Abstract:
How important is the time a child spends doing physical activity and how does it affect the child's motor skills? Research results explain that children with the best coordination are also the most active, and that children with motor problems participate less in regular physical activities. The sample of respondents consisted of 40 students who were divided into two subsamples of 20 each. The choice of variables was made in accordance with the goal and problem in this research, and on the basis of which relevant indicators of differentiation between ages can be found, based on the investigated motor dimensions. By looking at the obtained parameters, a statistically significant difference was found in all coordination tests between seven-year-olds and nine-year-olds. while in the space of balance there were no statistically significant differences between the students of the tested samples aged 7 and 9. The obtained results are significant from the aspect of higher quality planning and programming of the content of elementary games that are implemented as part of physical education classes for this age group.
