Abstract

Primary school students' motor abilities were often the subject of study in physical education, however, the fact is that there are very few studies that investigated the influence of residential status of examinees on their motor abilities. A theoretical and empirical study was conducted on the sample of 188 sixth and seventh grade female students (urban area = 98 students; rural area = 90 students). Results of canonical discriminative analysis of motor abilities have shown statistically significant differences among students of different residential status. Girls from rural area had better results in the majority of tests (10 out of 18), but that majority is not absolute. Based on these findings, it is a fair assumption that different living environments are the factors that contribute to dissimilarities of examinees' motor abilities.
