| Abstract | Cilj je ovog istraživanja bio utvrditi povezanost između indeksa tjelesne mase i motoričkih znanja djece predškolske dobi.
Istraživanje je provedeno na uzorku od 43 ispitanika, od kojih je 17 ispitanika ženskog spola i 26 muškog spola. Istraživanje je provedeno u dječjem vrtiću „Cipelica“ u Čakovcu. Sudjelovala su djeca u dobi od 5 do 6 godina. Uzorak varijabli sačinjavao je 3 antropometrijske mjere (tjelesna visina, tjelesna težina i indeks tjelesne mase BMI), 12 testova za procjenu motoričkih znanja (trčanje, galop, skok, poskok, horizontalan skok, galop strance, bejzbol udarac, vođenje lopte u mjestu, hvatanje lopte, udarac lopte nogom, bacanje lopte i kotrljanje lopte). Motorička znanja djece procijenjena su testom za procjenu temeljnih motoričkih znanja, „Test of Gross Motor Development“ (TGMD-2).
Rezultati su pokazali da su djeca u prosjeku visoka 119.69 cm i tjelesne mase 23.47 kg. Prosječni rezultat indeksa tjelesne mase (ITM) iznosi 16.20 te prati krivulju normalnog rasta i razvoja (WHO, 2007). Rezultati prikazuju da je 2.3% pothranjeno, 74.4% normalno uhranjeno, 9.3% prekomjerne tjelesne mase i 11.6% pretile djece. Prosječna vrijednost ukupnog motoričkog indeksa iznosi (88.13). U istraživanju je dobivena negativna povezanost između indeksa tjelesne mase i lokomotornog testa trčanje (r=-0.37) te niska, ali značajna povezanost indeksa tjelesne mase i bejzbol udarca (r= -.31), kao i indeksa tjelesne mase i kotrljanja lopte (r=-.27). |
| Abstract (english) | The aim of this study was to establish the correlation between the body mass index and the motor skills of pre-school children.
The research consisted of 43 children (17 girls and 26 boys) aged 5 - 6. The research was conducted in the kindergarten "Cipelica" in Čakovec. The sample of variables consisted of 3 anthropometric measurements (body height, body weight and body mass index BMI), 12 tests for the assessment of motor skills (running, gallop, leap, pitch, horizontal jump, gallop sideways, kicking into a stationary ball, dribbling balls in place, catching a ball, kicking a ball, throwing a ball and rolling a ball). The motor skills in children were evaluated by the Test of Gross Motor Development (TGMD-2).
The results showed that the average children height was 119.69 and the body weight was 23.47 kg. The average body mass index (ITM) is 16.20 and follows the normal growth and development curve (WHO, 2007). The results show that 2.3% are underweight, 74.4% are normal weight, 9.3% are overweight and 11.6% obese. The average value of the total motoric index was (88.13). There was a negative correlation between the body mass index and the locomotor test (r = -0.37) and the low but significant correlation between the body mass index and baseball kick (r = -31), as well as the body mass index and rolling of the ball (r=-.27). |
