Sažetak
Eighty-eight female pupils, aged 11 - 13, have been divided into two groups according to the degree of spine deformation. The subjects have been examined in order to determine to what extent is the level of spine deformation accompanied by particular morphological and motor characteristics. The obtained data that have been statistically processed and methodologically adapted for presentation and point to some facts. The larger middle circurnference of the chest, longer legs and arms have been found to characterize the girls with scoliosis, which refers to a quicker growth of particular bone parts in adolescence. In the field of motor values, the girls from the control group have achieved better results in variables that are influenced by mechanisms for synergic regulation. This leads us to the conclusion that the changes in organization of locomotion mechanisms at different degrees of regulation can be found in girls with spine deformation. Better mobility of the spine in girls with spine deformation is the result of the more efficient exercises. The results leave space for a certain amount of doubt about the choice of kinesiological operators, the way of application and about the achieved effects.
