title: A motor performance typology of boys and girls in the age range 6 to 10 years.
abstract: A motor performance typology of boys and girls (ages 6-10 years) was developed based on four factors extracted by factor analysis from data on 47 physical growth and motor performance variables. Nineteen variables which best described the four factor-defined components were used in formulating the person-clusters (typologies) following Tryon's condensation method. Eleven person-clusters emerged, which included 137 of the 146 children tested, or 95% of the group. The five personclusters that accounted for the majority of girls (73%) accounted for only 16% of the boys. The six person-clusters that accounted for the majority of boys (84%) accounted for only 27% of the girls.
