Background: The purpose of the research was to assess the level of overall motor coordination in children practising sport dance - namely, acrobatic rock'n'roll - against the background of their peers who did not dance. The evaluation also included the lateral differentiation of overall motor coordination and skills of kinaesthetic movement differentiation. Material/Methods: The research was conducted in a group of 64 persons aged eight. The research group consisted of thirty children who had practised acrobatic rock'n'roll for a year. The clinical control group was formed by nineteen schoolgirls and fifteen schoolboys who did not practise any sport dance. The research participants' motor coordination level was evaluated by means of a test with the use of Starosta's coordination-meter. The same test was used to assess the lateral differentiation of the turning jump and to evaluate the participants' skill of kinaesthetic movement differentiation. Results: After one year of practice the research group achieved better results as far as their skills of kinaesthetic differentiation and of movement symmetrisation were concerned. Conclusions: After one-year training, both the boys and girls who practiced sport dance showed a higher level of overall motor coordination than non-training children of the same age.

Many factors in the natural, man-made and social environments can influence the physical growth and maturation and behavioral development of children and adolescents. Improved environmental conditions over the past century or so have contributed to positive secular changes in growth and maturation. More recently, however, technological advances have increased opportunities for sedentary behaviors and contributed to reductions in physical activity, both of which have potentially negative implications for the health of youth. Pollutants associa-ted with some industries also have implications for health. Children with elevated lead levels are at increased risk for impaired growth and maturation and for impairments in fine motor coordination. The impact of elevated lead on gross motor coordination in several tests of physical fitness is mediated through the influence of lead on growth in body size. Similarly, emissions from coal-fired power plants and other industries are associated with asthma, which has implications for the physical activity and fitness of youth.

Wiele czynników środowiskowych naturalnych, wytworzonych przez człowieka oraz społecznych może wpływać na na rozwój fizyczny, dojrzewanie i rozwój behawioralny, tj. zachowania się dzieci i młodzieży. Polepszenie warunków środowiskowych w ostatnim stuleciu przyczyniło się do pozytywnych sekularnych zmian we wzroście i dojrzewaniu. Ostatnio jednak postęp technologiczny wzmógł łatwość zachowań sedentarnych i przyczynił się do zmniejszenia aktywności fizycznej, co potencjalnie niesie negatywne skutki dla zdrowia młodzieży. Zanieczyszczenia przemysłowe mają również wpływ na zdrowie. Dzieci z podwyższonym poziomem ołowiu w krwi mają podwyższone ryzyko zaburzenia wzrostu i dojrzewania, a także uszkodzenia koordynacji motorycznej. Wpływ podwyższonego poziomu ołowiu we krwi na powstawanie zaburzeń motorycznych jest badany za pomocą wielu testów sprawności fizycznej, jest wyrażony przez wpływ ołowiu na wzrost i wielkość ciała. Podobnie emisje zanieczyszczeń z elektrowni węglowych i innych zakładów przemysłowych są związane z astmą, co ma również wpływ na aktywność fizyczną i sprawność młodzieży.
