Abstrakt: This study involved 3,644 elementary school students from grades 2-9. It aimed to evaluate students' basic motor skills across these grades, utilizing the Eurofit battery of tests. Analysis of results revealed that most students attained a score of 1 in the flamingo test, with the fewest achieving a score of 4. Similarly, in the handtapping test, most students achieved a score of 4, while the fewest scored a 2. Results from the gray test showed that the highest proportion of students received a grade of 1, whereas the smallest proportion received a grade of 4. In the standing long jump test, the greatest number of students received a grade of 5, while the smallest number received a grade of 2. Regarding the hand strength test, the largest proportion of students achieved a grade of 5, with the fewest scoring a 1. For the lying down test, the highest number of students scored 2, and the fewest scored 1. In the push-up test, most students scored 3, with the fewest scoring 1. In the 10×5 m running test, the largest number of students achieved a grade of 5, while the smallest attained a grade of 2. Of the respondents, 43% reported engagement in sports, while 57% did not. Given the larger proportion of non-sporting respondents, the basic motor skills results appear notably low. Descriptive statistics were employed alongside various statistical methods during analysis.
