Abstract

Properly developed motor patterns are of fundamental importance in the lives of individuals. This study aimed to compare the motor pattern of children who are basketball with indoor soccer players. A comparative method was used in this quantitative description study. There was 89 male children aged between 8 and 12 year old (46 basketball players and 43 indoor soccer players). The Test of Gross Development – Second Edition (TGMD-2), proposed by Ulrich (2000), was used to check the pattern of gross motor skills. The software Easy TGMD2 V. 1.0, proposed by Souza (2008), was used to determine the locomotor and object control patterns, plus the general motor pattern, as the performance os each participant in the mean and standard deviation os chronological age, locomotor age, locomotor delay, age control objects, control objects and delayed motor quotient in both groups. The normality of the data was verify by the Kolmogorov-Smirnov test and the Mann-Whitney test was used to check for difference between the two groups, on the general motor pattern, locomotor pattern and object control pattern (p>0.05). Thre was no statistically significant difference between groups for any of the three variables. Basedon the results obtained, it was possible to affirm that the practice extracurricular both the basketball and soccer, probably a positive influence on motor development of individual players, contributing to the improvement and development of motor patterns of the same sound and healthy.
