Introduction: The purpose of the work was to investigate the features of the physiological component of graph-motor skills of children aged from 5 to 8 years old. Materials and methods: Pupils of the 1st and 2nd grades (6-8 years old) and preschool children (5 years old) from general and pre-school educational institutions of Sumy city took part in the research. Hygienic, psychophysical, physiological methods and methods of mathematical statistics were used. Results: The assessment of physical development showed that 52.8±1.9% of children have a harmonious development, among them boys are over (58.3±2.7%) the group of girls (46.6±2.8%). Individual analysis of anthropometric indicators allowed to allocate among the surveyed children's contingent a "risk" group which includes individuals with excess body weight or its deficit. Endogenous factors influencing the formation of graph-motor skills are determined: physiological, cognitive and personal readiness. Conclusions: Mechanisms of physiological adaptation play an important role in adaptation of the child to the new conditions of the educational process, knowledge of their peculiarities is necessary for the early detection of minimal deviations of their health and the timely application of corrective measures.

Background: Interest in the development of a 6-7-year-old child derives among other things from the necessity to evaluate child's readiness to take up a regular educational process. Physical development and physical fitness of the child are components of school maturity.The purpose of the study was to show similarities and differences in the level of physical development and fitness of children attending school and pre-school institutions in the years 2005-2009 in Gdansk.Material/Methods: 15,578 children (8,006 boys and 7,572 girls) from Gdansk were subject to research in the years 2005-2009. The measurements of the height, body mass and 5 skin folds were carried out. BMI and %BF were calculated. To determine the physical fitness level, the following tests were applied: sit and reach, standing broad jump, sit-ups and a 3-min step-test.Results: In pre-schools children higher values of body height were observed in the investigated period (2005-2009) but, at the same time, there were no differences in body mass between children from pre-schools and schools. Nor did the children differ in the amount of fat deposition. In the fitness level the biggest differences between the results achieved by children from schools and pre-schools were noted in the test of standing broad jump on both feet. Both boys and girls from pre-schools got higher scores in this test and their post-effort HR was lower in comparison with their peers from schools.Conclusions: Differences in the level of physical fitness, especially its manifestations depending on everyday physical activity, reflect well on conditions created for children in pre-schools.

Sports schools play crucial role in promotion of physical activity by organized sports participation. Aim of the study: The aim of this study was to evaluate physical development and nutrition status in children beginning education in sports primary school (athletic profile). Material and methods: The research was carried out in the group of 41 children beginning education in sports elementary school and in group of 46 children beginning education in common primary school. The anthropometric measurements (height, weight) with body mass index (BMI) and skinfolds measurements were performed in the examined groups. Results: No significant differences between groups occurred for basic anthropometric measurements (height, weight, BMI). Extreme values some of these parameters were more common in children from sports school, e.g. tall stature (height above the 95th centile) and obesity (BMI above the 95th centile). Underweight (weight below the 5th centile), short stature (height below the 5th centile) and malnutrition (BMI below the 5th centile) were observed only in children from sports school. Thickness of skinfolds (subscapular, suprailiac, crural) were statistically lower in children from sports school. Conclusions: Basic anthropometric measurements (height, weight, BMI) were not significantly different between groups, but extreme values of these parameters were more common in children from sports school. Thickness of subscapular, suprailiac and crural skinfolds were statistically lower in children from sports school.

Szkoły sportowe odgrywają ważną rolę w promowaniu istotnego dla zdrowia ruchu, w jego najbardziej aktywnej formie, czyli sportu wyczynowego. Cel pracy: Celem podjętych badań była próba określenia, na podstawie oceny stanu odżywienia oraz rozwoju fizycznego, potencjału zdrowotnego dzieci rozpoczynających edukację w szkole podstawowej o profilu sportowym. Materiał i metody: Badania przeprowadzono u dzieci rozpoczynających naukę w szkołach podstawowych, w tym u 41 uczniów ze szkoły sportowej i 46 ze szkoły powszechnej. U wszystkich badanych wykonano pomiary antropometryczne (wzrostu, masy ciała) oraz grubości fałdów skórno-tłuszczowych. Wyniki: Podstawowe parametry rozwoju fizycznego (wzrost, masa ciała, BMI) nie wykazywały istotnych statystycznie różnic w obu analizowanych grupach uczniów. U dzieci ze szkoły sportowej częściej niż w grupie kontrolnej występowała wysokorosłość (wzrost powyżej 95. centyla), a także otyłość (BMI powyżej 95. centyla). Niedobór masy ciała (poniżej 5. centyla), niskorosłość (poniżej 5. centyla) oraz niedożywienie (BMI poniżej 5. centyla) obserwowano wyłącznie u uczniów ze szkoły sportowej. Grubość fałdów skórno-tłuszczowych w okolicy podłopatkowej, nad talerzem biodrowym i na podudziu była istotnie statystycznie mniejsza u dzieci ze szkoły sportowej. Wnioski: Analiza podstawowych parametrów rozwoju fizycznego nie wykazywała istotnych różnic w obu badanych grupach uczniów, chociaż skrajne wartości tych parametrów częściej były obserwowane u dzieci ze szkoły sportowej. Grubość fałdów skórno-tłuszczowych w okolicy podłopatkowej, nad talerzem biodrowym i na podudziu była istotnie statystycznie mniejsza u uczniów ze szkoły sportowej.
