The influence of motor factors on fundamental movement skills : the differences between boys and girls

The impact of certain factors of motor abilities on the performance of some fundamental movement skills (leaping, jumping, rolling and running) in a sample of seven-year-old girls (N=58) and boys (N=42) were investigated during four measuring points (during and after basic gymnastic treatment). The results showed satisfactory metric characteristics (sensitivity and objectivity) for jumping, rolling and running (during and after treatment) for the group of boys and for jumping and running (after treatment) for the group of girls. Four dimensions (of the girls) and three dimensions (of the boys) were isolated by a factorial analysis of nine motor variables: (1) explosive strength and coordination, (2) frequency of movement and coordination in rhythm ; (3) flexibility and (4) static strength. The factors of explosive strength and coordination could be defined as the most integrated motor abilities in learning fundamental motor skills (especially jumping and running) for both genders. Based on the results of various studies, jumping and running show the highest metric and applicability standards which allow us to (a) diagnose the present status of the fundamental movement skills for seven-year old boys and girls ; (b) perform kinesiological treatment with high accuracy and appropriateness – apply jumping and running tests as a form of transitive assessment of any fundamental movement skills level. Accomplishing an autonomous learning level for jumping and running will directly developed a subject's explosive strength and coordination
