morphological/motor characteristics in girls

Sažetak
The structure of morphological/motor characteristics was analysed on a sample of seven-year old girls, who were measured by morphological measurements and motor tests, by means of the MORPHOTAX algorithm. Five morphological/motor taxonomic dimensions were established, i.e.: the first one differentating the subcutaneous fatty tissue and to a certain degree the volume and the body mass from motor efficacy based on explosive and static strength (relative type), coordination and cardiovascular endurance ; the second showed up as the general factor of motor abilities, defined mainly by the factor of strength and coordination ; the third one to a lesser extent differentatied marked longitudinal dimensionality of the skeleton, in addition to mass and volume of the body from the motor abilities of speed, coordination and endurance ; the fourth one defined the speed accompanied by variables of cardiovascular endurance and agility and to a certain degree transverzal measurements of the skeleton (hips width and diameter of the knees) ; the fifth taxonomic dimension differentiated the girls with regard to balance, flexibility, explosive strength and the transversal dimensionality of the skeleton. In accordance with the results, suggestions have been made for the programming of transformation processes in physical education, which ought to be brought into accord with the morphological/motor types of girls obtained.
