| Abstract | The current study was conducted on a sample of 302 participants, divided into two sub-samples: 150 boys and 152 girls, aged 10 and 11, to determine gender differences in morphological characteristics and motor skills, as well as their relations to the abovementioned space test for assessing agility. The battery of tests prescribed by the Committee for the Development of Sport of the Council of Europe was used. By applying a multivariate (MANOVA) analysis of variance for the two genders, differences in the morphological characteristics (F=2.544; P=0.006) and motor performance (F=15.451; P=0.000) were found. At the univariate level, the differences were manifested in volume and body mass, muscle strength of the knee extensors, wrist flexor muscle strength, static strength of the arms and shoulders, repetitive force of the upper body and tests for the assessment of agility, all in favor of the boys. The research findings also indicate that the relationship between morphological characteristics and the test for assessing agility indicate a statistically significant relation only in the case of the girls. In addition, the relationship between the motor skills on the test for the assessment of agility was established both in boys and in girls. Indicated gender differences suggest the need for additional work with girls, and relationships indicate the possibility of planning the transformation process. |
