Abstract:

 

The purpose of the present study is to compare certain motor skills of the students enrolled at sports high schools and other high schools, with a view to revealing any differentiation between the groups. The research group is composed of 129 senior-year students who were enrolled at Trabzon Sports High School, Trabzon Science High School, Trabzon Fatih Sultan Mehmet Anatolian High School and Akçaabat Multi-Program Anatolian High School. The data gathering tool employed to establish the motor skill levels of the students was the "personal info sheet", applying hand reaction, elasticity (sitting-laying), standing long jump (horizontal leap), push-up, crunch, balance, 20 m sprint and endurance (yo-yo test) motor tests. The tests revealed that the motor skills of sports high school students had been superior to those of the students of other high schools. It is possible to argue, however, that the difference may be due to the fact that athletes comprise the student body of sports high schools, rather than the training itself provided at the school.
