Connection between balance and coordination in preschool children

The aim of the research is to determine if there is a correlation between balance and coordination in children of preschool age. The study was conducted on appropriate sample of 92 preschool children, of whom 49 boys and 43 girls. The results indicate that there is a correlation between balance and coordination achieved in all the tests except in the test of standing on the bench with two legs one in front of the other and in the test of walking on all fours. The differences by gender and by additional sports activity are significant only in the test of running between stands. Boys have better coordination than girls. Children who do additional sports activities have better coordination than children who do not participate in additional sports activities. Considering the results obtained, it can be concluded that the balance is related to the coordination, so the use of kinesiological operators for the development of balance could indirectly affect better results in tests for evaluation of coordination and vice versa.
