Abstract

Aim. Evaluation of influence of calendar age and peak height velocity (PHV) on kinetics and developmental dynamics of four basic components of motor co-ordination. Material and method. On the basis of continuous research on 193 girls in the 8-15 age range their development was evaluated. The contribution of time and PHV factors in the differentiation of the development and level of static balance, spatial orientation, frequency of movements and simple reaction time were determined by means of ANOVA with repeated measurements.Results and discussion. In general, the obtained results ruled out the influence of PHV on the formation of the tested parameters related to calendar age, as had been suggested by other authors. No modifying influence of co-variates was also found (flexibility, muscular strength, running endurance) on the level and direction of changes in the studied motor abilities. Conclusion. Younger schoolgirls during early puberty are especially susceptible to the development of motor co-ordination. The physical education programs should respect those needs.
