摘要:The assessment of motor abilities by using a battery of 7 motor tests along with assessment of the intellectual abilities by Raven’s colored progressive matrices was carried out on a sample of 976 boys and girls, 7 to 10 years of age, elementary school children from Vojvodina. The univariate and multivariate analysis of variance showed that there are statistically significant gender differences in the individual variables and the entire system of applied motor variables alike. There are no statistically significant gender-related differences in the entire age group examined by Raven’s colored progressive matrices. After conducting a factor analysis in all age groups, two significant factors were found: the first one which was the general motor ability factor and the second one which had significant projections on the variable for intelligence assessment, whilst in certain age groups it was related to motor variables for the assessment of flexibility and speed of alternative movements. Factors of inter-correlation matrices showed high and positive correlations of obtained factors in all age groups of both genders.
