The study, which was supported by the grant project VEGA 1/0625/16 “The effect of physical activities on the development of motor abilities in integrated children with behavior disorders”, deals with the effects of exercise programs on the development of children’s motor abilities. The purpose of the study was to assess the levels of coordination abilities among nine and ten years old children by administering the KTK standardized test battery and to determine the relationship between their somatic parameters...

The study was supported from the grant project VEGA 1/0625/16 “The effect of physical activities on the development of motor abilities in integrated children with behavior disorders”. We have extended knowledge about motor coordination of 7 and 8 years old children by determining correlations between somatic parameters and total motor coordination expressed as the converted MQ scores. The somatic parameters measured included body weight, body height, and BMI. To determine the levels of motor coordination, chil...

There has been an increasing interest in studying associations among physical fitness, motor coordination and physical parameters in early childhood over the past decades. Available research data on the relationship between childhood obesity and motor competence at early ages remains rather inconclusive. The aim of the study was to analyze the association between physical fitness, motor competence indicators and somatic parameters in primary school-aged children. Data were collected from 213 prepubertal children. ...
