This study investigates motor fitness (MF), fundamental movement skills (FMS), and functional movement screen (FMS™) in 7-10-year-old children, and evaluates the relationship between FMS?MF and FMS™ combination with Seefeldt`s model for empirical research, thus to present effective strategies of physical development in children. A class was randomly selected in four school grades (1-4) along with 30 students from each to take the Test of Gross Motor Development-2 (TGMD-2). A total of 117 children (42 girls, aged 7-10) participated in three tests: TGMD-2, MF tests, and FMS™. MF levels (good, fair, and poor) and FMS™ levels (high, moderate, and low) were classified according to specific percentile ranges. A multiple (R×C) chi-square test analysis of the relationship between MF, FMS, and FMS™ was applied and post hoc testing estimated the possibility of FMS and FMS™ predicting MF. The results showed that only 43% of children were rated “good” on MF. Most fourth-grade students exhibited a certain gap with mature FMS (TGMD-2 score 70.13±9.68< 96 full scores). Boys scored significantly higher on the object control subtest and the TGMD-2 total score compared to girls (p<0.001), while girls had a significantly greater score than boys on the FMS™ ( p =0.001). The results of multiple chi-square demonstrated FMS to be weakly correlated with MF, χ 2 (4,N=117) =14.605, p =0.006< 0.01, Cramer’s V = 0.25. Both 60.5% of “excellent” FMS and 59.6% of “high” FMS™ children were categorized as having a “good” MF level. On the other hand, only 23.1% of the “worst” FMS and 24.3% of “low” FMS™ individuals were classified as having a “good” MF level. Our results suggest that MF, FMS, FMS™ are relatively independent systems linking with each other, generating mutual interaction in children’s motor development. At different stages or different advantages of them motor development, we may emphasize training one or a few parts.

小学生运动适应性，基本运动技能与功能运动屏幕的关系

这项研究调查了7-10岁儿童的运动适应性（MF），基本运动技能（FMS）和功能性运动屏幕（FMS™），并评估了FMS？MF和FMS™与Seefeldt的组合之间的关系。实验研究的模型，从而提出儿童身体发育的有效策略。从四个学校等级（1-4）中随机选择一个班级，并从每个班级中选出30名学生参加“总运动发展测试2（TGMD-2）”。共有117名儿童（42名女孩，年龄7至10岁）参加了三项测试：TGMD-2，MF测试和FMS™。MF水平（好，中等和差）和FMS™水平（高，中和低）根据特定的百分比范围进行了分类。MF，FMS之间关系的多重（R×C）卡方检验分析，并且应用了FMS™，事后测试评估了FMS和FMS™预测MF的可能性。结果表明，只有43％的孩子在MF上被评为“好”。大多数四年级学生与成熟的FMS表现出一定差距（TGMD-2得分70.13±9.68 <96满分）。与对象相比，男孩在对象控制子测试和TGMD-2总评分上的得分明显高于女孩（p <0.001），而女孩在FMS™上的得分明显高于男孩（p = 0.001）。多个卡方的结果表明FMS与MF弱相关，χ2（4，N = 117）= 14.605，p = 0.006 <0.01，Cramer V = 0.25。60.5％的“优秀” FMS和59.6％的“高” FMS™儿童均被归类为“良好” MF水平。另一方面，只有“最差” FMS中的23.1％和24。3％的“低” FMS™个人被归类为具有“良好” MF水平。我们的研究结果表明，MF，FMS，FMS™是相互关联的相对独立的系统，在儿童的运动发育中产生相互作用。在运动发展的不同阶段或不同优势下，我们可能会强调训练一个或几个部分。
