Introduction Active children often choose after-school sport experiences, among which swimming and soccer are at the top of the list of most popular sports in several countries. Athletic skills are increased but little is known about the effects on global motor development. The purpose of our study was to analyze changes on global motor development after 5, 10 and 30 months of swimming and soccer practice [1—3]. Methods The study sample consisted of 35 preschool-aged boys (4.9 ± 0.5 years): 13 children had no involvement in organized sports programs; 11 children were swimmers at a beginner level; 11 children were soccer players at a beginner level. The ‘‘test of gross motor development 2’’ [3] was used to assess children’s fundamental movement skill competence (locomotion and object control skills) in three distinct phases: after five (T5), 10 (T10) and 30 (T30) months of accumulated sports practice (practising 2 times per week). Results Our results showed that the soccer participants had a higher (P < 0.05) global motor ratio (at T5 , T10 and T30 ) and standard scores for locomotion and object control (T10 and T30 ) than the swimming participants and non-participants. Both sport participant groups significantly improved (P < 0.05) their global motor ratio and the standard scores for locomotion and object control between T5 and T10 . Between (T10 —T30 ), the standard scores for control of objects significantly improved (P < 0.05) only for the swimming participants. In fact, the global motor ratio and the standard scores for object control significantly decreased (P < 0.05) between T10 and T30 for soccer participants. No significant changes (P > 0.05) were noted between (T5 —T10 ) and (T10 —T30 ) for non-participants. Conclusions These results suggest that sports practice during childhood seems to prompt motor development. Despite the improved motor skill competence of the soccer participants at (T5 —T10 ) and (T10 —T30 ), the swimmers showed an ongoing motor development particularly in object control skills.

Determining the motor skills differences among male students 10 and 12 years of age M. Malcev University ‘‘SS Curil and Methodius’’ Skopje, Macedonia Introduction The main goal of this research is the determination and of motor skills in a sample of students aged 10 and the differences in motor skills when they were 12. Motor skills in students are one of the basic assumptions of rational planning and development of the teaching process. Methods Sample: the total number of students sampled is 200. First measurement at 10 years (100) and the second measurement were at 12 years (100). Sample of variables 1) anthropological variables: height and weight. 2) motor abilities variables: sit-ups, tapping with a better hand, standing long jump, running 5 × 10 m, and forward bend on a bench. Method of data processing The central and dispersive statistical parameters were calculated for each motor variable: arithmetic mean; standard deviation; the assessment of the distribution of the results is tested by skewness; the homogeneity of the results is tested by kurtosis, minimal results; maximal result, analysis of correlation and t-test to determine the differences of the arithmetic means of the two measurements. Results By analyzing central and dispersive parameters of the motor abilities, we notice that the central and dispersive parameters, as general indicators of the motor abilities of the students and the calculated measurements of variability, indicate a relatively acceptable degree of homogenization of the distribution, i.e. it may be assumed that the individual parameters of the respondents are within the limits of the allowed values. There are also statistically significant differences noted in the first and second measurement, indicated by the results obtained with the t-test. Conclusions The survey established statistically significant differences in all variables that had been treated. Applying the obtained data can positively influence the planning and programming of the PE teaching process in the elementary education.

Introduction Motor knowledge is considered the basis for all complex movements, from daily physical activity to specific sports knowledge. Higher level of motor skills is associated with higher physical activity of children and with many health benefits, especially with a reduced risk of obesity.
