The purpose of this research was to compare the concentration variation between the sport talented children who have been applied with a sport program and the ordinary children who did not. The experiment group was composed of 59(male:32, female:27) sport talented children who were selected from the center of Busan University sport talent in April 2010. The control group was made up of 148 students who participated in 3 elementary schools located in Busan. Among these ordinary students 80 participants were finally used, as some of the students were excluded who were playing as athlete or studying in Science gifted program, FAIR concentration test sheet was used for this study, which was reformed for Korean version by Oh(2002). Covariance analysis was applied for using SAS 9.1 package, and the following conclusions were drawn. First, both the sport talented group and ordinary group of FAIR concentration's 3 subfactors were improved significantly after 8 months. Second, no difference between the sport talent group and ordinary group were found in the variations of post test of concentration's 3 subfactors. Especially there was no difference among groups in oneway-ANOVA using data of post test.

The purpose of this study was to investigate self-esteem item goodness-of-fit in sports talented children with socio-psychological aspect, which may be a basis of developing global sports leaders. Fifty children who were selected by 2010 sports talent identification program at Korea National Sport University participated in this study. All participants were asked to answer the questionnaire using Rogenberg (1965) self-esteem scale. Total 8 questions were used with 4 point Likert scale and high point stands for higher self-esteem status. Reliability of Cronbach's ${\alpha}$ was.785 in this study. Frequency analysis, descriptive statistics, and reliability analysis were conducted with SPSS 18.0. WINSTEPS 3.70 (Linacre, 2010) was used for calculating item goodness-of-fit and subject reliability, scale propriety, item goodness-of-fit and item level of difficulty, and level of difficulty were calculated. Statistical analysis showed results as follows. First, it was reported to be suitable for subject reliability in self-esteem as 1.01~1.03 and item reliability as 1.01~1.01. Second, 4 scale was suitable for scale propriety resulting from stage index judgment. Third, 2,7,8 and 3 question showed problems in item goodness-of-fit and item level of difficulty. Finally, scale propriety was reported to be inappropriate for considering sports talented children's ability distribution and scale level of difficulty.

Sport talent development center have been operating in order to support sports gifted children of the training in the early finding and selecting potential elementary school students for sports. For this purpose, elementary students in grades 2~6 are selected through basal fitness and physique test. However qualitative assessment of the student was not in progress, but depending on current physique and fitness totally sports talented children were selected. Therefore this study was to develop a tool to determine giftedness based on the observation method to assess the athletic potential of gifted children based on Yoon's competition intelligence(2011). For this purpose of study, sub-factors were extracted through expert consultations. Based on the extracted sub-factors, such as training intelligence, learning ability practical intelligence were extracted for practical intelligence, and finally 16 evaluation questions were proposed to evaluate sports talented children. Proposed questions will be helpful for quality evaluation of sports gifted children, as well as using as a method for discovering sports gifted children.

This study aims to analyse difference in biomechanical factors between dominant legs and recessive ones according to muscular imbalance during drop landing targeting talented children in sports. The subjects of the study were ten primary students who are attending to Sports Program for Talented Children organized by C university (age: $12.28{\pm}0.70$ year, height: $1.52{\pm}0.11$ m, and weight: $45.2{\pm}4.9$ kg). Strength legs were classified into dominant side and strengthless legs were classified into non-dominant legs. For three-dimensional analyses of the data collected, 6 video cameras(MotionMaster200, Visol, Korea) were used. To analyse ground reaction force, two force platforms(AMTI ORG-6, MA) were used and to analyse electromyograghy a 8-channeled wireless Noraxon Myoresearch made in USA was used at 1000 Hz for sampling. As a result, it was discovered that the dominants legs controlled knee bending motions more stably than strengthless legs as the maximum vertical ground reaction force was significantly high in dominant legs(p<.05), and joint moment of knee joints of the dominant legs was high(p<.05). Therefore, this study suggested that injury prevention program focusing on muscular balance as well as the existing sports programs for talented children should be developed based on results of the study and it is expected that the results will be useful for improvement of sports programs for talented children.

The purpose of this study was to verify the validity of the developed evaluation method for competition intelligence of sport talented children of of Kim et al.(2015). For this purpose, total 3 times of observation by sports leaders were accomplished for evaluation of competition intelligence. After finishing final observation, the correlation between the sub-factors(practice intelligence, learning intelligence, and training intelligence) and gifted students' physical fitness and KOSTASS were examined. First, as the reliability, the correlations between leaders' observation results were significantly higher than 0.8 in all sub-factors. Second, all sub-factors of competition intelligence showed significant positive correlation with in standing jump, 50m dash and side step test improvement(p<.05). Third, all sub-factors showed no significant correlation with KOSTASS(p>.05). These results showed that the evaluation tool by Kim et al.(2015) didn't not fully reflect the improvement level of basic physical fitness factors of the gifted students. However, the results of correlation between physical fitness factors requiring technical learning process showed that the gymnastic gauging tools included learning process and task acquisition level.

The purpose of this study was to examine the comparison of physique with physical fitness according to TBS (Talented-Educational in Sport) program by H University in 2009-2011. For this study, 668 elementary students (2009: 297, 2010: 194, 2011: 177 or 1st: 506, 2nd: 104, 3rd: 58) were collected who aged 7 to 13 living in Seoul and Gyeonggi area. The subjects were measured on physique variables (5) and physical fitness variables (7). Mean comparisons (ANOVA) were conducted for each gender in order to compare the mean differences among attendance number. For association analysis, Pearson correlation coefficient was used to find association between the physique and physical fitness variables. Some physical fitness variables (sit up, half squat jump, side step, standing long jump, flexibility in male children; sit up, half squat jump, side step in female children) increased significantly in the attendance number but the physique variables did not. The results show that TES program was effective on the physical fitness variables (muscle endurance & agility) in sports talent children.
