The aim of this investigation was to study the relationships between physical activity, motor ability, and school readiness in 6-yr.-old children. In total, 294 healthy children from Tartu were studied (161 boys and 133 girls). The physical activity of children was reported by parents and teachers using the questionnaire of Harro. The motor ability of children was evaluated using various tests from the Eurofit test battery as well as the 3-min. endurance shuttle run test. The Controlled Drawing Observation rest was used as a predictor of school readiness and development of mental abilities. Indoor physical activities predicted 19-25% of total variance in motor scores for these preschool children. Motor ability tests, which demand children's total attention and concentration, appear related to the chosen measures of school readiness.

Proios M, Athanailidis I, Giannitsopoulou E. The impact of physical activities on the development of the females' character. J. Hum. Sport Exerc. Vol. 5, No. 3, pp. 485-494, 2010. Nowadays, the participation of females in exercise/ sport is unchallengeable. In addition, the established impacts of the above mentioned activities on females as well as on people in general are far too many. The present study, within the framework of a literature review, aims at the tracing of the impacts of participation in physical activities on the development of female character. The results of this review have revealed that physical activities affect some significant traits of personality, such as its pneumatic, moral and social qualities. The conclusion deriving from such a finding is that physical activities can constitute a means for the development of the females' character.
