To establish normative data for basic motor competencies in Italian schoolchildren aged 5–11 years.
Assessed 1626 children from Northern Italy using the MOBAK test battery.
Evaluated self-movement and object movement competencies.
Employed descriptive statistics, percentile ranks, z-scores, and T-scores to establish normative values.
Boys outperformed girls in object movement tasks, while girls excelled in self-movement tasks.
Percentile ranks indicated developmental improvements, with boys showing increasing difficulty in high scores with age.
Girls maintained stable or improved percentile ranks over time.
