EXAMINING THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN THE MOTOR AND PSYCHIC SKILLS FOR PERFORMANCE AMONG HIGH SCHOOL STUDENTS

Abstract

The aim of my research was to show and analyse the relationship between motor and psychic skills, how they connect to each other and how they influence performance. Can a student with better conditional and coordination abilities achieve better performance in school? Is there correlation between students’ concentration and dexterity? According to Gáldi and Balogh (2015) if someone has no the appropriate coordination and conditional abilities which are correlated with the right psychic skills, thus that person cannot be successful, the performance will not be adequate. My goal is to find out, how motor and psychic skills can influence performance. I made the data collection in a high school in Ózd where 120 students were examined with the help of the school’s physical education teacher using most of the Netfit methods, sport specific tests and the Toulouse-Pieron test. The average age of the participants was 17,8 years. After checking the data, I processed them into MS Excel spreadsheets using mathematical and statistical methods, which are presented by diagrams.
