Objective: Based on Newell s Model of Constraints, the present study aims to explore the effects of sports environment design on children s fundamental movement skills, and to provide certain theoretical and practical guidance for promoting children s movement development and carrying out sports activities. Methods: From March to June 2022, using the method of cluster sampling, 153 typical developmental children from a private kindergarten in Xi an were selected, and were randomly assigned to the regular activity group, sports division A group, and sports division B group for a period of 12 weeks (twice a week, 1 hour each time) experimental intervention. Among them, the regular activity group engaged in regular physical activities according to the kindergarten plan; the sports division A group participated in daily physical activities after the sports division; and the sports division B group engaged in structured and autonomous physical activities after the sports division. Motorische Basiskompetenzen in Kindergarten (MOBAK-KG) scale was used to assess the level of fundamental movement skills. Chi square test, one way analysis of variance and repeated measures analysis of variance were used to test the effects of sports environment design on children s fundamental movement skills. Results: After the experiment, children s manipulative skills，mobility skills, and fundamental movement skills improved significantly ( P ＜0.01); group and test time had a significant interaction on children s fundamental movement skills [ F (2,150) =113.07, P ＜0.01, η 2=0.60]，the posttest score of fundamental movement skills of children in group B of sports division (12.08±1.82) was significantly higher than that of group A of sports division (10.71±2.56), regular activity group (8.57±4.16). Conclusion The sports environment design under the constraint model perspective can effectively promote the development of children s fundamental movement skills. Kindergartens, families and communities should coordinate to promote the development of children s fundamental movement skills.
