Recent researches have raised that there are close relation between physical activity and cognition in both humans and non-human animals. To date, the research on humans has mostly focused on the effects of cardiovascular exercise on cognitive processes. This study aimed at extending the area of the recent study by investigating the possibility of differential cognitive function depending on the motor ability. We performed a several test to view motor ability by the test of KOSTASS (Korea Sport Talent Search system). This test examined the ability of instantaneous reaction force, muscular strength, muscular endurance, coordination and flexibility. We also examined cognitive functions by the K-Raven test and evaluated a child’s important cognitive process by using non-verbal progressive matrices. To analyze the relationship between the two test results, partial correlation analysis were used. Participants were elementary school students and regularly participated in youth sports programs of Seoul National University. The results showed there are positive relations between motor abilities and cognitive functions especially in coordination performance (basketball throw) score. These results reflect that the coordination capacity is highly associated with cognitive abilities(Voelcker-Rehage et al., 2011). Furthermore, our data suggest that motor ability like coordination beyond the simple physical fitness can improve cognitive function of young children who regularly participated in youth sports programs(Vestberg et al., 2012). To confirm the relationship and causality between movement and cognitive functions, longitudinal study and large number of participants are strongly needed.
