Abstract

Introduction. Physical activity (PA) plays a crucial role in childhood and adolescent development, influencing motor competence and overall health. Despite extensive research on PA benefits, inconsistencies remain regarding its impact on specific motor skills among adolescents in different socioeconomic contexts. This study aims to examine the differences in motor abilities between physically active and less active students aged 12-13 in the Mekong Delta, Vietnam. Material and Methods. A total of 125 students (68 males, 57 females) participated in this cross-sectional study. PA levels were assessed using the Physical Activity Questionnaire for Children (PAQ-C), classifying students into active (PAQ-C ≥ 2.73) and less active (PAQ-C
