Summary/Abstract: The purpose of the research presented in this article was to assess the impact of age and gender on functional features associated with precision and speed of task performance. The study involved two 120-person groups: the younger aged 20-30 and the older aged 55-67 years old. Variables describing the quality of precise actions, eye-hand-eye coordination and eye-hand coordination in the cross-test were measured. In the variables of all tests, the values varied according to the age and gender of the subjects. The smallest differences between men and women occur in the variables of the eye-hand- leg coordination test. The results clearly show that the performance of tasks requiring precision and speed of action is conditioned by age, and in the case of some variables also by gender.
