Abstract:
Objective:To investigate the preschool children’s movement coordination ability in Shanghai and to provide the evidence for formulating a scientific sports strategy
Methods:During May to June of 2018, 9 833 preschool children aged 3-6 years were selected from 174 kindergartens of 4 districts (Jing’an, Pudong, Songjiang and Minhang) in Shanghai. Motor coordination ability was assessed by using Little Developmental Coordination Disorder Questionnaire.
Results:n this study, the total scores of movement coordination ability, motor control, fine motor/writing and general coordination were 67.96±8.44,23.01±2.92,22.85±2.97 and 22.10±3.12，respectively,which gradually increased with age(P<0.01), and girls sorced higher than boys(each P<0.01). The incidence of developmental coordination disorder was 4.4% and the rate of suspected developmental coordination disorder was 7.9%. The incidences of developmental coordination disorder in students in the age group between 3 and 6 were 7.0%，4.7%，3.5% and 2.7% , which gradually decreased with age(χ2=92.04, P<0.01). The incidence rates of boys and girls were 5.3% and 3.4%, respectively，boys had a higher incidence of developmental coordination disorders than that of girls(χ2=31.70, P<0.01).
Conclusion:Preschool children in Shanghai have fine movement coordination ability which varies by age and sex.
