Abstract

What is motor competence and what is it for? Is it a subcompetence within the broad spectrum of the competency concept? Is it the nature of the motor that makes it worthy of its unavoidable presence in the field of motor behaviors in the subject of Physical Education? Or is it both? This article tries to elucidate whether this concept that concerns all physical activity and sports professionals has some epistemological reference that allows us to understand its educational nature. Through the etymological, semantic, historical and conceptual analysis of the words competence and motor skills, it is concluded that motor competence is a capacity that brings together the integrity of the dimensions of the person, and whose objective is the resolution of motor problems.
