“…This meta-analysis was conducted using the R package meta version 7.0-0. Among the included studies, one study reported findings separately for males and females ( 20 ), while another study provided data for different age groups (4 and 5 years old) ( 21 ). To reduce the potential impact of bias from a single study on the overall effect, data from two separate groups within each study were combined to generate a composite score.…”

PurposeThe growth of certain human brain structures peaks at early ages, and complex motor interventions could positively facilitate this process. This study aims to offer an updated meta-analysis regarding the effectiveness of motor development-focused exercise training on gross motor skills in preschool children.MethodsWe searched English- and Chinese-language electronic databases as of March 2024. The main eligibility criteria were as follows: participants were healthy children aged 3 to 6 years old, and the experimental design was a randomized controlled trial, with the control arm participating in either free play or ordinary physical education curriculum. We conducted a Hartung-Knapp random-effects meta-analysis of the standardized mean difference for locomotor, object control, or gross motor quotient.ResultsThe search identified 23 eligible studies, of which approximately 75% were considered to have a low risk of bias. Compared with active control, exercise training showed a large to very large effect size. Cohen’s d values were 1.13, 1.55, and 1.53 for locomotor, object control, and gross motor quotient, respectively. From a probabilistic viewpoint, these effect sizes correspond to events that are “very likely to occur” and “almost sure to occur.” Due to variations in intervention programs, all outcome measures showed high heterogeneity.ConclusionThis updated meta-analysis offers a realistic synthesis of the current evidence, leading to the conclusion that targeted motor skill exercise training can almost certainly enhance preschool children’s gross motor skills. Practical implications are discussed regarding the refinement of the instructional framework and the dissemination of these findings in preschool settings.

“…The BBT is a test of DB in which the subject walks on a 10 cm wide by 30 cm tall and 3 m long wooden balance beam ( Hu et al, 2020 ; Ke et al, 2021 ). This test has adequate validity and reliability for testing dynamic balance in children ( De Kegel et al, 2010 ; Latorre-Román et al, 2021 ).…”

Objectives: Balance is a crucial ability of early age, but there is conflicting evidence with regard to age and gender differences in preschool children’s balance ability. Additionally, there are several tools available to measure balance, yet, wide variation in their use has restricted the capacity to synthesize the reference values. Therefore, the primary purpose of this study was to investigate the balance ability of preschool-aged children and determine how it is moderated by age and gender. The analysis pertained to determining whether different testing methods affect the results of static or dynamic balancing ability to provide a basis for normative balance ability data for healthy boys and girls between 3 and 6 years of age.Method: Six hundred and nineteen preschool children (296 boys and 323 girls) aged 3–6 years participated in the study. The static balance (SB) was assessed with children standing on one leg (OST) and in a tandem stance (TS) with respect to time. The balance beam test (BBT) and functional reach test (FRT) were used to evaluate dynamic balance (DB) by measuring the time spent and the distance reached, respectively.Result: The results revealed significant differences in OST with respect to gender (η2 = 0.037, p < 0.001), TS (η2 = 0.026, p < 0.001) and FRT (η2 = 0.016, p = 0.002); the girls performed better than boys on most balance tests except on BBT (η2 = 0.000, p = 0.596). Age had positive effects on the static and dynamic balance performance on the OST (η2 = 0.336, p < 0.001), TS (η2 = 0.205, p < 0.001), BBT (η2 = 0.367, p < 0.001) and FRT (η2 = 0.392, p < 0.001). Older children performed better than their younger counterparts. No significant interactions between age groups and sex were found.Conclusion: This study revealed that static and dynamic balance stability in preschool-aged children was affected by gender and age. Gender dimorphism is present in preschool children, older girls displayed better postural stability than boys, and balance performance improved with age. In addition, the study provides age- and gender-specific balance performance reference values for preschool children across multiple methods, which can be used to monitor static and dynamic balance development.

“…Sebaliknya apabila fundamental movement skill tidak terbina dengan optimal, maka akan berdampak terhadap keterampilan gerak yang rendah. Berdasarkan hasil studi yang dilakukan oleh Senturk et al, (2015) melaporkan bahwa penguasaan fundamental movement skill yang baik dapat memberikan manfaat yang besar bagi seseorang untuk melakukan berbagai aktivitas fisik dan menjadi modal utama bagi siswa dengan usia dini, remaja dan dewasa untuk sukses dalam melakukan keterampilan di suatu cabang olahraga (Hu et al, 2020). Selain itu, fundamental movement skill yang rendah akan menyebabkan siswa tidak aktif bergerak dan akan menyebabkan dampak negatif bagi siswa.…”

This research is motivated by the low fundamental movement skills possessed by students today. The purpose of this study is to examine the effect of the movement education model program on improving fundamental movement skills. The method in this research is experimental with the use of one group pre-test and post-test design. The subjects came from 101 students at Al-Azami Junior High School, then they were selected in a random cluster and the students in grades VII-A and VIII-B were selected (N=41). The Fundamental Movement Skill instrument uses locomotor, object-control and stability tests. The movement education model intervention program was carried out for 9 meetings. Data analysis using the SPSS application which aims to find the minimum, maximum, mean and standard deviation, normality, homogeneity and paired sample t-test values. The main findings show that there is an influence of the movement education model on the improvement of fundamental movement skills (P <0.05). Thus, it can be concluded that the movement education model learning that is integrated into physical education is proven to be able to change fundamental movement skills for the better than before.
