TENNIS AS A MEANS OF DEVELOPING MOTOR ABILITES IN CHILDREN

Diplomsko delo Tenis kot sredstvo za razvijanje motoričnih sposobnosti otrok je teoretično delo. Namen diplomske naloge je podrobneje predstaviti tenis kot sredstvo, s katerim lahko razvijamo motorične sposobnosti otrok. Uporabljeni sta bili deskriptivna in primerjalna metoda raziskovanja. Predstavili smo nekaj splošnih spoznanj o gibanju in motoriki, pojasnili nekaj osnovnih značilnosti tenisa ter osvetlili vpliv tenisa na motorični razvoj otrok. Posebna pozornost je bila namenjena motoričnemu razvoju in vplivu tenisa na razvoj otrok. Pojasnili smo stopnje motoričnega razvoja in motorične sposobnosti, ki so odgovorne za izvedbo naših gibov in so ključnega pomena. Predstavili smo vpliv tenisa na razvoj motorike pri otrocih ter v kolikšni meri in kako tenis vpliva na njihov motorični razvoj. Ugotovili smo, da je staršem, vzgojiteljem in trenerjem na voljo dovolj literature, ki nudi informacije o razvoju motorike s pomočjo vadbe tenisa. Iz vsebine uporabljene literature na teoretičnem nivoju ugotavljamo, da z vadbo tenisa in elementarnimi teniškimi igrami razvijamo tudi motoriko otroka.The thesis Tennis as a means of developing infant motor skills is a theoretical work. The purpose of the thesis is to explain in detail the role of tennis as a means of developing the motor skills of children. The descriptive and comparative research methods were used. We have presented some general knowledge about movement and motor skillswe explained some of the basic features of tennis and shed light on the impact of this sport on the motor development of children. Special attention was focused on the motor development and the impact of tennis on infant progress. We explained the levels of motor development and the motor skills responsible for the execution of our movements – which are in that sense vital. We have presented the impact of tennis on the progress of motor functions in children, and to what extent and how tennis affects their motor development. We determined that parents, educators and trainers have enough literature at hand that provides information on the development of motor functions through tennis exercise. The contents of the employed literature suggest that practicing tennis and elementary tennis games helps develop the motor skills of children
