For that, some motor batteries have been developed for the purpose of evaluation, but based on different constructs and target populations. Objective: Assess the level of congruence between the Motor Development Scale, Movement Assessment Battery for Children Second Edition and Test of Gross Motor Development Second Edition in order to examine whether there are differences between genders and if children´s performances can be compared. Patients and Methods: The study included 172 children aged between nine and 10 years, 67 boys (X=9, 51; SD=0.40 years) and 105 girls (X=9, 44; SD=0.48 years). Results: It was found that boys had a better overall performance on motor tasks when compared to girls. With the analysis of the Z score, we met homogeneity in the distribution of test scores, so the children showed the same level of performance in all batteries. Regarding the level of congruence between the three batteries, it was established that the overall score of Movement Assessment Battery for Children Second Edition was positively correlated with the total score of the Motor Development Scale (r=0.30; p<0.001) and the Test of Gross Motor Development Second Edition (r=0.22, p=0.001). Among the total scores of the Motor Development Scale and Test of Gross Motor Development Second Edition, there was no significant correlation. Conclusion: This preliminary study demonstrates that using distinctive motor dimensions or motor tasks with different natures and measures, the Movement Assessment Battery for Children Second Edition can be used, if necessary, as an alternative to the batteries' Movement Assessment Battery for Children Second Edition and Motor Development Scale.
