摘要:This study has been carried out on a sample of 512 girls and 548 boys who participated in “Olympic Festival of Kindergartens” in 2007. The children were, on average, six years of age. We analyzed the results in the following track & field events: 50-m sprint, standing long jump and softball distance throw. The aim of the study was to determine the gender differences in all of the observed events. For that purpose, we created a proposal for the evaluation of children's performance in each event. The proposal for evaluation, that has been estimated using frequency tables and charts, consists of marks and points arranged in ten clusters. It is important to stress that this is the first proposal for the evaluation of children's performance in track & field events. We think that our proposal could be used as a new method of performance evaluation in certain track & field competitions as well as in children's competitions in kindergartens as well as in schools.
