摘要：The aim of this study is to determine the differences in functional abilities among preschool children who are involved in additional exercise programs and those children who are not, and to identify the differences between boys and girls in the expression of aerobic capacity. The factor analysis of variance for the Polygon3 minutes test showed that respondents differ significantly with respect to age, gender, group, and that there is an interaction of gender and group. Thus, it can be concluded that gender and group significantly affect the development of functional skills. In doing so, the boys score better than girls, and children from the experimental group have more developed functional abilities than children attending the regular kindergarten program. These differences are more pronounced in boys, while boys in the experimental group achieve higher scores in both age categories, and girls only at the age of 6.
