Effects of body height on movement competences of pupils
Sláčíková, Barbora ; Vojtíková, Lenka (advisor) ; Kainová, Lucie (referee)
This thesis focuses on the evaluation of how body height, BMI, gender, and leisure-time physical activities affect movement competence of pupils. The theoretical part analyses the younger school age and its characteristics in physical, psychical, movement, and motoric development. We further also analyze how movement activities affect child's organisms. The critical chapter of the theoretical part is a chapter about growth and development. Additionally, we add information about anthropometric and somatic changes in the younger school age. At the end of the theoretical part, we provide an overview of methods that can be used to measure movement competence. We mainly elaborate on MOBAK 3 method, which we chose to use in our research. The research part describes the selected research and statistic methods, research sample, and results. The data showed that there is no significant relationship between body height and movement competence. However, we found significant relationships with the other variables - BMI, gender, and leisure-time physical aktivity. KEYWORDS younger school age, body height, movement competence, motoric testing, Mobak

Motor abilities of younger school age children in floorball
Dubová, Kristýna ; Hájková, Jana (advisor) ; Pádivý, Martin (referee)
The target of my thesis is to find out the level of physical abilities of younger school boys who are active in floorball. I tested the level of motor abilities using the Unifittest (6-60) and the Holistic Motor Test. I did the testing in the floorball club called Start 98 Prague, where I tested 62 players. I compared the level of motor abilities with the general population. I also wanted to find out how big the differences will be with the players who are divided by performance. The research section shows that the players have achieved the best results in their strengths tests. Furthermore, it turned out that the worst achievements were obtained by the players in agility tests. Average results were obtained by the players during their speed skills tests.
