Sažetak
The aim of this research is to establish effects of the physical activity treatment on the development of motor abilities in early and preschool children.The study was conducted in spring 2018 on a sample of 68 children aged between four and six years. The respondents were attendees of the Potočnica kindergarten in Zagreb. Subjects were divided into experimental and control groups. The experimental group consisted of 39 children who were included in the additional physical activity program. They practiced twice a week for 30 minutes in a period of three months. The activity consisted of elementary, competitive and sports games, as well as training basic motor skills (walking, running, jumping, creeping, climbing). A control group of children (29) has been practicing for three months once a week by a regular kindergarten program. For the assessment of motor abilities, a five-test battery was used: Arm plate taping (APT), Sit and reach (SAR), Polygon backward (PBW), Standing long jump (SLJ), Standing on one leg (SOL). The significance of the difference between the arithmetic meanings among the groups was calculated by the t-test at a significance level of p <0.05.
