Sažetak
The basic aim of this paper was to determine the efficiency of mastering an obstacle course in female students of the University of Zagreb, Faculty of Teacher Education. The study involved 45 female students - 24 female students enrolled in Early Childhood and Preschool Education studies and 21 female students enrolled in Teacher Education studies. The length of the obstacle course was 40 metres. It consisted of a total of seven motor tasks whose effective mastering required speed, coordination, strength, flexibility, and lateral agility. The results showed that, on average, female preschool teachers achieved better results on the obstacle course, i.e., they were faster than female primary school teachers by 3.94 seconds. The Mann-Whitney U test showed no significant differences in heart rate values, while significant differences between groups were confirmed in the time necessary to master the obstacle course in favour of Early Childhood and Preschool Education students.
