“…Using the data obtained in the speed tests as a reference and bearing in mind the extracurricular sports activity of the subjects, we noted that those participants who engaged in sports outside school hours obtained significantly better results than those who did not engage in any type of sports activity, both in the limb movement speed tests and in the running speed tests. This positive association supports the findings of other studies [14], emphasizing the importance of extracurricular sports activities for physical fitness in preadolescent children to promote improved motor capacity and the active use of leisure time as well as to reduce the onset of diseases associated with sedentary lifestyles [4].…”

“…Following this line of research, studies conducted with students between 9 and 11 years of age have shown that high academic performance or academic achievement improves as the physical condition of the participants increases [10]. Other research [13] has reported a great difference in the academic achievement of students who participate in extracurricular sports compared to those who do not, with better grades achieved by those who participate in sports activities [2,14]. This is consistent with the conclusions of several systematic reviews [9,15] that report strong evidence of a positive relationship between physical fitness and academic performance in longitudinal studies, demonstrating the association between students' physical capacity, cognitive development and academic results.…”

The main objective of this study was to assess the existence of significant relationships between motor capacity, academic performance and intelligence in a sample of 67 pre-adolescent children, between the ages of 8 and 11 years. Speed tests were carried out (10 × 5 m shuttle run and plate tapping test), and academic grades in Spanish Language and Literature, Mathematics, Natural Sciences, Foreign Language (English) and Physical Education were considered. The Raven test was administered to estimate the intelligence of the subjects. The results showed significant correlations, mainly between the motor capacities and intelligence variables but not with academic performance. Significant differences were also observed in subjects who participated in sports, with better results in motor capacities and intelligence tests compared to those who did not. The data reveal that engaging in intense physical activity and sports in general may improve academic performance.

“…Gymnastic skills need time for training and preparation, and, according to the time available in the school year, it can make it difficult to teach [32]. However, it is shown that gymnastics in general could be a tool to improve the motor skills of children and adolescents, as evidenced by various studies [22,33,34], but it requires a lasting approach over time, an issue that does not seem to be addressed in reality.…”

Physical education should provide the opportunities to progressively integrate motor tasks with different levels of complexity from early ages to adolescence. The objective of this research was to analyze gender differences in the level of achievement of basic acrobatic skills of students of physical activity sciences in their non-university stages. This cross-sectional study with descriptive design was carried out with a total of 675 first-year Spanish university students distributed over eight academic years. An initial test of two acrobatic skills was performed. The instruments used for data collection were a video camera and observation templates. The SPSS 26.0 computer program was used for data analysis. The main results show a poor and insufficient level of technical achievement by both genders, but more pronounced for men. The most deficient phases were those related to extension movements of different segments of the body and movements that require coordination and stability in the descent phases of acrobatics, and men were less flexible in both phases. Non-university training of the content associated with basic gymnastic and acrobatic skills is being deficient within the subject of physical education with a downward trend of not only the development of sports skills but also of physical abilities such as flexibility and strength.

“…American psychologist James proposed the concept of motor coordination when talking about motor skills and coordination. 1 Motor coordination includes the speed of movement, stability, the accuracy of aiming, and coordination of various body parts. B. H. Putov believed that coordination should be the ability of people to do their work quickly, reasonably, effortlessly, and flexibly.…”

Introduction The great difficulty and the high risk are inherent marks of artistic gymnastics. It demands motor coordination of large muscle groups. Objective Improve the training of body coordination control in gymnasts. Methods We randomly selected 16 gymnasts as research volunteers, randomly divided into two groups of the same age distribution. After the training period, a new training protocol was implemented, and motor coordination control was analyzed after this intervention. Results There was no significant difference in a one-sided comparative index (P>0.05). There were statistically significant differences in the balance index and the speed index in the fast touch point direction in the athletes (P<0.01). Compared with the control group, there was a significant difference in the overall test index between the experimental groups (P<0.01). The motor coordination of the experimental group had a significant improvement. Conclusion The techniques of cross-striking, fast pedaling, balance, jump rope, two-handed grip, two-handed dribbling, kicking, and seven other techniques evaluated showed a great relationship with the motor coordination of gymnastics athletes. Level of evidence II; Therapeutic studies - investigation of treatment outcomes.
