Abstract :The aim of this study was to investigate respiratory parameters, hand-eye coordination and body mass indexes of gifted students aged 8-9 years. The population of the research consists of 124 students from 23,228 students in the second year in Malatya. The research group consists of 73 students insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(37 girls and 36 boys);. To determine students` intelligence levels as data collection tools Wechsler Intelligence Scale for Children insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(Savaşır and Şahin, 1995); was applied, Mir Spirolab III brand spirometer is used for measurement of the functions, dart was performed for hand-eye coordination and weight and height measurements were taken for Body Mass Index insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(BMI);. One - way ANOVA was used for comparisons. Significance level was tested with α = 0.05. The findings of the study showed that children with normal intelligence insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(n = 4); Wisc-r had a total of 105.75 ± 2.36; children with bright intelligence insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(n = 10); 114.30 ± 2.40; children with superior intelligence insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(n = 26); 124.30 ± 2.71; children with very high intelligence insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(n = 22); 134.18 ± 2.48; genius group insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(n = 11); children were found to score 145.73 ± 3.95. There was no statistically significant difference insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(p> 0.05); between FVC, FEV1, PEF, Dart mean and BMI according to intelligence groups of children. As a result, there was no significant difference between respiratory parameters, hand-eye coordination and BMI according to intelligence levels of 8-9 years old children. Therefore, it can be said that gifted children do not have any physical difference compared to the children in the other intelligence group.
