Coordination is defined as most complex motor ability therefore its research is very demanding. In Croatia and around the world many researches are made about structure and coordination division. Components of coordination are rhythmic, balance, space orientation, ability of reaction and synchronization of movement in time. This paper starts from development and coordination function in preschool children. The aim of this research is to give insight to current state of coordination development in children of age between 5 and 7. Based on the obtained results the aim is to examine if there are differences in coordination abilities concerning gender and to examine whether there is a correlation between anthropometric characteristics and the results of coordination tests. The research was conducted on a sample of 21 child, 12 of whom were boys and 9 of whom were girls. Variables used for assessment of coordination abilities are tests side steps (MKUS), circling on all four (MKKČ) and stick transfer (MKPM). Descriptive statistics shows the differences in test results of coordination and anthropometrics characteristics. Anthropometric characteristics show that boys in average are taller than girls, while girls weight more and have higher body mass index. Results of coordination tests show that boys are more successful in test circling on all fours, while girls are more successful in side steps test. According to results of t-test statistically significant differences by gender are not shown in coordination test results. Correlation analysis gives statistically significant connection between test circling on all fours results and child body weight.
