ABSTRACT
Introduction.:
Strength is the capability to overcome the external resistance or to struggle against any other strength at the cost of muscular effort. Its feature is the growth process until the age 25 years among men and until the age of 14 among women. The active groups of muscles develop their strength over quite a long time. Among both boys and girls aged 8 and 11- 12 the increase of this motor feature is not very high. The study included children who completed Grade 3 of the Primary School at the Sports School Complex in Suprasl and the Primary School in Ogrodniczki. A total number of 470 children aged 9–10 were analyzed. Their strength was evaluated using the throw test: a stickball throw and a throw of a medicine ball.
Objective:
The aim of the study was evaluation of strength among boys and girls aged 9–10 attending the Ferdynand Marecki School in Suprasl.
Methodology:
The study included children who completed Grade 3 of the Primary School at the Sports School Complex in Suprasl and the Primary School in Ogrodniczki. A total number of 470 children aged 9–10 were analyzed. Their strength was evaluated using the throw test: a stickball throw and a throw of a medicine ball.
Findings:
The strength while throwing the stickball was greater among boys than girls. The findings collected during all years of research showed that boys attending cross – country skiing class achieved much better results in throwing the stickball than those attending any other classes of non-sporting profile. Similarly, the girls from the cross – country skiing class achieved better results than their contemporaries from any class of non-sporting profile. However, the boys seemed to be better players in throwing the medicine ball. In all the years of the study, except 2011, boys who planned to attend the cross–country class achieved better results in the medicine ball. Also, the girls who planned to attend the cross – country class were much better players than other girls.
Conclusions:
Summing up, during the 11-year period of study, a slight upward tendency was observed among both boys and girls in their achievements in the stickball and medicine ball throwing. They gradually achieved better results; however, the boys seemed to have preferable scores.
