Popis: The aim of this paper is to determine the effects of acrobatic elements on changes in morphological characteristics in children who were experimentally treated. The sample consists of elementary school children from Kosovska Mitrovica N = 52, who regularly attend physical education classes and additional acrobatics trainings three times a week for the implementation of acrobatics in additional classes of physical education. The variables used to assess the circular dimensions and body mass are: Upper arm circumference expressed in cm (AONDL), calf circumference expressed in cm (AOPTK), chest circumference expressed in cm AOGRK, body weight expressed in kg (AMAST). The variables used to estimate the subcutaneous fat tissue are: Upper-arm skinfold expressed in mm (ANNDL), calf skinfold expressed in mm (ANPTK), Abdominal skinfold expressed in mm ANTRB. A t-test was used to determine statistically significant differences in variables (ANNDL p=.006), (ANPTK p=.005), (ANTRB p=.008). The obtained results can contribute to the rationalization of regular and additional teaching of physical education for the optimal planning and control of work.
