Abstract
Background : Coordination is the product of a complex set of cognitive and physical processes that are often taken for granted in children who are developing normally. Purpose: To investigate the correlation between weight and coordination in primary school aged children. Procedures : One hundred children ranged from 7-10 years from both sex (43 boys and 57 girls) participated in this study, all children were exposed to quick neurological screening test (Fifteen observed tasks ),and Bruininks-Oseretsky Test of Motor Proficiency (bilateral coordination, upper limb coordination and visual motor control) . Results : The result revealed strong positive significant correlation between body weight with quick neurological screening test and a moderate negative significant correlation with Bruininks-Oseretsky Test of Motor Proficiency of bilateral coordination, upper limb coordination and visual motor control. Body mass index had a strong positive significant correlation with quick neurological screening test and a moderate negative significant correlation with Bruininks-Oseretsky Test of Motor Proficiency of bilateral coordination and upper limb coordination, and a strong negative significant correlation visual motor control. Conclusion: This study demonstrate weight and Body mass index had significant inverse correlations with coordination during childhood period
