| description | Meta-analysis carried out for the purposes of investigating motor abilities and morphological characteristics showed differences between boys and girls ages 6 and 7 years old. The analyses were carried out for 5 anthropometric and 7 motor variables, and the sample taken for analysis was 1000 respondents for each variable respectively. The results showed that boys were taller and heavier and the girls had more body fat. The investigation of motor skills showed that boys are better at the variables used to assess coordination in young children (Obstacle course backwards, 20-m dash and Standing long jump), while girls achieved better results in the variable which is used for estimating flexibility (Standing bend forward). In other motor variables there were significant differences between boys and girls, which confirms the results of previous studies of the quantitative gender-related differences and points to possible solutions for an improvement of coordination in girls and flexibility in boys. |
