Outline of Final Research Achievements

The Movement Coordination is often considered a most important movement ability of Kids and Junior age. However, controversy regarding how to diagnose these ability and how to use in the physical education class unit still exits. The aim of this research was to examine the availability of the Movement Coordination Tests in the elementary school physical education class unit “Karada Tsukuri Undo (fundamental movement learning) in particular various and dexterous movement learning ”.
The findings of the research suggest that the Movement Coordination Tests can diagnose pupils movement coordination abilities. It can also be used for the elementary school physical education class unit “Karada Tsukuri Undo (fundamental movement learning) in particular various and dexterous movement learning ”.
How to use the Tests, Tests material and the table of standard values were opened to public on my personal Web Page.
