Developmental characteristics of motor abilities of high school girls

This study was conducted on a sample of 710 high school girls. The aim of the study was to determine the differences in the developmental trend of motor abilities for students from 14 to 18 years of age. The results showed the uneven growth of some abilities ranging from the ages of 14 to 18. Students achieved the best results at the age of 15, stagnating or slightly declining thereafter. The largest decline in the results was found for the balance test and static strength test. The obtained results may be explained by the students' generally reduced level of physical activity, inadequate effects of physical education classes and, generally speaking, insufficient engagement of our society in solving these problems.
