Resumo(s)
The purpose of this study was: (1) to analyse longitudinally the changes in body coordination (BC) in children during 3 years (6 to a 9 years old); and to analyse the stability of BC.
Methods: Sample size comprises 142 girls (6.37±0.31 years old at the first evaluation and 8.42±0.35 at the third), and 143 boys (6.44±0.29 years old at the first evaluation and 8.34±0.39 at the third). BC was evaluated according to the body coordination test battery (KörperkoordinationsTest für Kinder) developed by Kiphard and Schilling (1974). The battery comprises four tests: backward
balance (BB), jumping sideways (JS), hopping on one leg (HL), and shifting platforms (SP), from the 4 tests it is obtain a motor quotient (MQ) that permit the classification of children BC. A mixed ANOVA was used to analyze the changes along the 3 years and the differences between boys and girls. Intra-class correlation coefficient was used to analyze the stability in the all items test battery.
