Abstract

Introduction: The objectives of the study were to show the percentile values ??of different motor tests in Spanish children's skiers and compare them with their performance levels between the different age and sex groups. Methodology: 135 Spanish skiers (53 girls and 82 boys) aged 11-14 years and children's category, performed 11 motor tests: 1) Forward trunk flexion; 2) Flamingo; 3) Hexagon; 4) Harre's obstacle course; 5) 5x10m; 6) Long jump; 7) Squat jump; 8) Counter Movement Jump; 9) Drop Jump; 10) Continuous vertical jumps for 15 seconds, and 11) 45 seconds. Results: The results of the two-way ANOVA showed numerous statistically significant differences between the age and gender categories. Conclusions: The choice of tests used for the prediction of sports performance in children in this study may be useful to assess physical abilities and control training in alpine skiing at the age of 11-14 years.
