Abstract

The research was conducted on a sample of 168 children of 4th grade of a primary school, divided into two subsamples of 91 participants from urban areas and 77 participants from rural areas, divided by gender. There was conducted the measurement of 8 anthropometric and 7 motoric measurements, and all with the aim of determining the differences in the motoric space after partialisation of the morphological characteristics. Quantitative differences suggested that there were statistically significant differences between the participants in urban and rural areas in terms of motoric abilities at the multivariate level (F=6.41). It can be concluded that those differences exist in the variable for assessment of structuring of movement Polygon backward in favor of the participants from the rural area and the variable Running 20 m from a standing start in favor of the participants from the urban area. In the subsample of boys there were found statistically significant differences at the multivariate level at the value of (F=8.22). With individual observation of the motoric variables it can be concluded that those differences are in the variables: Polygon backward in favor of the boys from the rural area. In the subsample of girls, there are also statistically significant differences in terms of the motoric abilities atthe value of (F=2.53). With individual observation of the motoric variablesit can be concluded that those differences are in the variables: Standing long jump and the variable Running 20 m from a standing start in favor of the girls from the urban area.
