Abstract
[b]Aim of the work.[/b] The purpose of the thesis is to define relations between somatic build and motor ability of children and young people from Jedlina-Zdrój and physical activity level of their parents.[b]Material and methods. [/b]There have been examined totally 524 pupils (277 boys and 247 girls) aged from 8 to 16 attending the primary school and the junior high school in Jedlina-Zdrój. Height, weight and three skin-fat folds have been measured in the children. Relative body mass index and lean body mass have been also calculated. Physical ability tests have been carried out as well: plate hand tapping, 10×5 m shuttle run, standing broad jump, sit-ups, 1kg medical ball throw and sit and forward reach as well as maximum anaerobic power has been calculated. Children growth examination was completed with survey research of the parents about quality of life of their families, including physical activity.[b]Results and conclusions.[/b] In the examined population of boys the differences of somatic features, in groups distinguished with regard to physical activity of their parents, are statistically unimportant. In case of motor components the statistically important differences were noted only for the lower limb explosive strength. The best results in a test measuring the above aspect of human motor abilities were obtained by boys whose mothers take up physical activity most frequently. The examined female representatives whose fathers are physically active most of all, feature the statistically important greater body mass, higher sum of three skin-fat folds and higher BMI, than daughters of less active fathers. Similar differences of BMI and upper limb functional strength were noted in case of groups distinguished with regard to mothers’ physical activity.
