Różnice w sprawności fizycznej i budowie morfologicznej dziewcząt niepodejmujących dodatkowej aktywności fizycznej w zależności od miejsca zamieszkania

Abstract

It is a fact generally acknowledged on the basis of research that the pace of growing up and maturation are in great measure inherited characteristics. The development of efficiency is strictly connected with the development of physiological bodily growth, especially at the age of puberty. The degree to which the place of dwelling is urbanized, education and parents’ professional position foster larger height of their body. Environmental factors of rural and urban children’s development were clearly changed in the final decade of the 20th century. A determining research aim was answering the basic question – if today, in the age of erasing social differences, the size of settling environment has a huge influence on somatic development and motricity in female lower high school students. The results show that generally girls from cities were more motorial because they had higher results in the majority of carrying out tests. However, girls from the country were better only in two tests as the long standing jump and rising from a lying position. The girls from cities turned out as fitter in comparison with their peers from the country. It seems that the gathered results which concern differences in the level of motoric development can bear evidence of favourable changes which took place in the 21st century in the development of children’s motricity in different environments with relation to urbanization. The physical fitness teenage girls who live in the country or a city are shaped at a similar level, which probably results from similar standards of living in our times. In connection to the changes of the civilization we can observe the disappearance of the differences in physical activity of teenagers living in various environments.
