Introduction Physical efficiency determines ability to undertake various every-day activities. The greater it is, the better a person’s quality of life and health becomes. Aim The aim of the study was the characterization of motor skills in primary school students from the 7th and 8th classes, and to compare individuals training volleyball with those who participated only in physical education classes. Material and methods The research material included 76 individuals, 41 of whom were from the training group and 35 from ordinary classes of the 7th and 8th classes of primary school. The method was the Physical Efficiency Index created by Zuchora, by means of which speed, jumping ability, arm strength, abdominal muscle strength, flexibility and stamina were evaluated. In addition, the students’ parents completed the author’s questionnaire about their own and their children’s physical activity and eating habits. Results and conclusion The training group obtained 21 points on average and the group that did not train volleyball – 17. Despite this difference, both classes qualified for an average good mark – in the volleyball classes, over 50% got good or very good marks, whereas in the ordinary classes, more than 50% received good or satisfactory marks. In the individual trials, statistically significant (α ≥ 0.05) differences were found in the jumping ability, arm strength and stamina. Students of sports classes demonstrate better physical efficiency and the biggest differences are visible in the area of stamina. Regular physical activity has a positive impact on the students’ efficiency and fitness. Keywords: primary school pupils, physical activity, physical efficiency, motor skills

The authors of this paper, which is a part of a more extensive research, provide an overview of anthropometric characteristics and motor skills in fourth-grade primary school students in Vranje and differences in these between boys and girls. The anthropometric characteristics included in the measurements were body height (Tv) and body weight (Tt), while the motor skills measured were the explosive leg power, explosive torso and shoulder power, speed, static (isometric) arm and shoulder strength, and flexibility (mobility).Body height was measured by a height meter, body weight by a weight scale, explosive leg power by a standing long jump (Sudm), explosive torso and shoulder power was measured by throwing a 2 kg medicine ball (Bm), speed was measured by a 30 m run from a high start (Tvs), static (isometric) arm and shoulder strength with pull-up endurance up to 120 seconds (Iuz) and flexibility (mobility) with standing hamstring stretch (Dpk). This research included 500 participants, fourth-grade primary school students in Vranje, both boys and girls. Statistical analysis provided us with descriptive data as well as with the differences between boys and girls in anthropometric and motor skill variables which were calculated using the t-test. The research results tell us that all the statistically significant differences are in favour of the boys. The same results that this research has provided can serve as a basis for further diagnostics efforts and  planning of physical education lessons. These findings have also shown us that it is necessary to identify reliable measuring instruments for monitoring and tracking the state and changes in the anthropometric characteristics of younger school age children.

Nowadays the research of motor skills points to the lack of efficiency of teaching physical education and its effects on the development of motor skills, especially among students of an early school age. The aim of this research was to determine the effects of the applied experimental and current programme of physical education on the motor skills of the first-grade primary school students. The experimental program was carried out on a sample of 185 primary school students (106 students in the experimental group and 79 students in the control group). To determine the effects of the experimental programme a multivariate analysis of covariance (MANCOVA) and univariate analysis of covariance (ANOVA) were applied. Both programmes have effects on the changes of motor skills of students, but the effects of the experimental programme were significantly higher (p = .000). The best effects were achieved in the development of repetitive and explosive strength and segmental velocity among the students of the experimental group. The purpose of the research is reflected in increasing the level of scientific information on the motor skills of students. It can help teachers to plan, program, implement and control the teaching process more rationally and optimally.

Factors Associated

The aim of this study was to identify the factors associated with school refusal behavior in primary school students. Student’s self-report and teacher’s measures were implemented; and students were recruited from 20 primary schools in six districts in Selangor, Malaysia. The survey was conducted at the end of school term in 2016, with a total of 915 students from Year 4 and Year 5 participating. The sample of students had been absent from school for more than 15% of school days in the current year. Pearson correlation shows a significant relationship between academic achievement and school satisfaction toward school refusal behavior. The findings of this study suggest that academic difficulties and dissatisfaction towards school environment could be the important risk factors for school refusal behavior. The present study underscores the importance of early detection and intervention as measures to reduce school refusal. Finally, the findings imply that the role of school factors should always be taken into account in connection with school refusal behaviour.
