Abstract
[b]Aim of the study. [/b]The main aim of the thesis is the attempt to compare the level of the selected motor skills of boys who practice alpine skiing and of their peers who do not practice any sport. The next aim is to discover which coordinative skills do the best Polish skiers aged 13–15 excel in.[b]Material and methods.[/b] The material of the thesis consists of the examination results of 38 skiers and 74 boys who do not practice any sport. All the subjects, both skiers and boys who do not train, were divided into 6 groups. They were divided into three age groups: 13- 14- and 15-year-olds. The research was aimed at assessment of the coordinative predispositions (time of simple and complex reaction, visual-motor coordinative, spacial orientation, multitasking, orientation-perception). They were measured by the computer coordinative skills test PNTR. The basic statistic methods, normalized coefficients and Spearman’s rank correlation coefficient were used to elaborate the results.[b]Results.[/b] The boys who train the alpine skiing prevail over the boys who do not train by their level of the analyzed coordinative predispositions. The champions among their age group were characterized by a higher level of coordination, it was evident especially among the 13- and 14-year-olds. It was proved that the strongest link between the sport level of the young skiers and their level of coordinative predispositions have multitasking and orientation-perception.[b]Conclusions. [/b]Alpine skiing requires the highest level of motor skills. Thus, while couching children and adolescents, it is important to put the emphasis on the motor activities that develop not only the balance, but also the motor coordinative skills.
