Integration of coordination into the morphological motorsystem in male children aged 7-11 years

The study objective was to analyze the integration of psychomotor coordination into other dimensions evaluated. Four morphologic variables and 7 motor variables were assesed in a sample of 2205 male children (subdivided into 4 groups) aged 7-11 years, elementary school first to fourth graders from the Primorje-Gorski Kotar Country, Republic of Croatia. Relations between the set of morphologic-motor variables and the coordination variable as a criterion were analyzed. Data were processed by use of regression analysis. Study results clearly indicated the values of the criterion variable to rise and the criterion prediction using the set of variables to improve with age. Explosive strength, movement frequency and static strength were the best positive criterion predictors, whereas body weight at age 7-10, and skeletal longitudinality and subcutaneous adipose tissue at age 10-11 were the best negativ criterion predictors. Also, developmental characteristics of coordination were found to be a major determinant on programming the work in kinesiologic education of elementary school children.
