Abstract
Summary The aim of the work was to compare the level of somatic and selected motor abilities of pupils of the 1st year in Svit with a national research of primary schools. The goal was to choose boys for athletic training based on individual and overall physical performance. The parameters showing the bodily development of the probands were body height, body weight and BMI index. To determine the all-round readiness of students, we used a test set consisting of the following tests: maximum forward bend, endurance in pull-ups, long jump from standing position, shuttle run 4 x 10 m and endurance Beep test. We processed empirical data using statistical-mathematical characteristics. We used the Shapiro-Wilk test to calculate the normality of the data and then calculated the statistical significance of the mean values using the Parametric Unpaired T-test. We recorded significant differences at the 1% and 5% level of statistical significance when comparing the results of our groups with the national ones in individual motor tests: maximum forward bend, long jump from a place, shuttle run 4 x 10 m and endurance Beep test. Differences in somatic indicators and performance between Svit students were confirmed without statistical significance. In the end, we evaluated the level of performance of pupils according to the standards of the population on the basis of their achieved results. We recommended children who achieved the highest points of overall readiness for athletic preparations, as well as those who showed an above-average level of performance in individual tests.
