RESUMO

This study evaluates the relationship between growth and development of a motor skill in children who practice basketball and indoor soccer from the ages of 6 to 13 years old, by means of a new protocol originated from the EUROFIT Tapping Plate test. 59 children from the ages of 6 to 13 years old took part in the present causal-comparative and correlational research, who were divided into two groups: 31 basketball practicers (18 boys and 13 girls) and 28 boys indoor soccer practicers. All the children were submitted to measuring arms breadth, application of the test for diagnosis of hand preference and application of the Tapping Plate test in two different forms: the first one was employed in accordance with the distance established in 80 cm and the time of accomplishment for the 25 cycles (T1) was verified, the second one was employed in accordance with the distance adjusted in relation to the age and the pre-established time of 20 seconds (T2). Descriptive statistics was used for the data analysis, the T- test of Student for the independent samples and linear correlation of Pearson. The results indicate that, in relation to arms breadth there is no significant difference between boys and girls from basketball, but there is a difference between boys from the two modalities. In relation to the performance in the tests T1 and T2, the girls from basketball performed better than the boys who, in turn, performed better than the indoor soccer boys. The data indicated low to moderate correlation between arms breadth and the performance in test T1, for p <0,01 and low to moderate correlation between arms breadth and performance in test T2, for p <0,05, indicating significance in relation to the girls from the basketball and the boys from indoor soccer. This finding allows the inference that the new protocol (T2) evaluated with better reliability the relationship between growth and motor development than T1, which suggests to the manager of the Tapping Plate test that an adjustment of the distances between the signs should be made in accordance with the childrens age group, considering the same group of subjects or between subjects who present a similar cultural background. In general, the data demonstrate a moderate correlation between T1 and T2, which enables the validity of the new protocol, proposing an alternate option to the traditional test to measure the speed of superior members.
