The aim of this study is to present, didactically, the use of hierarchical or multilevel modelling in analysing and interpreting children´s motor performance, namely the one mile run-walk. We mention briefly the steps of modelling, analysing the results from the output of the software used, HLM 6.02. Each step is duly explained, and presented its relevance in interpretative terms.
