Sažetak
Extracurricular activities that take place in primary school are organised to satisfy different needs and interests of pupils and are implemented in seven different areas, including sports and health. Extramural sports activities take place outside the school, usually in sports clubs. Both types of activities aim to further influence the anthropological characteristics of the pupils and provide them with new theoretical and practical knowledge in the field of the chosen activity (Caput Jogunica und Barić, 2015). The aim of this study was to determine to what extent the additional extracurricular sports activities influence the development of motor skills of primary school children. We assessed the motor skills of the pupils on a sample of 55 pupils from the 3rd and 4th grade of primary school who were divided into two groups, depending on their participation in sports activities or lack thereof. The measuring instrument used was the Bruininks - Oseretsky Test (shortened version). The results have shown that there are no significant differences between the two groups. However, in one manipulative skill (Z=2.68, p=0.01) and in two gross motor skills (Z=281, p=0.00; Z 2.06, p=0.04) those students who did not participate in additional extracurricular or extramural sports activities achieved better results.
