Halaši Sabolč, Josip Lepeš
Abstract: 
Considering that during the growth and development motor abilities and morphological characteristics are changing, it is inevitable to follow them in different ages. On the example of 125 respondents, 62 boys and 63 girls at 7.39 decimal years, who attended first grade at primary schools in Subotica, basical anthropometrical characteristics are measured, general motor abilities are proved on the basis of 7 motor tests, and body composition is showed by In Body 230 machine. On the basis of the results of MANOVA it could be concluded that there are statistically important differences in favour of boys in motor variables of 20-m dash, standing broad jump, obstacle course backwards, and the variable seated straddle stretch are in favour of girls. Boys in the variables for the percent of body composition, whole quantity of muscles and water in the organism had better and statistically more important percentage results contrary to girls.
