Sažetak
There is an obvious lack of studies examining the ability grouping effects in kinesiology. Therefore, the aim was to establish the probable differential effects of the heterogeneous (control-C)vs. ability grouping (experimental-E)programmes in a higher education swimming curriculum. In this experiment male students (21+0, 9 years)were the sample of subjects. The E group participated in a swimming course divided into three swimming ability-based subgroups, whereas the c group participated in a swimming programme, randomly divided into three heterogeneous subgroups. Apart from the quantitative changes, the qualitative changes were also studied. An analysis of variance showed significant improwement in the six measured swimming variables (25, 50 and 300 meters front crawl stroke ; 50 meters butterfly stroke and backstroke ; 100 meters breaststroke) in both groups. In conclusion, (a) the factor analysis computed on the variables of the differences, and (b) the canonical discriminant analysis calculated in the initial and final measurements marked the E programme as: (a) qualitatively, and (b) quantitatively superior when compared to the C programme.
