Introduction: Children with CHARGE syndrome often show delays in balance and motor skills due to multisensory impairments. Research also suggests that children with CHARGE syndrome have fewer opportunities to engage in physical activity. However, little research has examined the relationship among all of these variables. Thus, the purpose of this study was to examine the relationship between balance, motor skills, and physical activity. Methods: Participants consisted of 37 children with CHARGE syndrome aged 3–16 years who could walk independently. Parents of each child with CHARGE syndrome completed a demographics questionnaire and the Physical Activity Questionnaire for Children or Adolescents. Their child completed the Mini-BEST balance test and five motor skills (run, jump, slide, kick, and throw) from the Test of Gross Motor Development II. Results: Results indicate that anticipatory control had significant positive correlations with all five motor skills, sensory orientation with three motor skills, and reactive postural control and dynamic gait with two motor skills. Running was the only variable that had a significant positive correlation with physical activity. Discussion: The findings indicate that balance, especially anticipatory control, plays an important role in fundamental motor skills of children with CHARGE syndrome. There is also a strong connection between physical activity and running competence for this population; however, since this is based on a correlational analysis, the direction of the relationship is unclear. Implications for practitioners: Physical education teachers should work with students with CHARGE syndrome on increasing balance and motor skill performance to give them the competence and confidence to engage in physical activity. Moreover, parents can help by engaging in physical activity with their child at an early age and seeking out additional physical activity opportunities for their child outside of the physical education and school setting.

CHARGE 综合征儿童运动技能、平衡和身体活动之间的关系

简介：CHARGE 综合征儿童由于多感觉障碍，常常表现出平衡和运动技能的延迟。研究还表明，患有 CHARGE 综合征的儿童参加体育活动的机会较少。然而，很少有研究检查所有这些变量之间的关系。因此，本研究的目的是检查平衡、运动技能和身体活动之间的关系。方法：参与者包括 37 名 3-16 岁可以独立行走的 CHARGE 综合征儿童。每个 CHARGE 综合征儿童的父母都完成了一份人口统计问卷和儿童或青少年体育活动问卷。他们的孩子完成了 Mini-BEST 平衡测试和大运动发展测试 II 中的五项运动技能（跑、跳、滑、踢和投掷）。结果：结果表明，预期控制与所有五种运动技能、感觉定向与三种运动技能以及反应性姿势控制和动态步态与两种运动技能均显着正相关。跑步是唯一与体力活动呈显着正相关的变量。讨论：研究结果表明，平衡，尤其是预期控制，在 CHARGE 综合征儿童的基本运动技能中起着重要作用。该人群的体育活动和跑步能力之间也有很强的联系；但是，由于这是基于相关性分析，因此关系的方向尚不清楚。对从业者的影响：体育教师应与 CHARGE 综合征学生一起提高平衡和运动技能的表现，使他们有能力和信心参与体育活动。此外，父母可以通过在孩子很小的时候与他们一起参加体育活动，并在体育教育和学校环境之外为他们的孩子寻找额外的体育活动机会来提供帮助。
