GENDER DIFFERENCES IN MOTOR ABILITY OF CHILDREN.

The aim of the present study was to evaluate the motor ability in respect of gender differences which age groups was 10, 11 and 12 years. The number of subjects for each group was 300 boys and 300 girls for any age group. For collecting data or subjects systematic random sampling method were followed. The criterion measured on subjects which parameter was speed, agility, power, coordination, balance and simple reaction time. The mean ± SD, the comparative t-test of motor ability variables were calculated for the present study in respect of gender differences. Significant (P<0.05) in gender differences were found in six motor ability variables as F-value was greater than the tabulated value (F0.051, 588=3.86). On the basis of findings the researchers were concluded that male children had better ability in all the six motor ability variables than the female children.
