摘要：The purpose of this study was to determine the effects of an experimental treatment on morphological characteristics as well as basic and specific motor abilities of young karate trainees. 12 morphological, 12 basic motor variables and 5 specific motor variables were applied on 82 boys aged 10-12 years. There were statistically significant differences in morphological characteristics at p<.001. The greatest effects were seen for skin folds, which were significantly lower after treatment. Significant differences were also found for most motor skills at p<.001 (for 9 variables; for one at p<.05). However, no differences were determined in foot tapping and balancing on one foot on a balance beam. The results showed that quite satisfactory effects were achieved, particularly in those abilities with no genetic limitations, which can be considered a significant contribution to sport science and theory of sport and sports training.
