ABSTRACTČillík, I., Kollár, R., Kremnický, J., Pivovarniček, P., & Mandzáková, M. (2015). The level of general physical performance and physical development of 7 and 10-year-old boys and girls. J. Hum. Sport Exerc., 9(Proc1), pp.S259-S268. This contribution deals with the level of general physical performance and physical development of 7 and 10-year-old pupils attending primary schools. The sample consisted of pupils from all primary schools in Banska Bystrica: 492 pupils attending the 1 st grade and 433 pupils attending the 4 th grade. The following indicators of general physical performance were monitored: sit-andreach, standing long jump, sit-ups in 30 s, flexed arm hang, shuttle run 4x10 meters, endurance shuttle run. Also basic somatic indicators such as body height, body weight and BMI were found out. In both age categories we found out that male pupils achieved better level in five tests of general physical performance: standing long jump, sit-up, flexed arm hang, shuttle-run 4 x 10 m and endurance shuttle-run. At the age of 7, male pupils are statistically significantly better in three tests (p<0.05) and at the age of 10, they are better in four tests (p<0.05). Girls achieve statistically significantly better level of trunk flexibility (p<0.05). 7-years old boys and girls achieve better level of joint flexibility than10-years old boys and girls. In other tests, the 10-year-old boys and girls are better.
This contribution deals with the level of general physical performance of 10-year-old male and female pupils attending primary schools. Fourth grade pupils attending primary schools in Banská Bystrica were tested in the number of 433 pupils (220 boys and 213 girls). The following indicators of general physical performance were monitored: sit-and-reach, standing long jump, sit-ups, flexed arm hang, shuttle run 4 × 10 m, endurance shuttle run. Also basic somatic indicators such as body height, body weight and BMI were found out. 10-year-old boys achieve better level in five tests of general physical performance. The girls achieve statistically better level in one test. When comparing it with the previous researches in Slovakia, we noted a lower level of general physical performance but a higher level of indicators of physical development of boys and girls from Banska Bystrica. Used set of tests affects the whole range of general physical performance, and it is adequate to the temporal, spatial and material conditions of schools.
This study presents the level of general physical performance and physical development of 7 years old pupils from all public primary schools in Banská Bystrica (n = 492, boys n = 252, age = 7.39, ± 0.43 years, girls n = 240, age = 7.24, ± 0.34) and fi ndings about the after-school physical activity of pupils. The following indicators of physical development were monitored: body height, body weight and BMI. The following indicators of general physical performance were monitored: sit-and-reach test, standing long jump, sit-ups, fl exed arm hang, shuttle run 4 x 10 m and endurance shuttle run. Body height and body weight of the boys was higher (p < 0.05) than those of the girls. The boys reached higher BMI, but the difference was not signifi cant (p > 0.05). Statistical analysis of the results of the level of physical performance showed that the boys reached higher level (p < 0.05) in the tests of standing long jump, sit-ups and shuttle run 4 x 10 m to compare them with the girls. We noticed that the boys reached higher level in the tests of fl exed arm hang and endurance shuttle run, but the difference was not signifi cant (p > 0.05). The girls reached higher level (p < 0.05) in the sit-and-reach test. Achieved results of this study are diverse in confrontation with the results of other authors. 63.1 % of the boys stated the after-school physical activity within 1-3 times in a week. 56.7 % of the girls stated the after-school physical activity within 1-3 times in a week.Key words: physical education, primary schools, fi rst-grade pupils, general physical performance, somatic characteristics.Apstrakt: Ova studija predstavlja analizu nivoa opštih fi zičkih performansi i fi zičkog razvoja učenika uzrasta od 7 godina iz svih javnih osnovnih škola u Banskoj Bistrici (n = 492, dječaci n = 252, uzrast = 7.39, ± 0.43 godina, djevojčice n = 240, uzrast = 7.24, ± 0.34), te rezultate o vanškolskim fi zičkim aktivnostima učenika. Praćeni su sljedeći pokazatelji fi zičkog razvoja: visina, težina i BMI. Pokazatelji opštih fi zičkih performansi bili su: test gipkosti dubokim pretklonom sjedeći, skok u dalj iz mjesta, trbušnjaci, izdržaj u zgibu, test agilnosti 4x10m i test izdržljivosti. Visina i težina dječaka je bila veća (p < 0.05) u odnosu na djevojčice. Dječaci su pokazali veći BMI, ali razlika nije bila statistički značajna (p > 0.05). Statistička analiza rezultata nivoa fi zičkih performansi je pokazala da su dječaci dostigli viši nivo (p < 0.05) u testovima skoka u dalj iz mjesta, trbušnjacima i testovima agilnosti 4x10m u odnosu na djevojčice. Primijećeno je da su dječaci dostigli viši nivo i u testovima izdržaja u zgibu i testovima izdržljivosti, ali razlika nije bila statistički značajna (p > 0.05). Djevojčice su dostigle viši nivo (p < 0.05) u testovima gipkosti dubokim pretklonom sjedeći. Dobijeni rezultati ove studije se razlikuju od rezultata drugih autora. 63,1% dječaka je izjavilo da imaju vanškolske fi zičke aktivnosti 1-3 puta sedmično. 56,7% djevojčica je izjavilo da ima isto toliko vanškolskih fi z...
