This study investigated the relationship between motor coordination and intelligence level in adolescents. The sample was comprised of 550 adolescents from Slovenia, aged 13.1 years (SD = 0.87), who attended elementary schools. For assessment of motor coordination a battery of eight tests were used. Assessment of intelligence was carried out with test TN-20. Participants were divided into below average and above average intelligence groups based on their mean scores. ANOVA was used to determine the differences in motor coordination between above and below average intelligence groups. The most important finding was that adolescents of average intelligence performed motor coordination tasks more efficiently than did adolescents of below average intelligence. The difference is significant (p < .05) on seven of eight coordination tests. Our assumption that adolescents with higher level of intelligence would be more efficient in performing coordination tasks was confirmed.
本研究调查了青少年运动协调与智力水平之间的关系。样本包括来自斯洛文尼亚的550名青少年，年龄为13.1岁（标准差=0.87），均就读于小学。为评估运动协调能力，使用了一组八项测试。智力评估采用TN-20测试。根据参与者的平均得分，将他们分为智力低于平均水平和高于平均水平的两组。采用方差分析来确定智力高于和低于平均水平的两组在运动协调方面的差异。最重要的发现是，智力处于平均水平的青少年在执行运动协调任务时比智力低于平均水平的青少年更高效。在八项协调测试中的七项测试中，这种差异具有显著性（p<0.05）。我们关于智力水平较高的青少年在执行协调任务时会更高效的假设得到了证实。
