The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of skiing on the biomotoric characteristics of children with evaluating
tests of girls between the ages of eight and 14 before and after the season. The experimental group of this study was 15
girls who h ad just started skiing and the control group of 30 girls. In total, 45 volunteers joined the study. To follow the
development of the children in the study, the Bruininks biomotoric Oseretsky proficiency testing of engines, Second
Edition Short Form (BOT 2 brief) test: Fine Motor Precision, Fine Motor Integration, Manual Dexterity, Bilateral
Coordination, Balance, Running Speed and Agility, Upper Limb Coordination, and Strength was used and total scores
were measured. All measurements observed changes in the first test by applying the latest testing methods. The
Windows SPSS 17.0 statistical package program was used to analyze the data with Independent Sample t test to find
the differences between the groups. Statistically meaningful levels resulted as p< 0.0 5 and p< 0.001 . No meaningful
differences were found in the comparison of the motoric features of the girls who ski and those who do not in their
pre test. A meaningful difference was found in fine motor skills, fine motor accord and total score after ski training. Ski
training contributed to the fine motor skills, fine motor accord and total score of the girls.
