Sažetak
The study was conducted with the aim of determining relations between visual-motor integration and coordination in children aged 4 to 7 years who were divided into two subsamples. Visual-motor integration of graphomotor type was assessed by the use of the Visual-Motor Integration Test (VMI Test), while coordination was measured by the use of the Backward Obstacle Course motor test. The obtained findings confirmed a statistically significant correlation between the observed dimensions at the level of motor manifestations in the subsample aged 4 to 6 years as well as in in the subsample aged 6 to 7 years. This implies the possibility of common mechanisms responsible for motor control of both fine motor skills and gross motor skills. Further research is suggested to identify possible neurological mechanisms underlying different motor skills.
