“…This study suggested that children with higher FMS also have better karate techniques, while others have difficulties acquiring these techniques. Unfortunately, recent research has documented very poor or insufficient FMS performance in preschool and school-aged children (Okely et al, 2004; Erwin and Castelli, 2008; Hardy et al, 2010; Kokstejn et al, 2017a,b) combined with generally unresolved inactivity in children (Faigenbaum et al, 2018), which may result in impaired acquisition of more complex and difficult sport skills or delays in mastering the required skills. Similarly, the players in our study showed only an average level of FMS even though they were considered to be capable of high performance.…”

Fundamental Motor Skills Mediate the Relationship Between Physical Fitness and Soccer-Specific Motor Skills in Young Soccer Players

Fundamental motor skills (FMS) are the basic elements of more complex sport-specific skills and should be mastered at the end of early childhood; however, the relationship between FMS and sport-specific skills has not yet been verified in prepubertal soccer players. Therefore, the aim of this study was to determine the role of FMS in the process of acquiring soccer-specific motor skills (measured using speed dribbling) with regard to physical fitness and biological maturation. Forty male soccer players (11.5 ± 0.3 years of age) at the highest performance level participated in the study. The test of Gross Motor Development – second edition and Unifittest 6–60 were used to assess FMS and physical fitness, respectively. The role of FMS in a complex theoretical model with the relationships between physical fitness, biological maturation and speed dribbling was analyzed by multiple regression path analyses (MRPA). Moderate to strong correlations were found between FMS, physical fitness, and speed dribbling ( r = 0.56–0.66). Biological maturation did not appear to be a significant predictor of physical fitness or speed dribbling. The MRPA model using FMS as mediator variable between physical fitness and speed dribbling showed a significant indirect effect (standard estimation = −0.31, p = 0.001; R 2 = 0.25). However, the direct correlation between physical fitness and speed dribbling was non-significant. Our results showed that FMS significantly strengthened the influence of physical fitness on the performance of speed dribbling, a soccer-specific motor skill, and thus play an important role in the process of acquiring sport-specific motor skills in prepubertal soccer players. When considering the long-term training process, especially during childhood and before puberty, a wide range of FMS activities should be applied for better and possibly faster acquisition of soccer-specific motor skills.

“…The final result of the basic motion model product based on traditional games for early childhood (5-6) years after the research was carried out. It can be concluded that the basic motion model based on traditional games that is applied is feasible and suitable for use for early childhood (5-6) years and is effective for early childhood (5)(6) years.…”

This study aims to create a basic motion model of traditional games based on early childhood games (5-6) years. The aim of research is to create models and improve basic movements of early childhood education, especially those related to locomotor, non-locomotor and manipulative movements in early childhood (5-6) years. This research used a research and development (R&D) method which was carried out in DKI Jakarta with small experiment on 10 children and large experiment on 30 children by applying 20 basic movements based on traditional games. Based on the results of the effectiveness test on 30 research subjects, the initial test results of children's activities in motion were 12.8 and in the final test 20, there was an increase in children's activities in motion. The results of the initial test of children's activeness in nonmotorized motion were 13.66 and in the final test 16.8 there was an increase in children's activeness in non-motorized movement. The initial test of children's activeness in manipulative movements was 19.7 and the final test 22, there was an increase in children's activeness in manipulative movements. Based on the results of the above research, basic motion models based on traditional games for early childhood (5-6) years old can be applied as well as effective basic motion models to increase activities, abilities and skills through movement, especially those related to basic locomotor motion techniques, non locomotor and manipulative.

“…In Permendikbud No. 137 years 2014 neighboring Early Childhood Education Standards mentioned that the scope of development of children aged 4-5 years with Gross Child Development Achievement (TPPA) motor is as follows: (1) imitating the movement of animals, trees in the wind, airplanes, (2) (3) doing jumping, jumping, and running in a coordinated way, (4) throwing things in the direction, (5) catching things appropriately, (6) anticipating, (7) kicking something in a directional way , (8) utilizing games outside the classroom. This development is intended so that children experience optimal motor skills so they are ready to enter higher education.…”

This research aims to: (1) produce a gross motor teaching model through circuit game, (2) to know the effectiveness of application of teaching model through circuit game to increasing the gross motor skills of children aged 4-5 years. This development study refers to Borg & Gall's steps that simplify 10 development steps into 3 main parts: (1) Introduction Study, (2) Product Development Phase, and (3) Product Test Stage. Validation of products is done by material experts and media experts. The subjects used for the limited test were 14 children, for a field trial of 27 children and the effectiveness test of 40 children. Instrument of data collection using questionnaire validation of media expert, material expert validation, response questionnaire and observation result. Data analysis technique of effectiveness test used nonparametric statistic wilcoxon. The results of research teaching model through circuit game has steps in which consist of pre-heating activities, heating activities, core activities, and end activities (cooling) and validation by experts and teachers. The development of the teaching model through circuit game was effective improving gross motor of the child, it is seen value of Sig. (2-tailed) of 0.000 <0.05, it can be concluded that this model is effective to improve gross motor of children aged 4-5 years.
