  Abstract:  During this study physical development and motor performance of children and the relationship of the above-mentioned results with some sociological factors was evaluated. The research was carried out in Hungary, in Keszthely, a town located in the northwest part of Europe’s biggest lake, Lake Balaton, in 2009. The sample of the research extended to 7-11 year-old students (N=389): 188 boys and 210 girls. The results show that the place of residence (inner city, suburb or community) and the living conditions (family house with garden, terrace house or multi-storey) do not have an effect on which level of P.E. lessons or trainings children participate in, what sport they choose or what their level of school achievement is. Family size and the number of brothers and sisters (although the correlation coefficients are significant in many cases), show only a loose correlation with P.E. lessons, the chosen sport, or school achievement. The level of P.E. lessons, going to trainings, or the chosen sport also correlate less with the qualifications of the parents. But at the same time, the average (intermediate), positive (r= 0.39; 0.41) correlations refer to the fact that the qualification of both the mother and the father has an effect on the school achievement of the child.
