THE INFLUENCE OF THE CURRICULUM IN PHYSICAL EDUCATION ON MORPHOLOGICAL CHARACTERISTICS OF STUDENTS

The consequences of physical inactivity are numerous, but the most common is obesity, which in the later period can cause serious health problems. Only regular physical activity can prepare students to withstand the efforts that await them in everyday life and build a healthy, creative and happy personality. The purpose of this study was to determine the effects of the current physical education curriculum on morphological characteristics of first grade primary school male students. 79 male students from the primary school were tested for the purpose of this research. 13 metrical instruments were used for the assessment of their morphological characteristics of (body height, total arm length, leg length, biacromial diameter, biiliocristal diameter, chest circumference, circumference of the stretched upper arm, triceps skin fold, subscapular skin fold, abdomen skin fold and body mass). The final measuring was carried out after one year of physical exercise, and the obtained results were compared with the results of the initial measuring. The significance of differences was obtained using student's t-test at the significance level of 0.05% and boundary value of t = 1.96. On the basis of the results, it can be concluded that the program of physical education had no significant effects on the changes of morphological characteristics.
