Abstract

This study was conducted to evaluate motor
performance skills of the children between 6-10 ages. 87 students between 6-10
ages were included in the study. Physical condition parameters and body
composition measurements of the participants were noted. Pearson Correlation
Test was used for the analysis. According to the results, the average age is
8.00±0.988 years; the average height is 129.4±9.08 cm; the average weight is
29.7±8.27 kg. There is a statistically significant correlation between long
jump, right hand, left hand, back strength, 20 meters speed test, 1 minute
pull-up test, flamingo balance test and Body Fat Mass (BFM), Free Fat Mass
(FFM), Lean Muscle Mass (LMM), Body Mass Index (BMI) and Body Fat Percentage
(BFP) at the p<0.01 level. However, there isn’t a significant difference
between body composition and sit& reach test. At the end of our study, we found
that there is a significant correlation between body composition and motor
performance skills of the children.
