Abstract
In connection with the Sazka Olympic multi-event competition there was implemented nationwide testing of more than 40,000 children at the age of 6-15 years in the school year 2014/2015. Physical fitness was assessed through 8 motor tests and somatic characteristics with 2 indicators (body height and weight).
Results were analyzed in three main areas: 1. Comparison of fitness development-boys vs. girls 2.
Comparison of small and large settlements (less than 20,000 vs. above 50,000) 3. Comparison of regions In the first area girls exceed boys more in the following events: stork stand (balance) and a sit and reach (flexibility), boys exceed girls in the other abilities: T-Run (agility), 60 m run (speed), basketball throw (explosive power), long jump (explosive power) 500/1000 m run (endurance).
For power endurance-truncated situps in the first grade girls exceed boys and in the second grade the ratio is reversed. In the second area the level of fitness by children living in the big cities was significantly higher in comparison with children from the small municipalities.
In the third area we found significant differences in fitness between individual country regions.
