“…21 This battery is often used in motor development research with normal and special children from Portugal 22 and Brazil. 23 The battery consists of four items that measure (a) balance capacity during backward walking on three different width balance beams (3 cm, 4.5 cm and 6 cm); (b) one-leg obstacle surmounting; (c) side jump; and (d) side locomotion and object replacement. An overall measurement of gross motor coordination is obtained by the sum of the scores obtained in the four tests adjusted for age and sex.…”

Objective: To model changes in body mass index (BMI), including its stability, and to investigate the association between physical activity, 1-mile run/walk and levels of gross motor coordination and BMI during 5 consecutive years. Design: A longitudinal study of children 6 years of age at baseline followed at annual intervals over 5 years. Subjects: A total of 285 children (143 boys and 142 girls) were enrolled in grade 1 (age 6 years) and followed through grade 5 (age 10 years). Measurements: BMI was recorded and physical activity was assessed by questionnaire, aerobic fitness was evaluated with the 1-mile run/walk and gross motor coordination was measured with the KTK test battery (Körperkoordination test für Kinder). Multilevel modelling techniques were for the primary analysis. Results: Changes in BMI showed similar curvilinear trends in boys and girls, with ample inter-individual crossing trajectories that is, low tracking. Longitudinal changes in physical activity (PA) and aerobic fitness were not significantly associated with BMI-changes during the 5 years. Children who were more proficient in their motor coordination showed lower values of BMI during the 5 years. Conclusions: BMI trajectories of both boys and girls show low tracking of BMI-values. Considerable inter-individual variation exists both in baseline BMI-values and changes (velocity and acceleration) over time. PA and fitness were not associated with BMI-changes, but gross motor function was negatively associated with BMI-changes. No gender-specific associations were found. If confirmed in other populations these observations could be translated in the promotion of physical activities that improve gross motor function in children aged 6-10 years. This seems to be of major importance for the physical education curriculum of primary school children.

“…As evidências encontradas no presente estudo ao nível da coordenação motora em relação ao sexo assemelham-se aos resultados encontrados por Valdivia et al 30 com 4007 crianças peruanas com idade dos 6 aos 11 anos, por Deus et al 31 com 285 crianças portuguesas com idade dos 6 aos 10 anos e por Pelozin et al 32 com 145 crianças brasileiras com idade dos 9 aos 11 anos, evidenciando que escolares do sexo masculino obtiveram escores médios superiores aos do sexo feminino, mesmo quando não encontradas diferenças estatisticamente significativas entre os mesmos. Este tipo de resultado pode ser explicado, muitas vezes, pela diversidade de oportunidades possibilitadas no contexto familiar e escolar, bem como pelo envolvimento mais efetivo dos meninos em práticas de atividades físico-motoras 30,33 .…”

“…Segundo Collet 34 , uma constatação importante que pode ter influência nos valores alcançados parte do pressuposto que o interesse pelas atividades físicas espontâneas reduz ao longo da idade. Contrariamente, os resultados dos estudos de Valdivia et al 30 e Deus et al 31 indicam acréscimos nos níveis do desempenho da coordenação motora na proporção em que a idade progride. Tal achado, pode estar relacionado aos efeitos dos processos de crescimento e maturação 30 .…”

RESUMOO desenvolvimento da criança é um processo contínuo, dinâmico e não linear, no qual o movimento configura uma das necessidades vitais do ser humano. Este estudo quase-experimental teve por objetivo analisar a magnitude da mudança no nível coordenativo de 43 escolares com idade entre 6 e 7 anos, de ambos os sexos, submetidos a dois distintos programas de intervenção de atividades físicas, separados em grupo experimental (GE) e grupo controle (GC). Para avaliar a coordenação motora utilizou-se o Körperkoordinationstest Test Für Kinder (KTK). Os dados foram submetidos à análise estatística aplicando-se os testes de normalidade e t -student (para amostras independentes e para amostras pareadas). Os resultados indicaram que, no geral, os meninos obtiveram escores médios superiores aos das meninas, e, houve um decréscimo nos níveis de coordenação em escolares com idade mais avançada. Além disso, constatou-se que o GE obteve índices mais elevados que o GC. Palavras-chave: Ensino Fundamental. Educação Física. Programas Interventivos. ABSTRACTChild development is a continuous process, dynamic and non-linear, in which the movement sets up one of the vital needs of the human being. This quasi-experimental study aimed to analyze the magnitude of change in the coordinative level of 43 schoolchildren aged between 6 and 7 years, of both sexes, subject to two distinct physical activity intervention programs, separated in the experimental group (GE) and control group (GC). To evaluate the motor control using the Körperkoordinationstest Test Für Kinder (KTK). The data were subjected to statistical analysis by applying the tests of normality and t-student (for independent samples and for paired samples). The results indicated that, in General, boys obtained average scores above those of girls, and there was a decrease in the levels of coordination in schools with older age. In addition, it was noted that the GE obtained higher that the GC. Keywords: Primary school. Physical Education. Outreach Programs.

SummaryStudy aim: To compare two exercise training modes on the physical fitness of 10 year-old children. Material and methods: A sample of 60 schoolboys aged 10 years were randomly divided into 3 groups: Traditional (TG), trained according to the Brazilian national curricular parameters, Maturational (MG), in which the degree of difficulty of the activities was adjusted to the level of maturity of subjects, and Control group (CG). The GreulichPyle protocol was used to assess biological maturity. The following fitness tests were applied: 5×10 m shuttle run (SHR), Burpee's test (BCT), goniometric (LABIFIE) measurement of shoulder joint flexibility (SAA), horizontal shoulder flexion (HSF), shoulder joint abduction (SJA), lumbar spine flexion (LSF), hip joint extension (HJE) [10], Sargent's Jump Test (SJT), endurance shuttle run (ESR) and 50-m run. The TG and MG groups trained 16 weeks, twice weekly. Results: The only significant (p<0.05) between-group differences were found for SJA (TG >MG) and LSF (TG >CG). Conclusions: Despite the lack of clear-cut results, biological maturation combined with chronological age should be considered when applying various methodological approaches in order to encourage the engagement in physical exercises as this would have favourable carry-over effects.
