SUMMARY

SUMMARYIntroduction. Therefore, the main aim of this dissertation is an assessment of the somatic and motor development of ten to twelve-year-old children from Polish families who live in London and a comparison of the results with the analogical measurements children live in Poland.Material and methods. The material of the research are the results of the measurements of 113 children of Polish origin who live in London and 151 children who live in Poland. The research was performed in the autumn of 2012.Chosen somatic features (body height, body mass, lean body mass – LBM, the percentage of fat in the body) and the level of motor skills (measured by the use of chosen tests of the European Physical Fitness Test – EUROFIT: running speed, abdomen muscles force, shoulders force, static force, spine flexibility) were analyzed.Results. There are significant differences between the body composition of children from Polish families who live in London and of those who live in Poland. Eleven and twelve-year-old children from London are characterized by a significantly higher percentage of fat in the total body mass than the children who live in Poland. Although children from London do not have a lower level of body height and mass than the children from Poland, they are characterized by a significantly lower level of motor skills, which was visible especially in case of speed, power endurance, explosive power and flexibility. STRESZCZENIEWstep.
