Abstract:

Motor performance from a young age is extremely important in order to exhibit the motor performance of children and to accelerate these developments. There are engine performance tests for this. Due to the need for multi-factor approaches to determine the motor performance status of children from an early age and to guide children according to their abilities, motor proficiency assessments are becoming more common in contemporary test batteries. The purpose of this systematic review study is to examine the literature on the use of the Deutscher Motorik Test (DMT), a motor performance evaluation tool, in the performance pathway and to evaluate its usability in such programs. In this systematic review, studies using at least one component of DMT were searched in three electronic databases (PubMed, Google Scholar, and Web of Science). A total of 26 articles were included in the review. As a result of this systematic review, it was found that DMT is used in different geographies, different sports disciplines and different age categories in the literature, it successfully demonstrates the distinction of performance measurement in the wide age category, and because most of the studies are longitudinal studies, the results provide important data in terms of performance measurement.
