Motor performance as a multidimensional concept cannot be defined and characterized through a single motor ability. Multidimensionality of the structural model of motor abilities was, however, initially formulated for adult population and mechanically transformed for child population. The purpose of the study is to determine a factor structure of motor and somatic indicators in primary school children. A sample of 436 children aged 7 to 10 years, of which were 222 girls and 214 boys, performed physical fitness tes...

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...
