Reliability of Tests for the Assessment of Balance, Coordination and Strength among Younger Preschool Children
The aim of this research is to determine metric characteristics of tests for the assessment of balance, coordination and strength among younger preschool children. The sample of examinees consisted of 115 children aged four (+/- 6 months). The sample of variables was made up of 9 newly designed tests for the assessment of balance (MRUJN – longitudinal standing on one leg, MRPDN – transverse standing on two legs, MRUDN – longitudinal standing on t…
Associations between Morphological Characteristics, Motor Abilities and Preparedness for School in Preschool Girls/Povezanosti morfoloških karakteristika, motoričkih sposobnosti i spremnosti za školu …
Links between morphological characteristics (MC), motor abilities (MA) and psychological preparedness (PP) for school of preschool girls could help improve the quality of educational work for their teachers. The main goal of the study was to determine the correlation between three sets of data: MA, MC and PP. The randomized sample of preschool girls (N=127), aged 6-7, was examined. Fourteen MCs were measured. To measure MAs of the participants, 1…
Metric Characteristics of Tests for Assessing Coordination, Speed and Balance in a Four-Year Old Children / Metrijske karakteristike testova za procjenu koordinacije, brzine i ravnoteže kod četverogod…
The aim of this pilot study was to determine the metric characteristics of tests for assessing coordination, speed and balance in preschool children. For the purpose of this study, a sample of 59 boys and girls was measured. The respondents were selected from three kindergartens in city of Zagreb and their age ranged from 48 ± 6 month. The variables were composed of six motor tests from which two test was for assessing coordination (walking on al…
Correlations between Motor Abilities, Morphological Characteristics, and Preparedness for School at Pre-school Boys
The associations between motor abilities (MA), morphological characteristics (MC), and cognitive preparedness (PP) for school in pre-school aged boys should provide a platform for improved systematic educational work. The main goal of this research is to determine the correlation between children’s MA, MC and PP, using univariate and multivariate statistical methods. Randomized sample of pre-school boys (N=106), aged 6-7, was examined. Eighteen c…
Towards the Construction of Test for Assessing Motor Abilities in Four-aged Preschool Children
The objective of this study is to determine the basic metrical properties of the tests for the assessment latent dimensions of motor abilities at four-year children. Sample included 50 children aged 4 years (± 6 months) from three kindergartens in Zagreb, during the first half of 2015. Battery of tests that assess the hypothetical motor abilities (coordination, speed, balance, and strength) was applied. Reliabilities of the tests varied in the ra…
Gender Differences in Some Motor Abilities of Preschool Children / Razlike po spolu u nekim motoričkim sposobnostima djece predškolske dobi
The paper presents the results of the investigation of gender differences in motor abilities of preschool boys (n=106) and girls (n=121), 6-7 years of age. Eighteen composite motor tests adapted for preschool children, three for each hypothetical latent motor dimension (coordination, flexibility, strength, agility, accuracy and balance) were used to measure motor performance of the subjects. Statistically significant gender differences in motor v…
Play and Children’s Kinesiological Activities
Research was conducted among 628 primary school pupils from the first to the fourth grade (7-10 years of age) in order to determine preferences for play and kinesiological leisure activities among early school-age children, i.e. children at the age subsequent to preschool age where play is a primary means of impact on a person's overall anthropological status. The obtained results point to a possible conclusion that the tendency of preference for…
Standing Long Jump Performance Quality
The primary aim of this research was to determine age and gender differences in the quality of fundamental motor skill performance - the standing long jump. The research was conducted on the sample of 72 preschool children (31 girls and 41 boys) aged 5 - 7 years, all attending preschool in Čakovec. General characteristics of the standing long jump skill were assessed using Roberton and Halverson method (1984). Data was collected by video recordin…
