On a sample of 94 6th graders, by applying the canonical correlation analysis, no statistically significant link between the mentioned areas was established, while a series of regressional analysis determined the existing of a significant impact of only one environmental factor (the number of children in a family) on the motor ability of foot precision. The obtained results point to the fact that motor abilities are more under the impact of some other factors, not environmental
