A Study On Relationship Between Creative Motor Response And Kinesthetic Perception Of Children

Abstract

In the field of sports, activity is the basis of performance. The voluntary movements are learned in response to any stimulus. Some team game like football or hockey and sports like gymnastics require bodily aesthetic sense and creative motor response. So it was the purpose of the study to find out the relationship between creative motor response and kinesthetic perception of different age group of children. One eighty school children were randomly selected from the ‘Dooars' region of West Bengal. Creative motto response was measured by a motor creativity test battery (M.C Ghosh, 1991) and kinesthetic perception was measured by distance perception jump. Mean, standard deviation, and Pearson Product Moment Correlation were computed to analyse the data. The level of significance was set at .05 levels of significance. It was found that significant negative relationship exists between motor creativity and kinesthetic perception. The study showed that this relationship becomes stronger with the improvement of age of the children. From the results of this study it is found that motor creativity possesses negative relation with kinesthetic perception of the children.
