Objective: To compare the motor development of children living in rural and urban areas.
Materials and Methods: The cross-sectional, quantitative and descriptive study included 153 children aged 7 to 10 years, both sexes, divided into two groups. The Rural Group (RG) was composed of 76 children and the Urban Group (GU) was composed of 77 children. The motor development was evaluated through a Movement Assessment Battery for Children (MABC), second edition (MABC-2), which was developed to evaluate motor disabilities in children from 3 to 16 years old. The MABC-2 contains 3 test batteries for each age group. We have used the Band 2, which evaluates children from 7 to 10 years old. This method consists of 8 tasks, 3 tasks that measure manual dexterity, 2 tasks measure ball skill, and 3 tasks measure static and dynamic balance.
Results: There was a higher prevalence of children with motor delays in GU (32.5%) when compared to GR (15.8%). The GR obtained a better motor pattern in comparison to the GU in the aiming and receiving motor skills (p=0.01) and in the balance (p=0.008). When data was analyzed between the groups and according to gender, the urban female group was the group with the highest frequency of motor delays (33.3%).
Conclusion: Children living in rural areas had better motor development than children living in urban areas.
