Abstract
Material and methods. The study material has been constituted by the results of research of a group of 15 schoolchildren of 14 years of age, made in 2006. An attempt that was not recorded was made before the first evaluated test. Then each test was made three times (in 3 consecutive days) with a tested person, with the same test procedures (computer equipment, time of the day, outdoor conditions, and research maker) retained. 26 different characteristics connected with motricity coordination of a man have been received. The gathered material has been worked out with basic statistical methods counting: x–, SD. In order to verify the influence of learning on tests’ results the method of variation analysis ANOVA for dependent attempts has been used. If the zero hypothesis on the lack of difference between arithmetic mean had not been confirmed, it was checked which of them were responsible for the rejection of hypothesis by the Tukey’s test “post-hoc” for equal N.Results and conclusions. No statistically important influence of learning on the researched test CMA results between first and second measurement has been observed. Only a three times repetition “day after day” of each test with the checked person has shown statistically important improvement of CMA computer test results – in comparison to the first check. To sum up, only the results of the third check should be treated as a joint effect of influence of learning and the level of the given coordinating ability. The received results confirm the usefulness of the suggested computer tests for the research of chosen coordinating abilities.
