By combing relevant research on the development status of motor quotient and its evaluation system at home and abroad, this paper expounds and clarifies the future research direction of motor quotient as well as constructs a basic framework of motor quotient concept classification and evaluation-application system. Research found that first, the research on motor quotient abroad started earlier and has rich evaluation means, mainly focusing on the clinical diagnosis of preschool children’s development and the evaluation of motor development, but there is little discussion on the concept of motor quotient, only involving the discussion on sports quality and kinesthetic intelligence; applied research is mainly reflected in the fields of physical education and medical clinic. Second, there are many discussions on the concept and connotation of motor quotient in China. The research on evaluation system is gradually enriched, but most of it is used in the field of education, while that of practical application is almost bare. Third, the future research direction should focus on teenagers, carry out research from a multi-disciplinary perspective, broaden the research field, and enrich practical application.
