In total participated 510 children in elementary school (253 boys and 257 girls) where by grade participated (1st= 128, 2nd = 137, 3rd =117, 4th =70 and 5th = 58) living in Tirana, Albania. The level of coordination ability for lower limbs was assessed using jumping sideways test (JS) part of Körperkoordinations Test für Kinder (KTK) battery test: jumping bilaterally as many times as possible over a wooden rod (60 cm x 4cm x 2 cm) in 15 seconds. The number of jumps over two trials was summed. Data analysed by gender in elementary school children in Tirana show no statistical significance F=0.135 and Sig= 0.714 (boys=50.5 jumping and girls 49 jumping). Also data analysed by gender and for each grade in elementary school children in Tirana show no statistical significance.
