The main goal of this research is to determine the partial quantitative differences in the motor abilities of students aged 13 - 15 years, athletes and non-athletes. For the realization of this research, a sample of 170 students was treated, of which 70 regularly attend physical education classes and engage in other physical activities (athletes) and 100 students who do not engage in any sport except regular physical education classes (non-athletes). In research we used 16 variables to assess basic motor skills that cover the study area well. To determine the partial quantitative differences at the univariate level between the respondents in motor skills, analysis of T-test results for small independent samples was applied. In order to determine the differences between the examined groups, multivariate analysis of variance (MANOVA) and univariate analysis of variance (ANOVA) was applied. Based on the obtained results, it can be concluded that the partial statistically significant quantitative differences between respondents in motor skills, as well as differences between the groups of students.
