Acesso em:.https://bdm.ufpa.br/jspui/handle/prefix/2075The motor coordination is the harmonious and economic interaction of the musculoskeletal, nervous and sensory systems in order to produce motor, precise and balanced actions; rapid reactions that require an adequate measure of force that determines the amplitude and speed of movement; an adequate selection of the muscles that influence the conduction and orientation of the movement; the ability to quickly change between tension and muscle relaxation. Baseball is a collective sport originated in the USA, currently in Brazil is practiced mostly by Japanese descendants in the northeast region of Pará where the practice involves people of all ages The objective of this paper was to analyze if the baseball practice interferes in the motor coordination in children. The sample was consisted of 13 males with an age between 5 and 13 years and 11 months. The motor coordination was assessed using the KTK battery (Körperkoordinations für Kinder Test ) developed by Kiphard and Schilling (1974). In general, we achieved values similar to the values observed in studies of other modality. In conclusion, we could observe that baseball practice for school-age children improves their motor coordination.Acesso AbertoCapacidade motoraBeisebolAtletasMotor abilityBaseballAthletesCNPQ::CIENCIAS DA SAUDETrabalho de Curso - Graduação - Monografia
