摘要：The aim of this study is to determine whether there is a statistically significant difference in motor abilities of boys and girls in the fifth and sixth grade. Discriminant analysis results showed a statistically significant difference between boys and girls in the fifth and sixth grade in motor abilities (p=0,00). The most signifiicant differences are observable in coordination and explosive strength in favor of boys (p=0.00) and flexibility in favor of girls (p=0.00). Based on the obtained results, it can be concluded that boys and girls differ in motor abilities at the age of 11. Boys are more dominant in the abilities that develop under the influence of physical exercise, while girls show much better results in flexibility. It can therefore be concluded that irregular exercise results in poorer development of motor abilities in girls than in boys.
