EFFICIENCY OF A PHYSICAL ACTIVITY TREATMENT ON MOTOR PROFICIENCY AMONG PRESCHOOLERS

The study assessed the effects of physical activity treatment on development of motor abilities in preschool children. The research was conducted on sample of 143 children at the age of six. The experimental group, who participated in physical activity program, was consisted of 68 children, while the control group was made of 75 preschoolers. A set of six motor tests was used for access motor abilities and twelve anthropometric measures were taken. The conducted results of analysis of variance show that there is statistically significant difference between experimental and control group in repetitive strength, coordination, frequency of movement and explosive strength. This study demonstrated that children who participated in physical activity treatment produced better outcomes then children who did not included in intervention program of exercise.
