摘要:The aim of our study was to compare the running performance of schoolchildren on three different surfaces (parquet floor, asphalt and grass) which are mostly used for physical education classes. The study sample consisted of 97 healthy schoolchildren (age 11±0.5 years) divided into two groups in relation to sex: 42 boys (group 1) and 45 girls (group 2). The speed was evaluated by two tests: the 30m sprint with a high start and a 3x10m agility run. The results indicate statistically significant differences in terms of running performance in relation to the surface for both groups. The best average results on both tests were achieved on the asphalt surface, while the weakest average results were determined for the 3x10m agility test in both groups on the parquet floor. The obtained results regarding the influence of different surfaces should be used to prevent injury and provide security for schoolchildren, and as a factor when testing motor skills in this age group
