Abstract. The aim of the present study was to examine the relationship between perceived athletic abilities and actual motor performance in two fundamental motor skills, jumping and throwing, in young-adults. A total of 155 university students volunteered to participate and were assessed in the perception of athletic abilities, using the subscale of the instrument "Self-perception Profile for Adults"; in addition, the performance in fundamental motor skills for long distance jump and over-arm throw was assessed using the “Test for Fundamental Motor Skills in Adults”. Using Spearman's non-parametric correlation technique, a significant relationship was found between jump and athletic abilities (rho = .353; p <.001), but not for throw (rho = .137; p <.089). When analyzing the relationship by sex, the same behavior was found in men and women. Considering that motor perception and motor competence are related to physical activity levels, strengthening these factors may be a strategy to decrease sedentary lifestyle levels in the population.
