The Relative Age Effect (RAE) is phenomenon that strongly influences youth sport development. The RAE refers to a disproportionately high percentage of athletes born early in the calendar selection year. Number of studies, especially in team sports, has proved this fact. However, there is still a lack of studies in individual sports, such as swimming, which makes it impossible to have a sufficient understanding of the RAE problem in a given sport. The aim of our study was to verify RAE in young elite swimmers (n = 202) who participated in Czech Republic U12 Championships (1) in male and female samples (2) according to swimming disciplines and distances...

The aim of this contribution is to find out the incidence of motor sytem functional disorders in children who have missed crawling on all fours and to compare them with children who have not missed this phase. The research sample was formed by first grade elementary school pupils (n = 38) with a decimal age (6,59 ± 0,09). 19 of the probands formed a set with the missing motor development phase of crawling on all fours ( E1) and 19 did not omit this phase (E2.) We evaluated the muscle imbalance using standardised tests. There were some significant differences recorded related to m. iliopsoas and lower fixators of spatulas in muscke imbalance...

Rhythmic gymnastics (RG) is a form of music-movement education combined with dance education and manipulation od equipment. It cultivates students in terms movement, aesthetic, cultural and social aspects. Research results show that RG is rarely included in teaching at schools. The reason is mainly the use of the traditional form of RG teaching and the insufficient preparation of teachers for teaching exercises closely connected with music.That´s why, in the preparation of future teachers at UK FTVS, we verified in the subject RG and Didactics of gymnastics an innovative teaching method that accentuates selected components of RG education. We...
