THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN BASIC MOTOR SKILLS AND DEFORMITY IN STUDENTS

Abstract

In this paper we refer to the definition by which motor skills are those human skills that are involved in resolving motor tasks, and that determine successful movement. The primary aims of the paper were to ascertain whether the level of physical deformity affects the results the participants show on the tests of basic motor skills, as well as whether the level of deformity differs between male and female population. The research sample included 299 students of the University of Sarajevo. The findings indicated that the level of deformity does not significantly affect the results obtained on the tests of basic motor skills, and that there is no difference in the level of deformity between the male and female participants.
