ABSTRACT

This study aims the evaluation of the level, dynamics and direction of changes in the development of motor skills among early-school aged girls under the influence of a regularly practiced dance. The study involved 357 girls aged 7–10. The experimental group consisted of 192 girls attending dance classes at schools and children’s dance groups. The physical fitness level was assessed by seven trials from the Eurofit test battery that allowed to determine the level of balance, speed of upper limb movement, flexibility, explosive strength of the lower limbs, static hand strength, strength endurance of the abdominal muscles and agility. Measurements were carried out twice with a 9-month interval during one school year. Test scores were used to determine profiles of motor skill levels for a group of dancing girls, standardised against the control group. The dynamics of changes were determined on the basis of percentage indicators for relative increments. The frequency of changes between measurements was expressed as the number of subjects in percentages. The dancing girls presented a higher level in six motor skills and changes in their physical fitness were more dynamic. Statistically, significant increases were found for balance, flexibility, static hand strength and agility.

摘要

本研究旨在评估在定期练习舞蹈的影响下，早期学龄女孩运动技能发展变化的水平、动态和方向。该研究涉及 357 名 7-10 岁的女孩。实验组由 192 名在学校和儿童舞蹈团参加舞蹈课的女孩组成。身体健康水平通过 Eurofit 测试电池的七项试验进行评估，这些试验允许确定平衡水平、上肢运动速度、柔韧性、下肢爆发力、静态手部力量、腹部肌肉的力量耐力和敏捷性. 在一个学年中以 9 个月的间隔进行了两次测量。测试分数用于确定一组舞女的运动技能水平概况，与对照组进行标准化。变化的动态是根据相对增量的百分比指标确定的。测量之间的变化频率表示为受试者人数的百分比。舞女的六项运动技能水平更高，体能变化也更加动态。据统计，平衡性、柔韧性、静态手部力量和敏捷性显着提高。
