RESUMO
O objectivo desse estudo foi investigar o teste ABC do movimento (9), especificamente a bateria de testes motores, em crianças de ambientes diferentes. Para tanto se utilizou a faixa etária II do teste que compreende crianças de sete e oito anos de idade. Considerou-se como ambientes diferentes as zonas rural (rodoviária e ribeirinha) e urbana (norte, sul, leste, oeste, centro-sul e centro-oeste) da cidade de Manaus. Participaram do estudo 240 crianças de ambos os sexos, as quais executaram os testes de habilidades manuais, com bola e de equilíbrio. Os resultados, analisados por meio dos testes de Kruskal Wallis e U de Mann Whitney, mostraram que as crianças das zonas rural e urbana tiveram desempenhos semelhantes, tanto no escore total do teste quanto nos testes específicos das habilidades manuais, com bola e de equilíbrio. O mesmo foi observado quando se comparou o desempenho das crianças das subzonas norte, sul, leste, oeste, centro-sul, centro-oeste, rodoviária e ribeirinha. A partir desses resultados pôde-se concluir que o teste ABC do movimento é aplicável na avaliação de crianças de ambientes diferentes.
