The aim of this study was to investigate the relationships between sprint, change of direction, and jumping parameters in primary school boys and girls participating in the multi-skill movement program. 10 girls (age: 10.87±0.70 years, height: 140.10±0.03 cm, body weight: 42.01±10.49 kg) and 10 boys (age: 10.37±0.46 years, height: 134.60±0.08 cm, body weight: 36.00±10.58 kg) volunteered in the study. To test the sprint speed; 5m, 10m, 20m sprint tests, to test change of direction performance; 505 Change of Direction Test, T Test, Pro Agility Test, and Hexagon Test, and lastly to test the jump performance; Counter Movement Jump Test and Triple leg-hop for distance test were applied. Mann Whitney U -Test and Spearman Correlation Test were used in the analysis of the data obtained in the study. When the data were examined, a statistically significant relationship was found between the 5m, 10m, and 20m sprint tests (p<0.05). In addition, a statistically significant relationship was found between T-Test and Triple leg-hop for distance test (p<0.05). However, no significant relationship was found between other parameters (p>0.05). As a result at the end of multi-skills training, regardless of gender differences, there was a relationship in some sprint and directional abilities in preadolescent children. It is suggested physical education teachers and sports scientists take this into consideration when making their plans.
