| Sumario: | There is concern about the level of motor coordination among Spanish secondary students and its impact on their daily activities and health. The aim of this study was to evaluate the coordination of a sample of secondary school children. The study included 120 schoolchildren, 65 boys and 55 girls of four Secondary Schools of the Community of Madrid, aged between 12 and 14 years. All participants performed the Body Coordination Test (KKTK), designed to detect motor coordination problems in schoolchildren aged 12 to 14 years. The results allowed to establish three coordinating groups: normal (38.3%) symptomatic (31.35%) and problematic (30%). These results indicated that 61.7% of the students participating in this study formed the Symptomatic and Problematic groups. Girls were predominant in the symptomatic and problematic levels. This study confirms that motor coordination problems exist among Spanish secondary schoolchildren. This is not only an education but also a health problem because it prevents more active life styles among adolescents, especially among girls. |
