Abstract:
Objective:To investigate the relationship between fundamental movement skills(FMS) and physical-related fitness(PF) in 5-6 aged children in Beijing and to provide the corresponding theoretical basis for the further development of the scien tific research work of children sports activities.
Methods:M-ABC-2(Movement Assessment Battery for Children-2)was used to assess FMS of the children aged 5-6 in 3 kindergartens of Beijing; “National Physical Fitness test Standards Manual-Preschool Part” was used as the standard for assessment of children’s PF; Canonical Correlation Analysis was used to analyze the relationship between FMS and PF.
Results:A total of 107 children’s complete data were obtained. The overall development level of 5-6 yearold children’s physical fitness could positively predict their the manual dexterity (B=0.24, P<0.05); In the test of individual PF, the muscle strength and balance ability exhibited by the tennis throwing and walking balance wood were also strongly correlated with the manual dexterity (r=0.43, P<0.01), and the standing long jump and the continuous jump of both feet also showed a positive correlation with the manual dexterity (r=0.35, P<0.05).
Conclusion:There is a certain relationship between the PF and FMS of children aged 5-6. The development of coordination and stability will play a positive role in promoting the development of their FMS. At the same time, parents and teachers should pay attention to the development of children's fine motor skills to promote their overall healthy growth.
