In the thesis, we analyzed the effectiveness of a 4-week intervention movement program on the
development of balance and coordination in 1‒2 year old children. 28 children participated in
the research, of which 14 were in the experimental group and 14 were in the control group.
Both groups were tested twice, with the same TKR test protocol, which contained 5 tasks of
balance and coordination, and the child was assessed with a qualitative five-point assessment.
Before starting the intervention program, both groups were tested. Then, the experimental group
received 21 movement activities spread over 4 weeks in the month while the control group did
not receive these activities. After completion, both groups were retested with the same TKR test
protocol. We found that the experimental group was more successful at the second testing,
which we confirmed with the help of testing, from which we understood that the progress of
the experimental group was higher than the progress of the control group. With this, we can
prove that the program was successful, which confirms our hypothesis that with appropriate
daily physical activity, a child can successfully progress in motor development.
