The Effects of Specific Exercise Program on Anthropometric Characteristics and Motor Abilities of Preschool Children

In order to determine the effects of specific exercise program on anthropometric characteristics and motor abilities of preschool children, a battery of eight anthropometric measures and 7 motor tests were applied. The current study was conducted on a sample of 60 preschoolers (31 in the experimenta...
