Sažetak
How to improve and secure the general wellbeing of children and then adults is a global question of the modern society. A large number of researches are directed towards determining the importance of certain factors on the general health status of an individual with the goal of reducing the number of cases of people with acute and chronic diseases of the vascular, locomotor and other important body systems (WHO, 2016). This study covered 53 students in the 7th (23) and 8th (30) grade of elementary school Sirotkova from Brno. The children were aged 14±1.5 years, 165±3.5 cm tall and 56.9±5 kg weight. The estimate of morphological traits (Body Mass Index), motor (curl up, trunk lift, push up 90°, sit and reach and shoulder stretch) and functioning (PACER test) abilities was conducted with the FitnessGram battery of tests (Cooper institute, 2013), adapted to the school population of Czech boys (Plowman & Meredith, 2013). The aim of this research was to determine if the health status of students significantly differs from the norm of the „Health Fitness Zone“ (President Youth Fitness Program, 2013). Based on the obtained results the majority of students are in the healthy fitness zone, but the more significant deviation happened when the students were put through the back strength and flexibility estimate intrunk lift test. The probable cause for the deviation is the intense growth spurt common for boys in that age range, where the tension of muscles is smaller, weakened (Sekulić, Metikoš, 2007) and because of that special attention should be payed to prevention of possible injuries and deformations to the lumbar and sacral part of the back.
