Abstract
The Movement Assessment Battery for Children-2 (MABC-2) is a popular assessment of children's motor skills in both Western and Eastern countries. Since children's motor skills are strongly influenced by the sociocultural context, it is essential to specifically examine the applicability of the MABC-2 in different cultures. The performance on the MABC-2 age band 1 of children in Taiwan was compared with the standardized sample from the United Kingdom. The sex differences in the performance on the MABC-2 were also investigated.
