Sažetak
The aim of this research was to determine the effect of two different metric protocols, the present standard and a new protocol with a video demonstration of the task, on reliability and homogeneity of motor skills assessment tests for the students in primary education. The sample of participants comprised ofstudentsin the third and fourth grades from four elementary schools in the urban area of Petrinja and Sisak in Croatia. The total number of students that participated was 327, consisting of 186 boys and 141 girls aged 10.5 years. The students were divided in two subsamples, based on the protocol applied. The sample of variables consisted of 4 motor skills assessment tests: Shuttle-run, Partial Curl-up, 90° Push-ups, Back-saver sit and reach.The results of metric characteristics of composite testing in the field of motor skills have shown a high level of reliability, homogeneity and sensitivity of tests after both protocols were applied. Based on the reliability coefficient, the test called 90°Push- ups can be used further by using the video demonstration protocol, with a few trials before the application, while the test called Partial Curlupdoes not allow the use and application of the test in this form and using this method. The research shows that, with correction of some tests, the new protocol with the video demonstration has better results of metric characteristics of tests compared to the standard protocol.
