The aim of the work was to verify the battery of specific co-ordination tests for ice hockey players.Based on the literature and after consulting with the coaches, two test batches - the IOWA brace test and the MABC-2 test battery were selected.The total file size was 90 children of an average age of 8 years, who regularly attend hockey training practice in HC Motor Ceske Budejovice. The file was divided into 4 age categories: Base A - 9.6 years, B - 8.4 years, C - 7.9 years and D 6.6 years. The measured results were compared with the Spearman correlation coefficient and the Wilcoxon sequence test. Low and mean correlation was demonstrated in all four age categories: rA = 0.47, rB = 0.53, rC = 0.67 and rD = 0.43. The Wilcoxon test dependence was confirmed only in the two youngest categories: WA = 80.5, WB = 55, WC = 15.5, WD = 0 (T0.05 = 21). For both tests, the sensitivity of the test in each age category was also evaluated. Based on the IOWA test results we can state that this test is not sufficiently sensitive for the two youngest categories. Based on our own experience and achieved results, we can recommend a MABC-2 test battery for sports children aged 6-7 years. For elderly children, both test batteries are suitable, and from the point of view of sports, we recommend using the IOWA relay test.
