The sample comprised 621 children aged nine to eleven years, among which there were 316 girls (M=10; SD=0.8) and 305 boys (M=10; SD=0.81). In order to assess their motor skills, seven different tests were used, mostly from Eurofit test battery, which covered explosive power, repetitive power balance, eye-hand coordination, speed of simple movements, whole body coordination, and endurance. The assessment was made for each physical fitness test separately. The cut-off points for determination of physically compromised and physically talented children were set at -1SD and +1SD, respectively. The results of all physical fitness tests showed that the share of physically compromised children exceeded ten percent for both genders. The largest number of boys and girls were physically compromised with regard to endurance and balance, respectively. On the other hand, boys proved to be most physically talented with regard to endurance, and girls with regard to explosive power. Gender differences were most obvious with regard to general endurance, as 21 per cent of the boys were physically compromised as opposed to 13 per cent of the girls. As for physical talent, we observed less gender-related differences. The results indicate increasing differences in physical fitness among children from northeastern Slovenia. The implementation of curricular and extracurricular sports activities should aim at reducing the number of physically compromised children. On the other hand, it would make sense to encourage physically talented children to get involved in organized forms of exerciseNamen raziskave je bil ugotoviti delež gibalno ogroženih in gibalno nadarjenih otrok v severovzhodni Sloveniji. Vzorec je obsegal 621 otrok, starih od 9 do 11 let, od tega 316 deklic (AS=10; SO=0,8) in 305 dečkov (AS=10; SO=0,81). Za ugotavljanje gibalne ogroženosti in nadarjenosti je bilo uporabljenih sedem testov gibalnih sposobnosti, večinoma izbranih iz Eurofit testne baterije, ki merijo hitrost izmeničnih gibov, gibljivost, splošno vzdržljivost, ravnotežje, repetitivno moč, eksplozivno moč in koordinacijo gibanja vsega telesa. Gibalno ogroženost oziroma nadarjenost smo ugotavljali za vsako gibalno sposobnost posebej. Meja za določanje gibalne ogroženosti je bila postavljena pri vrednosti 1 standardnega odklona, meja gibalne nadarjenosti pa pri vrednosti +1 standardnega odklona. Rezultati vseh testov gibalnih sposobnosti kažejo, da je pri obeh spolih delež gibalno ogroženih in nadarjenih otrok višji od 10%. Največ gibalno ogroženih dečkov je v vzdržljivosti, deklic v ravnotežju, največ gibalno nadarjenih dečkov je prav tako v vzdržljivosti, deklic pa v eksplozivni moči. Razlike med spoloma so največje pri vzdržljivosti, kjer je gibalno ogroženih dečkov 21%, deklic pa 13%. Pri gibalni nadarjenosti so razlike med spoloma manjše. Rezultati kažejo na pomembne razlike v gibalnih sposobnostih med otroki v severovzhodni Sloveniji. Izvajanje šolskih in obšolskih športnih dejavnosti mora biti usmerjeno v zmanjšanje gibalne ogroženosti. Po drugi strani pa bi bilo smiselno spodbujati gibalno nadarjene otroke, da se vključijo v organizirane oblike športne dejavnostiTEXTznanstveno časopisjejournalsSlovenian National E-content AggregatorNational and University Library of SloveniaUniverza v Mariboru, Pedagoška fakulteta
