Sažetak
The aim of this research was to ascertain the transformational impacts of taekwondo practice on the decrease of motor abilities variables asymmetry coefficients. The sample of examinees consisted of 33 attendants of Croatian taekwondo sport school, whose average chronological age was 10.54±1.46 years, average body height 142.81±9.99 cm, body mass 38.37±8.99 and average fat tissue 26.07±6.28%, divided into two groups with different quantitative organization of training processes: group with up to 100 performed trainings (n=18) and the group with more than 100 performed trainings (n=15). The sample of variables consisted of 7 motor abilities asymmetry tests coefficients measured on the dominant and nondominant side of the body, according to the formula CA = D - ND/ D x 100 (Miletić, Čular, & Božanić, 2004). The subsamples do not statistically significantly differ in the measured anthropological characteristics. The T- test, on the P<0.05 level of significance, determined significant difference between the groups with different quantitative training process treatment. A well planned and programmed kinesiological taekwondo activity influenced the decrease of single leg triple jump asymmetry coefficients difference, hand and foot tapping.
