- Introduction: The purpose of the study was to assess the levels of motor coordination among 11- and 12-year-old Slovak school-aged children and to determine differences in motor coordination levels between the Slovak and Portuguese school-based populations. Methods: To assess motor coordination, we administered the standardized KTK (Körperkoordinations für Kinder) test battery, which allows complex evaluation of coordination abilities. The level of parameters studied was expressed using mathematical and statistical characteristics of median (Mdn), arithmetic average (M) and standard deviation (SD). Statistically significant differences between boys and girls in parameters of motor coordination were determined at p<0.05 using the Mann-Whitney U test. Results: The results showed that eleven-year-old and twelve-year-old Slovak students showed higher levels of motor coordination than their age-matched counterparts. Conclusions: Slovak children achieved higher scores in the KTK subtests that their and Portuguese counterparts. data from this pilot study will be beneficial for future monitoring of motor coordination.
