Sažetak
This study has been carried out on a sample of 512
girls and 548 boys who participated in “Olympic Festival
of Kindergartens” in 2007. The children were, on average,
six years of age. We analyzed the results in the following
track & field events: 50-m sprint, standing long jump and
softball distance throw. The aim of the study was to
determine the gender differences in all of the observed
events. For that purpose, we created a proposal for the
evaluation of children's performance in each event. The
proposal for evaluation, that has been estimated using
frequency tables and charts, consists of marks and points
arranged in ten clusters. It is important to stress that this is
the first proposal for the evaluation of children's
performance in track & field events. We think that our
proposal could be used as a new method of performance
evaluation in certain track & field competitions as well as
in children's competitions in kindergartens as well as in
schools.
