Sažetak
The basic aim of this study was to determine whether
and to what extent do changes in motor status occur under
the influence of karate training, and whether there are
differences in changes and development of various motor
abilities under the influence of a nine-month karate
training between the experimental A group (9-10 years of
age) and the control B group (10-11 years of age).
The sample was comprised of male karatekas, the
elementary school students who, at the time of the initial
testing, were 9-10 and 10-11 years old. Both age groups
were exposed to the same nine-month programmed karate
training which affected, together with their regular PE
classes, the motor status of children.
Twelve variables were used in order to assess the
basic and specific motor abilities.
In accordance with the aim of the study, the results
confirmed the first hypothesis stating that the increased
level of physical activity karate training in this case
affects both the qualitative and the quantitative changes in
the motor status of children-karatekas.
The second hypothesis, stating that there were
differences in changes and development of various motor
abilities (e.g. frequency of movements, explosive
jumping and throwing strength) under the influence of a
nine-month karate training between the A and B group,
was also confirmed.
On the basis of obtained results, it can be concluded
that, with regard to the latent sphere, the nine-month
karate training caused positive changes of motor abilities
in nine- and ten-year-old children-karatekas.
