Associations between morphological characteristics, motor abilities and preparedness for school in preschool girls
Links between morphological characteristics (MC), motor abilities (MA) and psychological preparedness (PP) for school in preschool aged girls, could help in improving the quality of educational work for their teachers. The main goal of the study was to determine the correlation between three sets of data: MA, MC and PP. The randomized sample of preschool girls (N=127), aged 6-7, was examined. Fourteen MCs were measured. To measure MAs of the participants, 18 composite motor tests are adjusted for preschool children, three for each motor dimension: coordination, flexibility, strength, agility, accuracy and balance. Test for School Preparedness (TSS) with five subtests was used in estimating PP. The correlations between MC, MA and PP at preschool girls were determined by the use of both univariate and canonical correlations. The results revealed that all canonical correlations were statistically significant: between MC and MA, MA and PP, as well as MC and PP. However, in spite of its significance, canonical correlation is the lowest between MC and PP. One of the hypothesis in explaining this relationship could be the speed of maturity, which is different in preschool girls and boys.
