Sažetak
Introduction: Identification of the motor abilities in relation to initial biomotor variables based on two sources of variability (natural development and treatment programme effects) establishes global principles of general support for growth and development of children. Aim of the study: The innovative approach of this research was to separate the natural and the intentional processes of morphological characteristics based on different initial motor abilities. The focus of the study was on biological processes, we were not especially interested in local data as elementary statistical indicators. Materials and methods: The investigation concerned 249 boys (7 years old) who were divided into three groups: motorically inferior, moderate, superior and who participated in a transformational process lasting 18 months. They were measured three times and described by 26 biomotor variables. Their morphological status, as well as its changes, were to a great extent characterized by the initial motor configuration. Discriminant analysis was used to data which were first transformed into universal range (1.0-5.0). Only the common variability in the space of morphological measures was retained for further procedures. Results: For measurements repeated three times, two discriminant functions were computed: first, more pronounced, differentiated the inferior from the superior subjects exclusively on the basis of fatty tissue measures ; second, somewhat less pronounced, differentiated the motorically moderate subjects on the basis of all other morphological indicators. Conclusions: The programme ensured the conditions for better improvement for the motorically poorer, in contrast with the motorically more proficient subjects, so inferior boys got better support for their growth and development then superior.
