چکیده
Relationships between the level of physical activity (PA) and skills as well as relationships between the sports activity of parents and children were analysed in a sample of 1738 children from the 1st–3rd grades of elementary schools. Data on motor activity of children, sports activity of parents, and level of skilfulness of children rated according to their motor performance were obtained by means of a questionnaire. Relationships were evaluated by means of the Chi-square test and association coefficient. The results confirmed the higher level of motor skills in children with higher PA and, at the same time, positive relationships were recorded between the PA of children and sports activity of their parents.
