Abstract [eng] In the work we have performed theoretical analysis of physical development, physical fitness, development of small motorics and origin of left-handed children. The following hypothesis has been formulated – physical development, physical fitness and small motorics of right-handed children is higher level than left-handed. The continuous research has been carried out, its aim was to compare physical development, physical fitness and small motorics of right-handed children, aged 7-10, with left-handed. 95 primary school children: 42 girls and 53 boys, aged 7-10 have participated in the research. The respondents were from Siauliai Medelynas Basic School. 11 left-handed and 84 right-handed pupils have participated in the research. Empirical part analyses features of physical fitness and small motorics of primary school children. It was important to find out whether dominant hand has influence on physical fitness and small motorics of children. The most relevant conclusions of empirical research: 1.Having performed research analysis it became clear that right-handed children’s equilibrium reaction is better than left-handed. Left-handed pupils maintain attention more difficult than right-handed in the tasks. 2.The research results have shown that psychomotoric reaction of right-handed children is better and quicker than left-handed. 3.On the grounds of the research results, it’s evident that dominant hand is important for doing tasks. 4.The research hypothesis has been verified – physical development, physical fitness and small motorics of right-handed children is higher level than left-handed.
