Freedom from Anxiety in Relationship with the Level of Motor Skills in Children

Original language description

Problematics of feeling anxious during compulsory school attendance is considered as a part of executive functions. Connection between cognitive and motor development is lately widely researched worldwide. Based on the aim of the study was stated following question: Is there a relationship between the level of motor skills and freedom from anxiety in younger school children? The aim of the paper is to analyse the relationship between freedom from anxiety and the level of gross motor skills in children at primary school, as the issue of specific relationships between cognitive and motor development of children is currently a problem solved especially abroad. The research group consisted of 108 children aged 9,65 years. The level of gross motor skills was determined by the TGMD-2 test. Freedom from anxiety was assessed by the Piers-Harris Children’s Self-Concept Scale. The data were collected within the project IGA_PdF_2020_020. The relationship between the monitored variables was assessed by correlation coefficient, gender differences by Mann-Whitney test. Among the monitored variables, only a very weak negative dependency was found (rs = -0.10). Stronger relationship was found in girls (rs = -0.14) while boys dependency was only -0.04, but the difference was not significant (p=0,38). Significant difference between genders was found in the level of gross motor skills (p=0,00), where girls performed better than boys. In the Czech Republic is co-educated physical education at the first level of elementary schools. Demonstration of the relationship between motor skills and freedom from anxiety in the larger and more representative set could support the importance of the physical education process of younger school age children.
