Influence of an exercise programme on level of coordination in children aged 5 to 6

Čillík, Ivan, 1958- Influence of an exercise programme on level of coordination in children aged 5 to 6 / Ivan Čillík, Tomáš Willwéber . -- The paper presents changes in the level of coordination in children aged 5 – 6, as a result of an exercise programme within the frame of the IAAF Kids Athletics project. The monitoring period lasted for 6 months, during which the members of the experimental group went through 41 training sessions. The group consisted of 18 children aged 5.69 ±0.39 years at the beginning of the research and 6.19±0.39 years at the end of the research. Measured indicators of physical development were height, weight and BMI. Tests used to determine the level of coordination were: vertical jump with rotation, precision standing long jump, precision kneeling overhead throw, lateral line jumps with the aid of a metronome, run to targets, reaction speed of lower extremities, static balance. The group showed in the indicatiors of physical development (body height and body weight) statictically significant changes (p < 0.05). In BMI was recorded decline in the index. We have found out a positive influence of versatile training on body coordination, spatial orientation ability, reaction and balance ability. Small effect was recorded on the kinaesthetic differentiation ability of upper extremities. In the kinaesthetic differentiation ability of lower extremities and rhythmic ability was not recorded any positive influence of the applied motion programme. Regular physical activity of a versatile focus showed positive changes in overall coordination
