| description | The aim of the conducted research was to determine scientifically, by applying experimental
methods, whether an additional program of physical exercises, carried out under regular working
conditions at preschool institutions, can result in significant changes in the morphological
characteristics of preschool children, mean age 6.21 ± 0.56 years. A total of 64 preschool children,
girls (n=28) and boys (n=36) attending preparatory preschool lessons in the preschool institution
“Čukarica” in Belgrade were included in the research. The researchers used a pre-experimental
draft survey, namely the draft involving one pretest-posttest group. The sample of the morphological
measuring instruments was designed by applying a reduced theoretical model (Viskić, 1972; Kurelić
et al., 1975). The experimental factor was realised over a period of 24 weeks, in 48 sessions, each
lasting 35 minutes. The research results indicate that, in the final measurement, the differences
between the sexes went in favour of boys in terms of the lower average values of the volume and
body mass, subcutaneous adipose tissue on the back and body mass index. It was also determined
that the additional kinesiology program of activities, regardless of the sex of pupils, had also given
good results in terms of the reduction of the subcutaneous adipose tissue, as well as the volume and
body mass of children. The authors believe that a regular program of physical education in preschool
institutions is insufficient for the preparatory preschool group and that additional kinesiological
activities give better results in the reduction of body mass and subcutaneous fat, especially if they are
directed towards the development of biotic motor skills. |
