Abstract

The purpose of this study was to investigate the relationship between the development of the fundamental patterns of object control and the components of physical fitness related to children's health in male students aged 7 to 9 years. The sample consisted of 388 volunteers. Growth patterns were measured using the Ulrich test and physical fitness components related to children's health using 540 m long tests, modified flexural tensile test and modified length test. The Ulrich Durable Motor Growth Test (2000) is a revised instrument by Dr. Beverly D Orlech (1985) as a tool for evaluating selected motor skills in children aged 3 to 10 years and older. Object-control skills and selected displacements make up a 12-item test. Moving skills include running, quadrangling, licking, jumping, jumping, sliding, manipulation skills including knocking down, throwing at the upper hand side of the shoulder, rolling the object from the bottom of the shoulder. Rossiperoman's correlation test showed that the growth of fundamental patterns of object control with physical fitness components has a significant relationship (p≤0.05). Therefore, children who experienced more fundamental patterns of development were more likely to be physically fit.
