Abstract
The purpose of this study was to describe change process of some characteristics of physical fitness and motor skill of male and female volunteers participating in the entrance exam of physical education and sports science between the years of 2005 and 2015. Accordingly, information on available data from tests held between 2005 and 2015 – (except for 2007 and 2009 was not available) for 58449 subjects including 37,917 female subjects and 20,532 male subjects in all cases of practical was examined. Then, the change process of some variables in different years and in both sexes were statistically analyzed. Accordingly, the results of this study showed that the process of changes in the physical and motor fitness characteristics was slowly and gradually taking place (chin- up, girls medicine ball throwing, soccer and basketball dribbling record had a downward trend and curl up, boys medicine ball throwing and total time of tests had a unchanged trend). Further analysis of the results indicated that the physical fitness in boys and the motor skills readiness among the girls have more changing (The boys' skill readiness scores for dribbling tests were lower than girls, and vice versa).
