In this study, it was aimed to determine
the effect of Artvin region and Antep region folk dance program applied for 12
weeks on some physical fitness parameters on children at primary education
level. The study aimed to examine the development of some of the motoric
characteristics of folk dance studies of different regions applied in the 9-10
year old children two days a week. In Gaziantep region, 12
girls and 7 boys (Xage=10±0.61), totally 19 children, and Artvin
region as 10 girls and 5 boys (Xage=10), totally 15 children
participated in the study. Flexibility, Vertical Jumping, Stopping Long Jump,
20 m Sprint test values were evaluated before (pre-test) and end (test) 12 week
application. For the analysis of the data, Wilcoxon t
test was used in non-paramatic tests in SPSS 20 package program. There
were significant differences in sit-in, vertical jump (p<0.05), stopping long-jump,
and 20-meter sprint values while the Artvin group did not show any difference
in weight values (p<0.05).
In the Antep region, there were significant differences
in weight, sit-reach, vertical jumping and 20 meters sprint values while the
practice group did not show any difference in stopping long jump values
(p<0.05). As a result, it has been observed that
Artvin region and Antep region folk dances conducted for 12 weeks cause some
physical values of children to develop and that the orientation of primary
school children to folk dances has a positive and important effect for
children.
