress at alpine skiing there have been presented some facts about motor characteristics of child development, the significance of physical activities and child individuality. It has been presented the skiing course for beginners, the importance of skiing vacation for younger children and the significance of professional approach. The title of the diploma paper embraces the essential intention. The empirical part consists of testing results of children physical abilities and morphological characteristics two weeks before the course started and the results of skiing on the first and the last day of the vacation. Results of children progress are analysed according to their previous skiing knowledge, physical abilities, morphological characteristics and according to sex. We have come to a conclusion that children with previous skiing knowledge made worse progress than children without that knowledge and that motor abilities and morphological characteristics have no influence on child progress at learning alpine skiing
