“…The effects poor motor skills on a child's success in meeting compulsory schooling is currently an issue. Based on some articles (Akshoomoff et al, 2018;Gärtner, et al, 2021;Rose, et al, 2012), which include in executive functions attention, processing speed, memory, working memory, inhibition, and shifting, we use this term synonymously to term cognitive abilities or skills, which includes fluid intelligence and abilities embedded in multiple overlapping theories of cognition (Alekseeva, 2021;Schneider & McGrew, 2018).…”

The aim of the research is to explore the relationship between the level of cognitive abilities and motor skills of children in younger school age. The research group consisted of 150 children (boys 77, girls 73) from the 1st stage of primary schools in the Czech Republic with an average age of 9.35 ± 0.61 years. The MABC-2 (Movement Assessment Battery for Children-2) test battery was chosen to determine the level of motor skills in children. Cognitive abilities with a focus on verbal, quantitative component and fluid intelligence were monitored through the Cognitive Ability Test (CAT). The research was assessed and approved by the Ethics Committee of the Faculty of Education, Palacký University in Olomouc. Data were obtained within the project IGA_PdF_2021_017. The obtained data indicate the relationship between some components of the motor skills level and the observed components of cognitive abilities (p ≤0.05). A closer examination of the issue can help in the specific development of interventions in the field of motor skills in order to support the cognitive functions of the child.
