Resum
Se evaluó la agilidad en 110 niños (63 chicos y 47 chicas) divididos en dos grupos de alumnos de educación primaria: (a) Grupo 1 (G1) (n=53): alumnos de 1º curso (6.3±0.6 años), y (2) Grupo 2 (G2) (n=57): alumnos de 4º curso (9.5±0.4 años). Se utilizó una modificación respecto al MAT (28) para la valoración de la agilidad: el MAT2. Los propósitos del estudio fueron cuantificar el nivel de agilidad de los dos grupos, comprobar la influencia de las variables edad y sexo en la agilidad en edades tempranas y determinar la fiabilidad y reproducibilidad del test MAT2 en niños de 6 y 9 años. Se han obtenido diferencias significativas (p<0.05) entre los resultados generales obtenidos por el G1 (9.76±0.90 s) y el G2 (8.29±0.80 s). En el análisis realizado en cada grupo no se han encontrado diferencias significativas atendiendo al sexo en el G1 pero si en el G2. Se han obtenido buenos valores de fiabilidad en el test MAT2.
