Influence of specially programmed PE lessons on morphological characteristics changes of 7- year-old pupils

In this research the effect of specially programmed PE lessons on morphological characteristics of 7-year-old pupils is being considered. The control group (140 boys and 138 girls) attended regular PE lessons while the experimental (185 boys and 172 girls) attended specially programmed PE lessons in duration of 9 months. Morphological characteristics are estimated by means of 14 measures at the beginning and at the end of treatment. Significant differences have been noticed among experimental groups in relation to control groups and that is in higher values of stature and body mass, leg length, biacromial and biiliocristal diameter, and in lower values of abdomen and subscapular skinfold. More expressed transversal skeleton measures, chest circumference, total arm length and stature have been evidenced at boys while at girls more expressed measures are those of adipose tissue and lower leg circumference.
