Physical education is a component of general education which turns the child into an efficient and active adult for the society. Specialist from educational domains or other connected domains have a permanent concern to improve the educational process and to find proper and efficient methods and ways keeping in mind certain age levels. The aim of this study is to reveal the multiple psychomotor perspectives in physical education reflected in specialized literature. We accessed 6 data bases representative for Sport Science and Physical Education. We identified multiple bibliographical sources. The observation we made at the end of the research showed that psychomotricity is a subject approached in Romanian literature by many specialist from various domains like: medical domain, pedagogy, psychology, physiology, psychiatry. We identified theoretical aspects like definitions, classifications, concepts, stages of motor development. There are studies which underline the valences of the psychomotor activities achieved with subjects of different ages. Psychomotor aspects can be less found in academic physical education. The studies highlight the influence that motor activities have on psychic and cognitive skills.
