In the course of systematic quality assurance, increasingly the question to which extent learning outcomes are achieved by children in sports and sports education arises. The central learning objectives of physical education are the curriculum-based basic motor competencies that enable children to play an active part in the culture of sports and exercise. Targeted diagnostics are an indispensable prerequisite for the systematic promotion of basic motor competencies. By describing the children’s level of motor competencies, information is gained that helps teachers to adapt their methodical and didactical behaviour to the children’s requirements. In order to assess and measure basic motor competencies, valid and practicable survey tools are needed. MOBAK-5-6 is designed for 10- to 12-year-old children. Thus, questions about the status and development of basic motor competencies in late childhood can be dealt with. The basic motor competencies of self-movement are covered with four tasks (balancing, rolling, jumping, running) and object movement with four tasks (throwing, catching, bouncing, dribbling). The difficulty and complexity of the requirements set in the MOBAK items are adapted to the children’s age.
