More than half of the respondents were boys (61%) and slightly less than half (39%) - girls. Sample selection method - unrealistic target. The study also involved parents of 3–4 grade pupils: fathers, mothers (N = 212) .The study was conducted in three stages: first stage - questionnaire survey of parents of the children being investigated, second - anthropometric data collection and evaluation, third - MOBAK test battery application 3 –4 grades.

After evaluating the significance of family FA and nutrition climate for motor skills of children of grades 3-4, statistically significant links were obtained with motor skills for movement with object (p <0.05) and for movement without object (p <0.05). It was also discovered that the more frequent the physical activity of the child, the higher the motor skills for the object and object-free movement (p <0.05). In the activity group, the indicators of the motor skills in the movements with the object were higher than those of the inadequate parental activity group (p <0.05). Also, the indicator of sufficient parental physical activity of the parental physical activity group during movement without object is higher than the insufficient physical activity of the parents (p
