Abstract

In this study, we focus on the relationship between the socioeconomic status (SES) of children and the level of their motor development related to motor competencies. Various research findings confirm the predominantly significant influence of the SES of the family or the environment where the child comes from, to the level of motor development evaluated on the basis of the results achieved in various motor tests. In this research we focused on primary school children, who participated in the MOBAK tests related to basic motor competencies and on the SES, which was determined by an online questionnaire for the parents. Despite the fact that we did not statistically confirm the relationship between the level of basic motor competencies and SES, the results indicate the tendency that children with higher SES perform better in object-movement and self-movement and are in line with the results of previous studies. This relationship should be respected and taken into account when designing physical and sports education lessons with regard to the sustainability of basic motor competencies development.
