The Influence of Dance Structures on the Motor Abilities of Preschool Children Export

@article{kmju02, abstract = {Abstract. This research has been conducted with the purpose of determining to which extent it is possible to transform the motor abilities of children by dance content. The sample of children used consisted of 30 boys and 30 girls, 5.5–6.5 years old. The motor abilities were evaluated on the basis of nine variables (one for strength, two for speed, two for flexibility, two for balance, and two for coordination). The boys and girls were involved in an experiment which lasted for 48 hours and consisted of practising dance steps for three hours a week, over a period of four months. After this, the final measuring was carried out. By calculating the coefficient of the descriptive statistics, the coefficient of the T-test and the Wilks' Lambda coefficient, the data was collected. Based on the results of the research it can be concluded that there is a significant statistical difference between the initial and final measuring. In the second measuring, there is a significant difference between all the variables, except in one variable for the speed of the boys and two variables for the speed of the girls. The results showed that the given hypothesis concerning the positive influence of dance contents on some of the motor abilities of boys and girls could be accepted.}, author = {Kostic, R. and Miletic, D. and Jocic, D. and Uzunovic, S.}, citeulike-article-id = {349924}, citeulike-linkout-0 = {http://facta.junis.ni.ac.yu/facta/pe/pe2002/pe2002-08.pdf}, journal = {Physical Education and Sport}, keywords = {children, dancing, motor, music, rhythm}, posted-at = {2005-11-22 12:03:51}, priority = {2}, title = {The Influence of Dance Structures on the Motor Abilities of Preschool Children}, url = {http://facta.junis.ni.ac.yu/facta/pe/pe2002/pe2002-08.pdf}, volume = {1}, year = {2002} }
