The main aim of this thesis is to analyse the differences in coordination among two to three years old girls and boys. With this goal in mind, we created three measurment methods: poligon 1, poligon 2 and stacking cubes. With poligons 1 and 2 we measured the body coordination, and with stacking cubes we measured hand – eye coordination.
The sample consisted of 40 children aged two and three, who once a week attend gymnastics for pre-school children at the Sports Society Športni Junak; 23 of them were girls and 17 were boys.
The measured data was processed with the statistical program SPSS. For the reliability analysis we used Cronach's coefficient alpha. For calculating the differences in coordination among the girls and the boys we used the t-test for independent samples. Although there were small differences between the two genders, they are not statistically significant.
We used the Pearson Correlation Coefficient to define the correlation between the tests and found that poligon 1 and poligon 2 are statistically correlated. No other tests were statistically correlated.
