GENDER BASED MOTOR CONDITIONALITY OF FUDAMENTAL MOVEMENT SKILLS

This research was conducted in order to establish possible relationships between fundamental movement skills performance and motor proficiency of school children. 86 children were analyzed, including 30 boys and 56 girls (average age 9.09  1.75 years). Children's fundamental movement skills were assessed with FMS- Polygon. The Bruininks-Oseretsky Test of Motor Proficiency – Second Edition (BOT-2) was used to assess motor proficiency. Correlation between fundamental movement skills and children's motor proficiency was confirmed by using Pearson's correlation coefficient with p  .05. The results of the research show that fundamental movement skills performance in school children is significantly related to motor performance.
