Abstract

[b]Aim of the work.[/b] The main task of this paper is to verify the effectiveness of commonly used indices of morphological age and its components in assessing of the degree of motor development of children.[b]Material and methods.[/b] Two groups of children were chosen to study based on comments of authors who indicate the influence of chronological age on the results of tests conditioned by coordination abilities. First group was formed by boys and girls, the pupils of two Wroclaw schools, where the recruitment for sport training was conducted, and applied motor tests were used mainly to evaluate the coordination capacity. The second group consisted of boys from school in Głuchołazy, training track and field tetrathlon, which competitions have been classified as conditional capacities. Both groups were subjected to three-year continuous study. The material including several forms of indices of biological maturity and their components, and the results of motor tests from initial and final research was analyzed statistically. Numerical characteristics and correlations were presented in six tables.[b]Conclusions.[/b] In motor tests conditioned mainly by coordination skills especially in girls, the chronological age as a factor of a development is more important than age due to somatic features. In the sphere of conditional motor activities its role is smaller, nevetheless in sets of tests comprising trials, where both types of motor abilities are manifested, use of the three-factor version of index seems more rational. Three components of indices make up the quotient index of biological maturity status (ISBM) in addition to its primary role as the development measure of biological advancement can be helpful in assessing the level of motor development of children.
