Comparison <strong>of</strong> Motor Performance <strong>and</strong> Social Anxiety (SASC) <strong>of</strong> 10-12 Year-old PE<br />

Class <strong>and</strong> Music Class School Children<br />

Objectives: Methods/Subjects: motor performance (static hanging with bent elbow/sec,<br />

st<strong>and</strong>ing log jump /cm, number <strong>of</strong> sitting up during 30 sec), <strong>and</strong> social anxiety measures<br />

(social anxiety <strong>and</strong> distress in new situations /SADN, fear <strong>of</strong> negative evaluation/FNE, <strong>and</strong><br />

social anxiety <strong>and</strong> distress in general/SADG) were compared for PE class <strong>and</strong> music class<br />

school children <strong>of</strong> 10-12 year <strong>of</strong> age (N=132, PE student group=79, music student group =<br />

55). BMI served the differentiation <strong>of</strong> slim(G1), average (G2) <strong>and</strong> overweigh(3) boys <strong>and</strong><br />

girls according to Mészáros (2005). Basic statistics, Pearson correlation, ANOVA, <strong>and</strong> linear<br />

regression analysis, Cronbach alpha <strong>and</strong> part-whole correlation had been done with SPSS 15.0<br />

for Windows.<br />

Results: The only sex difference was found in BMI. It was significantly higher for boys than<br />

girls. Calendar age correlated only with st<strong>and</strong>ing long jump for boys.<br />

There was no statistically significant difference between PE class <strong>and</strong> music class students<br />

neither in the motor performance tests, nor in social anxiety.<br />

The most significant differences occurred for body weight subgroups with different feature in<br />

boys <strong>and</strong> girls. ANOVA revealed longer static hanging with bent elbow <strong>and</strong> more number <strong>of</strong><br />

sitting up in group 1 /2 than in group 3 for boys. St<strong>and</strong>ing long jump results differ<br />

significantly for groups ½ form group 3 (boys), <strong>and</strong> group 1 from group 3 (girls).<br />

The regression analysis, in the groups <strong>of</strong> boys, supported the casual relation between static<br />

hanging with bent elbow <strong>and</strong> FNE, <strong>and</strong> between the calendar age <strong>and</strong> st<strong>and</strong>ing long jump.<br />

Conclusion: The students <strong>of</strong> different specialized classes do not differ from each other in<br />

motor performance <strong>and</strong> emotional characteristics.<br />
