Quantitative differences in motor abilities and basic anthropometrics characteristics of boys and girls from fourth grade of primary school
In order to determine the quantitative differences in motor abilities and basic anthropometric characteristics by gender, we were testing 123 students of the primary school (fourth grade, 10,5 years old). Testing was applied technique of research. Two basic anthropometric measures and 14 motor tests...
