The sample of 138 healthy children was measured by selected motor tests that cover the following hypothetical dimensions of motor abilities: movement coordination, speed, strength and balance. Gender differences in individual motor tests were testing using the Student't t-test for independent samples. Statisticaly significant gender differences were observed in backward walkig through hoops, polygon backwards, standing broad jump, triple jump, and the flamingo balance test on a block lying longitudinally. The established gender diferences in performance of the selected motor tests may be due to different reasons. As this research did not deal with these reasons in greater detail, the explanation of the obtained results has to take into consideration the previous findings relating to innate, biological explanation as well as explanations of various stimuli from the environment for motor and sporting activities, which are reflected in the social impact and/or different upbringing of girls and boys. It can be concluded that main gender differences in motor performance in 6.5 years old children existed in coordination and strength tests, while in balance and speed the differences were not significantTEXTznanstveno časopisjejournalsSlovenian National E-content AggregatorNational and University Library of SloveniaUniverza v Ljubljani, Fakulteta za šport
