Abstract.This research has been conducted with the purpose of determining
to which extent it is possible to transform the motor abilities of children
by dance content. The sample of children used consisted of 30 boys and
30 girls, 5.5-6.5 years old. The motor abilities were evaluated on the
basis of nine variables (one for strength, two for speed, two for flexibility,
two for balance, and two for coordination). The boys and girls were involved
in an experiment which lasted for 48 hours and consisted of practising
dance steps for three hours a week, over a period of four months. After
this, the final measuring was carried out. By calculating the coefficient
of the descriptive statistics, the coefficient of the T-test and the Wilks'
Lambda coefficient, the data was collected. Based on the results of the
research it can be concluded that there is a significant statistical difference
between the initial and final measuring. In the second measuring, there
is a significant difference between all the variables, except in one variable
for the speed of the boys and two variables for the speed of the girls.
The results showed that the given hypothesis concerning the positive influence
of dance contents on some of the motor abilities of boys and girls could
be accepted.
Key words: dance contents, motor abilities, boys, girls
UTICAJ PLESNIH STRUKTURA NA MOTORIČKE
SPOSOBNOSTI DECE PREDŠKOLSKOG UZRASTA
Istraživanje je sprovedeno sa svrhom da se utvrdi u kojoj meri je moguće
menjati motoričke sposobnosti plesnim sadržajima. Uzorak ispitanika
činilo je 30 dečaka i 30 devojčica, starih između šest i sedam godina.
Motoričke sposobnosti su procenjene na bazi devet varijabli (jedna
za snagu, dve za brzinu, dve za fleksibilnost, dve za ravnotežu, dve za
koordinaciju). Dečaci i devojčice su bili uključeni u eksperimentalan tretman
koji je bio sačinjen od vežbanja plesnih sadržaja, tri sata nedeljno, tokom
četiri meseca. Izvedeno je 48 sati plesa. Posle ovoga izvršeno je drugo
merenje motoričkih sposobnosti. Za procenjivanje razlika između merenja
izračunati su koeficijenti deskriptivne statistike, koeficijent T-testa
i Wilks' Lambda. Bazirano na rezultatima istraživanja može se zaključiti
da postoji značajna statistička razlika između početnog i krajnjeg merenja.
Na drugom merenju postoji značajna razlika u svim varijablama, osim
jedne varijable brzine za dečake i dve varijable brzine za devojčice. Time
je potvrđena postavljena hipoteza o postojanju pozitivnog uticaja plesnih
sadržaja na motoričke sposobnosti dečaka i devojčica predškolskog
uzrasta.
