ABSTRACT

This study aim was to determine whether a structured age-appropriate playing programme with involvement of parents could promote healthy motor skills in preschool children. In this two group randomization pre-posttest quasi-experimental study, 160 children 3–5 years-old with their mothers were selected and equally allocated in two groups. For intervention group, four theoretical and 20 practical sessions in five groups of 6–8 participants, consisting of mothers and children of the same age, was conducted. After intervention, the gross and fine motor skills of intervention group were promoted (p < 0.05). The study results provide positive evidence about creating opportunities to practice of age-appropriate play in childhood, especially with parental engagement and support, on motor development.

摘要

本研究旨在确定一个有父母参与的适合年龄的结构化游戏计划是否可以促进学龄前儿童的健康运动技能。在这两组随机化前后测准实验研究中，选择了 160 名 3-5 岁的儿童及其母亲，并平均分配在两组中。对于干预组，由同龄的母亲和儿童组成的五组 6-8 人参加了 4 次理论课和 20 次实践课。干预后，干预组大、精细运动技能得到提升（p  < 0.05）。研究结果提供了积极的证据，证明了在儿童时期创造适合年龄的游戏的机会，特别是在父母的参与和支持下，对运动发育的影响。
