The aim of the study is to investigate the effect of archery sport on attention and motor skills in children. A total of 100 volunteer students, 50 athletes between the ages of 10-14 who are licensed to engage in archery, and 50 students who have just started archery, were included in the study. The "Bourdon Attention Test" (letter form) was used to determine the attention levels of the participants, and the Munich Fitness Test (Münchner Fitnesstest, MFT) was used to determine the motor skill levels. SPSS Statistics 24.0 package program was used in the analysis of the data. In the analysis of the data, groups t-Test and Anova Tests were applied. According to the results of the research, it was determined that there was a statistically significant (p<0.005) difference in favor of the archers between the MFT total score and the bourdon attention test total score. While there is a significant difference in favor of archers in dribbling, target throwing, vertical jump and twisted arm hanging; No statistically significant difference was found in flexibility and step tests. It is seen that the entry-development-result sub-dimensions of the Bourdon attention test and the bourdon total score averages are statistically significant (p<0.005) in favor of the archers. As a result of the study, it was determined that archery sports positively affected the attention levels and motor skill development of children. It can be suggested that children should be directed to archery in order to improve their attention and motor skills, which are important factors in the cognitive and psychomotor development of children.
