Abstract
The purpose of this study was to determine the effects of an experimental treatment
on morphological characteristics as well as basic and specific motor abilities of young
karate trainees. 12 morphological, 12 basic motor variables and 5 specific motor
variables were applied on 82 boys aged 10-12 years. There were statistically significant
differences in morphological characteristics at p<.001. The greatest effects were seen
for skin folds, which were significantly lower after treatment. Significant differences
were also found for most motor skills at p<.001 (for 9 variables; for one at p<.05).
However, no differences were determined in foot tapping and balancing on one foot
on a balance beam. The results showed that quite satisfactory effects were achieved,
particularly in those abilities with no genetic limitations, which can be considered a
significant contribution to sport science and theory of sport and sports training.
