Description
Summary:The objective of this research was to determine the dynamics of changes in certain anthropological dimensions in pupils of higher grades in Elementary schools of Tuzla. Population from which the sample was taken for this study represent the boys of the fifth, sixth, seventh and eight grade of Tuzla city schools. The study was conducted on a total of 895 subjects, 11-14 years of age. We applied 11 variables suggested by Eurofit battery tests which are as follows: morphological characteristics (2 variables), basic motor skills (8 variables) and one variable for functional skill assessment. With multivariate and univariate covariance analysis we obtained information at what age the boys have the highest growth rate of treated anthropological dimensions. The highest growth rate of body height is in the eight grade, since in this period, the impact of pubertal changes is the most intense. The highest growth rate in variables of basicmotor skill assessment is recorded in the sixth and eight grade, and in variables for functional skill assessment - running with progressive acceleration was recorded in boys of the sixth grade.
