RESUMO

Introduction: children with atypical development have shown in a greater degree, difficulties to estimate their own ability to perform motor actions, when compared to children with typical development. However, factors such as age and gender still have to be investigated. Objective: to investigate age and gender-related changes in the Percept Motor Estimation of children with typical and atypical development. Method: This study was conducted with 7-12 years old individuals: 65 children with typical development and 63 with atypical development. In order to select the groups of children the Movement Assessment Battery for Children - Second Edition (MABC-2) was used. We evaluated the percept motor estimation at two motor tasks (horizontal jump and reach with the foot). Results: In a general manner the two groups showed difficulties in estimating their own ability to perform both motor tasks. However, individuals with atypical development, demonstrated greater difficulties and tended to underestimate or overestimate to a greater extent, the percept motor estimation to perform the horizontal jump and to reach with the foot. In this study, age and gender did not show significant effects in Percept Motor Estimation in both groups. Conclusion: In this study, in spite the results suggest an influence of age and gender on the percept motor estimation in children with typical and atypical development, it was not possible to found statistical significance. In fact, children with atypical development probably have higher difficulties in estimating correctly their limits for action on motor tasks and may feel even more discouraged to join and remain in practical motor contexts or other potentially challenging environments and therefore learning.
