Consistency between two tests of assessment of motor talent in Physical Education
Abstract
The detection of talent in sport has been a topic of interest for many researchers. However, there is a lack of research on this topic within Physical Education. The purpose of this study was to determine the agreement between two recent tests based on talent detection in Physical Education: an athletic-skills track and the Spanish Scale for the Identification of Sport Potential. A total of 205 primary school students (54.76% boys and 45.4% girls) (M = 8.37 years; SD = 1.79) participated in the study. The students with higher scores in the athletic skills test were also considered by their teachers as talented in Physical Education. Therefore, these results demonstrate that there is a relationship between both instruments to identify talented students in Physical Education. Future studies should delve into the enrichment programs available for these students.
