Sažetak
The aim of this research was to identify the influence of the kinesiological treatment, enriched with artistic gymnastics skills, on different anthropological characteristics of first grade students. One hundred and two first- graders were involved in the study, with chronological age of 7±0.5. They were divided in two groups: experimental (76) and (26) control. Both groups attended physical education class 3 times a week for 45 minutes during 6 months but according to different program. Both groups attended current curriculum program but experimental group also did some gymnastics skills (selected due to the material conditions of the school). Level of motor abilities and anthropometric characteristics have been measured in the beginning, after three, after six months of applied treatment and 7 weeks after finishing the treatment. Through this period of time, there was an increase of numerical parameters of morphological variables, however, not significant. Statistically significant differences between the groups were found in different motor variables in different measurement points. Identified differences suggest that the influence of the applied gymnastics treatment in the earlier stages is only visible in the variables that, given the inborn coefficient, have the greatest ability to change (variables that hypothetical estimate flexibility). Upon cessation of the treatment differences in these variables between samples have not been established. The variables that have a higher coefficient of innateness, differences between samples were determined in subsequent measurement points. Given the well- known positive effects of similar treatments, it can be concluded that the time of implementation of the experimental gymnastics program was too short to determine significant differences in a number of variables between groups.
