THE IMPACT OF MATERIAL AND TECHNICAL CONDITIONS AND METHODS OF ORGANISATION ON THE MOTOR STATUS OF ADOLESCENTS

<p>Importance of physical education and its placment in the educational system are known for a<br />long period of time. Many resreaches have been conducted in order to determine the extent to<br />which physical education positively influences students. Results of some studies show that<br />physical education classes are unsatisfactory and inappropriate, given the circumstances- age<br />and individual skills of students, their needs and interests (Arunovic, 1978; Visnjic, 1983;<br />Krsmanovic, 1988, 1995). Main reasons for ineficinet physical education classes can be found<br />in the bad concept of modelling teaching syllabuses and small number of physical education<br />classes per week (Krsmanovic, 1995). The aim of the study is determining differences<br />between examinees in terms of motor skills, depending on material and technical conditions<br />as well as method of class organisation that is realization of the curriculum. The participants<br />in the study were 142 adolescents, 17 years of age (&plusmn; 6 months ). In order to assess motor<br />skills 12 motor tests were used. Data processing was done by applying multivariate analysis<br />of covariance (MANCOVA), significance of difference was determined by analysis of<br />variance (ANOVA), while differences among examinees of the experimental and the control<br />group were determined by discriminant analysis. After the experimental treatment, it was<br />determined that there was statistically significant difference between the experimental and the<br />control group within the motor skills system.&nbsp;</p>
