Description and Comparison ofMotor Proficiency for 10 and 11 Years Old Children of Ur

The purpose of this study was to describe and compare the motor proficiency for 10 and 11 years old children of Urmia. 360 children (180 boys & 180 girls) were selected from 4th and 5th grade male and female elementary school by Randomly Cluster sampling method. For evaluating motor development, we conducted standardized assessment of motor function, Bruininks-Oseretsky Test of Motor Proficiency (BOTMP). BOTMP scale has 46 items that measure 8 subscales. Reliability and Validity of this scale has been reported to be satisfactory in many previous studies. To compare groups according to sex, age and their interaction data were analyzed with Tow way ANOVA and Independent Sample t-test. Results showed that boys are significantly better than girls in gross motor skills and girls are significantly better than boys in fine motor skills and motor proficiency, respectively (pO.05).
