description Body composition represents an important component of motor skills and health among children. According to studies an excess of adipose tiss ue can contribute to the decrease in performance when it comes to sprinting, endurance running, jump tests or several other sports games. The goal of this study is to determine the motor skills and the body composition of middle school students from Bihor – Hajdú - Bihar Euroregion and to present the results of the motor tests separately for subjects with a normal percent of adipose tissue and for subjects with an excess of adipose tissue. The study included 934 subjects aged 10 - 15, and it used the anthropometric method to determine height and weight, and the bioelectrical impedance analysis to determine the percent of adipose tissue. Motor skills were determined using 9 motor tests of the Eurofit Test Battery. The results of the measurements were statistically processed with the SPSS software. The classification of the body mass index and of the percent of adipose tissue was performed based on orientative standard values taking into consideration the subjects’ age and gender. The mean values of the motor tests were calculated separately for subjects with a normal percent of adipose tissue and for subjects with an excess of adipose tissue. Out of the total sample group 21.5% had their percent of adipose tissue below the normal values (8.8% BH; 12.7% HB); 49.9% had normal values (27.3% BH; 22.6% HB) and 28.6% (girls=117; boys=150) had an excess of adipose tissue or were obese (14.67% BH; 13.92% HB). There is a significant relation between body mass index and the percent of adipose tissue (r = 0.781, p < 0.001, CI = 95%).Students with normal percent of adipose tissue obtained better results than those with an excess of adipose tissue at seven (girls) –eight (boys) motor tests.
