The purpose of the study is to determine the gender characteristics of motor readiness of 9-year-old students.
Materials and methods. The study involved 83 schoolchildren aged 9 (girls – 35 people, boys – 48 people.). The children and their parents were informed about all the features of the study and agreed to participate in the experiment. The study uses such research methods as analysis of scientific and methodological literature, pedagogical observations, testing of motor readiness, probabilistic approach to the assessment of the learning process, methods of mathematical statistics. In the experiment, the level of training in the following exercises was controlled: climbing a rope in 2 steps, climbing a rope in 3 steps, climbing a coup in one fell swoop.
Results. In girls and boys, differences in the level of development of coordination of movements in individual parts of the body and vestibular stability are not statistically significant. 9-year-old boys have a statistically significantly higher level of development of strength, speed, speed, endurance and a higher level of training in gymnastic exercises and rope climbing than girls. The obtained canonical function explains 100% of the variation of the results and is informative for the classification of motor readiness of 8-year-old students (r = 0.937).
Analysis of the canonical function indicates its statistical significance (λ = 0.122; p = 0.001).
Conclusions. The canonical discriminant function can be used to classify the gender characteristics of motor readiness of 9-year-old students. As a result of discriminant analysis, the indicators that have the greatest weight in assessing the gender characteristics of motor readiness of 9-year-old students were identified. These include the level of relative strength of the shoulder flexors, velocity force, agility and the level of training to lift a coup in a single swing on a low crossbar.
