Experiment under the study was designed to profile the individual variations of the age-specific motor qualities, motivations and general intellectual abilities in 10-11 formers. The study data and analyses showed statistically meaningful negative correlations between the motor qualities and general intellectual abilities in the sample on the one hand; and on the other hand the study found differences in motivations for motor activity in students versus their intellectual abilities. The school students tested with the higher physical development rates/ motor qualities and lower intellectual abilities showed the higher motivations for motor activity. The study data and analyses demonstrate the practical need in the school physical education policies and practices being redesigned to step up their efficiency and form sustainable motivations for motor activity and self-reliant physical trainings.

Keywords: motor abilities, general intellectual ability, individual age development specifics, motivations for motor activity.
