OBJECTIVE: The objective of the present study was to organize articles that used the Motor Development Scale (MDS) for motor evaluation in children from 7 to 10 years old, in order to understand the motor development levels of these children. METHODS: For this, we used a literature review study, seeking theoretical references via electronic search engines: Google academic, Capes and Scielo journals. The theoretical references used comprised the period from 2012 to 2018. RESULTS: In the organization of the contents (theoretical frameworks), it can be observed that the practice of physical activity and sports promote better motor development; children from public and private schools show no differences in motor development levels; There are no differences in motor development between urban and rural children; children with low motor development present poor performance in school; Physical activity can positively influence the motor development of children aged 7 to 10 years, provided it is performed in an organized and systematic manner. CONCLUSION: Given the notes, it can be assumed that there is relevance in the practice of physical activity for motor development of children aged 7 to 10 years and that most children between 7 and 10 years have normal rates of motor development.
