Evaluation of the motor activity of older school-age children by the MABC-2 test battery at a selected elementary school
ŽÁNOVÁ, Marie
The aim of this graduation thesis is to find out the level of fine and gross motoric skills amongst children of older school age in a selected elementary school. The theoretical part of the thesis was based on the literature review. In June 2021 we tested 10 girls ages 11-12 years. The level of their motor skills was measured by a standardized Movement Assessment Battery for Children - Second Edition, which includes 8 motor tests suitable for both genders. The testing was completed in the gym of Pohůrecká primary school in České Budějovice after informed consent of children's legal representative. A survey was carried out to characterize the sample. Based on the experiment, it was found that the best results were obtained in the aiming & catching (62,1th percentile). The next one was the balance task (41,7 percentiles) fallowed by the manual dextery (40,2 percentile). One girl was diagnosed with the 3rd band motor skills and ske got the receommendition for a specialist. The overall level of gross motor skills of tested children is slighty above average.

Evaluation of the motor activity of younger school-age children by the MABC-2 test battery at a selected elementary school
ČELIKOVSKÝ, Jakub
The aim of this graduation thesis is to find out the level of fine and gross motoric skills amongst children of younger school age in a selected elementary school. In total, we tested 44 children (21 boys and 23 girls) from the 1st to 4th grade from the age of 7 to 10 in January 2018. The level of their motoric skills was measured by a standardized Movement Assessment Battery for Children Second Edition, which includes 8 motor tests suitable for both genders. We compared boys and girls with each other in components and test tasks. The total test results have shown that 100% of children have no motor problems (1st range). In spite of that, there were individuals who fell into the 2nd range (risk of motor problems) in components of manual skills, aiming & catching or 3rd band (major motor problems). Research has convinced us that the fine and gross motor skills of most tested children are at a very good standard.

The graphomotoric progress related to pre-school children with symptoms of hyperactivity
ŠMÍDOVÁ, Kateřina
Graphomotor skills are a set of motoric skills in the field of graphics. Their development is dependent on the overall level of psychomotor development, especially gross and fine motor skills. Hyperactivity means excessive compulsion to perform activities, excessive movements. This is why children with symptoms of hyperactivity are very frequently prone to occurrence of problems in some area of psychomotor skills. The aim of the thesis was to ascertain to what extent the level of graphomotor development influences postponement of school attendance and also how kindergartens handle development of fine and gross motor skills in these. Both aims were fulfilled. The theoretical section of the thesis deals with a detailed description of the problems, attempting to present a comprehensive overview of the topic. The research section is made up of integrated research. Qualitative research took place with the aid of controlled interviews with representatives of kindergartens. The interview was recorded in writing and subsequently analysed and elaborated into tables. The quantitative section of the research was base on gathering of data with the aid of questionnaires and subsequent analysis of the data. The results were elaborated into graphs. There were a total of two questionnaires, one for pedagogical workers and second for parents of children cited by teachers, both anonymous. Those questionnaires ascertained the level of gross and fine motor skills, graphomotor skills and any possible postponement (even considered) of school attendance. Two hypotheses were determined. The research confirmed both hypotheses. It was evident from the results of the research that deficiencies in the development of graphomotor skills in pre-school children are dependent on the development of gross motor skills and coordination and that hyperactive children show greater shortcomings in these areas. This is why development of psychomotor skills should be supported and developed in a targeted manner during pre-school years. This can help to prevent problems with graphomotor skills, especially in hyperactive children.
