“…Some studies stated that there were genders differences (Karaduman, 2004;Junaid & Fellowes, 2006), others revealed that there was no difference (Plimpton & Regimbal, 1992;Junaid & Fellowes, 2006;Holm & Vøllestad, 2008;Janković, 2014;Jiang et al, 2018). In our study, boys had better scores in handeye coordination, attention and motor skills while girls had better scores in the balance test.…”

“…Previous literature has found that in children younger than 10 years, there was no gender difference in terms of physical performance (Thomas & French, 1995;Erikoğlu et al, 2009), and attention (Karaduman, 2004) while some studies indicated that there was a difference in balance (Junaid, & Fellowes, 2006;Holm, & Vøllestad, 2008;Jiang et al, 2018), other motor abilities (Plimpton, & Regimbal, 1992;Janković, 2014).…”

The purpose of the present study was to examine the hand-eye coordination, attention, balance and motor skill differences in school children aged 9-10 in terms of gender. A total of 38 children, 21 boys with an average age of 9.9 ± 0.41 years and 17 girls with a mean age of 9.9 ± 0.26 years, participated in the study. Participants performed Two-Arm Coordination Test for hand-eye coordination, Cognitrone for attention, Flamingo-balance test for balance and ball throw test for motor skills. Statistical analyses revealed no significant differences in hand eye-coordination overall scores between boys and girls (p>.05). In attention overall scores, boys had higher scores than girls, but this difference was not statistically significant (p>.05). The balance test scores also revealed no significant difference between girls and boys (p>.05).Boys' motor skill test scores were higher than that of the girls but again this difference was not statistically significant (t=1.20, p=.24). As a result, it can be said that there is no gender difference in hand-eye coordination, attention, balance and motor skill variables among 9-10-year-old children. Plans can be made with mixed groups in the work to be done on this age group. It is thought that concerted coordination, balance, attention and motor skills training may have a positive effect on this age group in both genders.

The objective of this paper is to examine the frequency of nutritional status and the relations between anthropometric characteristics and motor skills of the first-grade elementary schools girls from Valjevo. A battery of 16 anthropometric measurements and 9 motor tests was conducted on the pertinent sample (N = 332) of seven-year-old girls. Data were analyzed using common measures of central tendency, measures of variability and canonical correlation analysis. Based on the measured body mass index, 75% of participants have normal body mass, 21% has increased body mass, and 4% is overweight. The results showed that in the group of participants with normal body mass there is no significant connection between two systems of variables (morphological characteristics and motor skills). Data from the group of overweight participants show that the two statistically relevant correlations were extracted in the morpho-motoric space and were interpreted as canonical functions: (1) circular dimensionality of the skeleton and body mass, and explosive strength and (2) subcutaneous fatty tissue and segmented run and running speed. Canonical factors indicate that the greater the size of chest, thigh, shin and body mass, the lower are the results of the composite motor tests (plyometric jump, forward lean-backward lean-throw, long jump and standing jump), that is the girls who had higher values of back skinfold, stomach skinfold, thigh skinfold and shin skinfold, had worse result realization of motor tasks (hand-tapping, foot-tapping and running 5 x 10 m). Empirical data of the research on the isolated canonical structure are relevant from the theoretical point of view, but they also have relevant implications for identifying increased level of nutritional status and the advancement of physical education in elementary school education.
