Perceived motor competence refers to a child's understanding, awareness, and beliefs about performing motor skills and has been reported differently in different genders and ages. This study aimed to investigate the role of gender, and age in perceived motor competence (Locomotor skills, Ball skills, and Total motor skills) in 7-9-year-old children in Urmia city. The current research method was a descriptive, post-event type (causal-comparative). 270 boys and girls, aged 7 to 9 years, were selected as a convenience sample from Urmia city schools. The pictorial scale of perceived movement competence for young children was used to measure perceived motor competence. Statistical methods of analysis of variance and LSD tests were used to test the hypotheses. The results of the data analysis showed that the main effect of gender was not significant in any of the components of perceived competence of locomotor skills, ball skills, and total motor skills. The main effect of age on the locomotor skills component was not significant. However, the main effect of age was significant in the components of perceived competence of ball skills and total motor skills. So 8- and 9-year-old children had more perceived competence in the component of ball skills and total motor skills than 7-year-old children. This difference was not significant at the ages of 8 and 9 years. Overall, according to the results of this research, it is recommended that parents, PE teachers, and coaches consider these factors when designing training and implementing motor development interventions for 7 to 9-year-old children.
