Munich fitness test (MFT) protocol was used to determine the motor skill levels of the athletes, and 50-meter freestyle swimming ratings were used to determine the swimming performances. According to the test of normality results, it was determined that the data collected had a normal distribution. Paired samples t-test was used to determine the difference between the MFT pre-test and post-test. According to the statistical analysis results, a significant difference in favor of the post-test was determined in Goal Throwing, Flexibility, Flexed Arm Hanging, Step Test, MFT total score and 50-meter swimming ratings of the participants. It is believed that the swimming training applied to the students improved their swimming performances and motor skill levels. It may be recommended that swimming exercises, as well as other factors, should be used in the cases where it is desired to improve children’s motor skills.\u003Cbr>Keywords: Swimming, motor skills, Munich fitness test. |\n| --- |\n| *Corresponding author.

Swimming is characterized by repeating a series of movements performed by the coordinated activities of the body and legs (Mooney et al. , 2016) . Swimming is a branch of sports including many factors such as balance, coordination, flexibility, strength, rhythm and correct technique (Ölmez et al. , 2017) . Although many variables in this branch of sports affect performance, the improvement of main motor features may be determinant in terms of performance efficiency (Kılınç et al., 2018; Kıstak et al. , 2019) . Developing these skills, especially from early ages may be vital in performance improvement.  \nMotor features developed also affect the improvement of the motor skills of athletes positively. A motor skill is defined as the voluntary movement of one or more body parts toward a specified target (Gallahue et al. , 2014) .  \nThe term motor skill has identified with the skillful execution of a task, the quality of movement that constitutes the basis of the performance and coordination (Robinson et al. , 2015) . Motor development includes functions such as motion skills, object control skills and balance. Motor skills represent the level of the quality of movement, coordination , and control as well asthe various motor tasks of individuals (Robinson et al., 2015) .  \nIt is stated that the best time to teach and improve basic motor skills is the preschool period (Payne and Isaacs, 2016) . It is stated that if there is a delay in this critical period, basic motor skills may be at a lower level than they should be and this will cause a limitation in the level of physical activity in the future (Stodden et al., 2008) . The fact that it is known that the motor skill levels of children have an important contribution to the prediction of later sportive success accurately (Vandorpeet al., 2012) necessitates determining motor skills and motor perfor","cbCaioNnqEtaX8Yx","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaioNnqEtaX8Yx","pdf",194649,"English","# Abstract\n# Introduction\n# Methodology\n## Research design","[{\"question\":\"How long was the swimming training program and how often did participants train?\",\"answer\":\"Participants received swimming training 4 days a week for 90 minutes each session over 8 weeks.\"},{\"question\":\"Which instruments were used to assess motor skills and swimming performance?\",\"answer\":\"Motor skill levels were determined using the Munich Fitness Test (MFT) protocol, and swimming performance was evaluated using 50-meter freestyle swimming ratings.\"},{\"question\":\"What statistical result indicates the effect of training?\",\"answer\":\"Paired samples t-test showed significant differences in favor of the post-test across multiple MFT components and the 50-meter swimming ratings.\"}]","African Educational Research Journal - Vol. 11(3) - Full Length Research Paper - Analyzing the effect of 8-week swimming training on motor skills and 50-meter swimming ratings | PDF",1792071472,15]
