The sample of 707 examinees aged from 9 to 15 years (mean: 11.8; standard. deviation: 1.64), divided in 6 age categories per year, was monitored in terms of development of co-ordination in the critical, puberty period. Monitoring included two groups of examinees, which were classified in two subgroups by height. The test applied, even though manifesting high coefficients of correlation's product moment (sig. 0.000) was showed a difference in trend. This has led the authors to the conclusion that, even though the tests generally assessed co-ordination, each test had its own co-ordination's subspace. At the very end, the authors conclude that in this extremely rough period of a life of an individual, a linear growth of quality co-ordination of fine movements with shorter and taller examinees can be noticed. On the other hand, when testing co-ordination of the whole body, i.e. reorganization of a dynamic stereotype, this linear growth in the critical period is substantially disordered.
