Abstract

Moderno doba obilježeno je velikim zdravstvenim problemima (gojaznosti i s njom povezane kronične bolesti) koji nastaju kao posljedica nepravilne prehrane te nedovoljno tjelesne aktivnosti u svakodnevnom životu. Upravo zbog toga važna je što ranija edukacija te provođenje testova motoričkih i funkcionalnih sposobnosti te praćenje indeksa tjelesne mase, omjera ospega struka i bokova (WHR), kožnih nabora ili nekih od parametara za procjenu stupnja uhranjenosti i raspodjele masnog tkiva. Mjerenja se provode u školama, suklano promjenama tjelesne visine i tjelesne mase kroz razvoj školske djece i adolescenata. U radu su praćene antropomterijske te motoričke i funkcionalne značajke djevojaka u dobi od 14 do 18 godina (n=63). Podaci su obrađeni deskriptivnom statistikom te korištenjem regresijskih modela. Regresijski modelu su pokazali kako je antropometrija u pozitivnoj korelaciji s motoričkim i funkcionalnim značajkama ispitanica. Navedeni rezultati su potvrda hipoteze kako pravilna prehrana utječe na motoričke i funkcionalne sposobnosti pojedinaca što je provjereno međudjelovanjem s antropometrijskim pokazateljima stupnja uhranjenosti i raspodjele masnog tkiva kao što su indeks tjelesne mase i WHR.

Abstract (english)

The modern age is characterized by major health issues (obesity and consequential chronic diseases) which arise as a consequence of an inadequate diet and insufficient daily physical activity. This emphasizes the importance of an early education and regular testing of motoric and functional skills along with tracking the body mass index, waist-hip ratio (WHR), skin folds or other parameters that can estimate nutritional status, and body fat distribution. Measurements presented in this work are conducted in schools, according to the changes of measurements and motoric and functional skills of girls aged 14 to 18 years (n=63). Data were analysed using descriptive statistics and regression models. Regression models showed the anthropometrics of the respondents The results confirm the hypothesis that proper nutrition affects motor and functional skills of individuals, which is verified through the interaction with anthropometric indicators of nutrition levels and the distribution of body fat such as the body mass index and the WHR.
