Abstract

V originále

The concept of the integrated development has served as the foundation of a number of theories of child intellectual and motor development. The learning of motor skills requires total physical and intellectual involvement for greatest efficiency. Purpose in this study was to establish the relation among motor competence and academic achievement. Physical Fitness Tests (PFT) items scores were transformed into standardized z-score, and have not established significant correlation with other variables within total sample of participants. However, when separate analysis were conducted to examine differences between boys and girls, the relationship was evident in girls, but not in boys. General Conclusion, derived from results of this study do not support constant link between PET variables and common indices of School success. Continued research is needed to gain more causal understanding of the relationship between physical fitness and cognition in children with intellectual disabilities.
