This descriptive study had as objective to investigate the association between motor performance, perceived competence and body mass index of 8 to 10 year old children. Participated on this study 75 children enrolled in the public network teaching. The instruments were: Test of Gross Motor Development 2 (TGMD-2), Ulrich (2000), Self Perception Profile by Harter (1985) and the Body mass index (BMI). Data were collected individually. Data analysis was performed by the Kolgoromov-Smirnov test and Fisher’s exact test with a significance of P≤ 0,05. The results showed that 97,22% of the children demonstrated high and moderate perceived competence, 97,22% of the children showed poor/very poor motor development and 83,33% showed normal BMI. It is concluded, therefore, that there was no association between motor performance variables, perceived competence and BMI, indicating that children in this age line tend to overestimate their competences, being inaccurate in their perceptions.Downloads
