The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of skiing on the biomotoric characteristics of children with evaluating tests of girls between the ages of eight and 14 before and after the season. The experimental group of this study was 15 girls who had just started skiing and the control group of 30 girls. In total, 45 volunteers joined the study. To follow the development of the children in the study, the Bruininks biomotoric-Oseretsky proficiency testing of engines, Second Edition Short Form (BOT 2 brief) test: Fine Motor Precision, Fine Motor Integration, Manual Dexterity, Bilateral Coordination, Balance, Running Speed and Agility, Upper-Limb Coordination, and Strength was used and total scores were measured. All measurements observed changes in the first test by applying the latest testing methods. The Windows SPSS 17.0 statistical package program was used to analyze the data with Independent-Sample t-test to find the differences between the groups. Statistically meaningful levels resulted as p< 0.05 and p< 0.001. No meaningful differences were found in the comparison of the motoric features of the girls who ski and those who do not in their pre-test. A meaningful difference was found in fine motor skills, fine motor accord and total score after ski training. Ski training contributed to the fine motor skills, fine motor accord and total score of the girls.

The aim of this study is to investigate the effect of alpine skiing on the biomotoric characteristics of girls between the ages of eight and 14 before and after the season
Children are growing up in an unhealthy environment caught between technology, computer games and a fast food-style diet. This has become an important reason for children to participate in sports activities as physical education courses and lessons are not being actively pursued
Summary
All societies wish for the healthy growth and development of new generations. The ability of children to grow and develop in a healthy manner is related to genetic qualities as well as the quality of their living conditions. Environmental factors such as the geographical conditions of the child's country, the socio-economic and cultural characteristics of the family, traditions and customs of the community, and the living conditions of the family where the child is a member can influence the speed and level of its growth and development (Mülazımoğlu, 2006). The development advances as a whole in physical, mental, emotional and social areas. If a child can move comfortably he can interact with people and this facilitates social development; so social interaction accelerates mental development (Yüksek et al 2015)
