Methodology: the sample consisted of 141 children, 79 boys and 62 girls aged between 7 and 8 who attended the second year of first phase of first cycle basic school in the district of Vila Real. The motor product was assessed by the mean distance obtained in repeated throws, jumps and kicks trials and time in running. The process was assessed with a Gallahue’s10 checklist.
