Abstract


In order to determine the effects of an experimental program for a period of 4 months, the growth rate in preschool children was measured by administrating a battery of three tests (the “20 m dash”, “Obstacle course backwards” and “Arm plate tapping”). The sample of consisted of 207 children aged 6-7, 125 of whom were involved in the “Sportska azbuka” (Sports Alphabet) program from Novi Sad (the experimental group), and 82 children of the same age who attended the “Peter Pan” daycare in Novi Sad (the control group). In order to determine the differences between the groups at the point of the initial and the final measuring, the multivariate analysis of variance (MANOVA) was applied for each group, as well as the univariate analysis of variance (ANOVA), which estimated the difference of individual motor variables. In order to determine the effect of the treatment on the transformation of motor abilities between the groups of participants, the multivariate analysis of covariance (MANCOVA) was applied in each age group. The univariate analysis of covariance (ANCOVA) was applied to estimate the difference of individual motor variables. Based on the results of the multivariate analysis of covariance (MANCOVA), it could be concluded that there was an improvement in the results of the experimental group in all three observed variables, hence the speed of preschool children.
