Several researchers have indicated that children with physical awkwardness have significantly longer reaction time than do children without physical awkwardness. But little is known about motor reaction and speed of young children with physical awkwardness. The purpose of this study is to examine physical awkwardness in early childhood on motor reaction and speed task preliminarily. 194 participants were assessed by Movement Assessment Battery for Children and 23 young children with physical awkwardness (Awkward group) and age-matched controls (Control group) were selected. For motor reaction and speed task, `response speed stick' in the Bruininks-Oseretsky Test of Motor Proficiency (Bruininks, 1978) was used. Results showed that motor reaction and speed of Awkward group was not significantly slower. In the analysis of each tasks, however, the subjects of Awkward group demonstrated slower and more variable movements than Control group in the first trial only. On the other hand, there were no differences in results of between Awkward group and Control in the other trials.
