Čillík, Ivan, 1958- The level of general physical performance and physical development of 7-14 year-old pupils / Ivan Čillík ... [et al.]. -- © 2016, Univerzitet u Travniku. All rights reserved.The aim of this contribution is to find out and compare the level of general physical performance and the level of physical development of 7 14-year-old children in Banská Bystrica and compare them with measurements from the whole Slovakia. We tested 7, 10, and 14-year-old children from primary schools in Banská Bystrica: 492 children at the age of 7, including 252 boys and 240 girls, 433 children at the age of 10, including 220 boys and 213 girls, 301 children at the age of 14, including 164 boys and 137 girls. The following indicators of general physical performance were monitored: sit-and-reach, standing long jump, situps, flexed arm hang, shuttle run 4 x 10 m, endurance shuttle run. Also basic somatic indicators such as body height, body weight and BMI were found out. The boys from Banská Bystrica achieved better level in 5 tests of general physical performance than girls. The girls achieved statistically better level of trunk flexibility in all age categories and the difference in favor of girls is steadily increasing. Physical development of boys and girls in younger school age is similar. After the tenth year, we found out rapid development more significant for boys. In comparison with the previous research on the whole Slovak population 20years ago, we noted a lower level of general physical performance, except the flexed arm hang test but a higher level of physical development of group of boys and girls from Banská Bystrica.
