static balance, explosive leg strength, and coordination of hand
movement, speed of simple movements, precision and balance. In
the group of five and a half children they found that the structure of
motor abilities identified eight factors. Comparison between sexes
shows that the factor structures are partially similar, as were the fe-
male and male sex equally defined balance, explosive power and
agility.
The area of motor abilities is organized hierarchically. It is pos-
sible to identify two regulatory dimensions that define the structure
of a wide area of motor abilities. The first dimension is related to the
mechanisms for receiving and processing information and is crucial
for motor tasks, where structuring movement, movement control
