Abstract :This study was conducted to evaluate motor performance skills of the children between 6-10 ages. 87 students between 6-10 ages were included in the study. Physical condition parameters and body composition measurements of the participants were noted. Pearson Correlation Test was used for the analysis. According to the results, the average age is 8.00±0.988 years; the average height is 129.4±9.08 cm; the average weight is 29.7±8.27 kg. There is a statistically significant correlation between long jump, right hand, left hand, back strength, 20 meters speed test, 1 minute pull-up test, flamingo balance test and Body Fat Mass insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(BFM);, Free Fat Mass insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(FFM);, Lean Muscle Mass insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(LMM);, Body Mass Index insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(BMI); and Body Fat Percentage insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(BFP); at the p<0.01 level. However, there isn’t a significant difference between body composition and sit& reach test. At the end of our study, we found that there is a significant correlation between body composition and motor performance skills of the children.
