Sport Mont 2012, X(34-35-36), 94-99
According to many authors who have studied the relations of cognitive and
motor skills (Ismail, Madić), there is a relationship between these two anthropological
spaces. Motor skill is related with cognitive factor, especially in these tasks which have
unusual rhythmic structure where speed and accuracy of performance is needed. As
many test tasks for evaluation of coordination are designed in exactly the same
manner, it may be assumed that there is a relation with cognitive skills of students
performing these exercises. Relations between cognitive skills and coordination in
rhythm are evaluated on the sample of 217 students of the Faculty of Sport and
Physical Education in Novi Sad. For evaluation of cognitive skills, we have used the
battery of tests KOG 3 (Wolf, Momirović & Džamonja, 1992). For coordination in
rhythm, we have used the following tests: tapping on horizontal plates, tapping on
plates in three plane surfaces, and tapping with hands and feet.(Metikoš et al.,
1989).Using regression analysis, we have found the relationship between these two
anthropological spaces. cognitive skills, coordination in rhythm, motor skills
