摘要：The purpose of this study was to determine the physicalactivity level (PAL) and motor skill (MS) of children aged 8-10 years and investigatethe relationship between MS, PAL and Body Mass Index (BMI). 126 female and 119 male voluntary children aged 8-10years participated in the study. PAL for the subjects who participatedin the study was determined by the Physical Activity Questionnaire for OlderChildren (PAQ-C), Gross Motor Skills (GMS) as the total value of object control(OC) and loco-motor skills (LOCO) was determined via Test of Gross Motor Development (TGMD-2), and the BMI ofthe subjects was determined by meansof the formula; the weight kg is divided by the height in square meter [weight(kg)/height (m2)]. Pearson CorrelationAnalysis was used to determine the relationships among PAL, BMI and MS. It wasfound that there was a negative relationship between female subjects’ BMI andMS. As PAL levels of male subjects increase, LOCO skills also increase, whereasas the PAL of female subjects increases, their OC skills increase. Moreover,the differences between the genders may have an effect on the types ofactivities in which children participate. Considering that MSs have playedsignificant roles upon physical structure and psychological mood of theindividuals throughout their childhood and the rest of their life. As aconclusion, it is likely to mention that in order to develop both MS and PAL, guidingchildren towards physical activity is significant.
