The Relationship Between Fundamental Movement Skills And Physical-related Fitness In 3-6 Aged Children

Objective: To investigate the relationship between fundamental movement skills FMS and physical-related fitness in 3-6 aged children.And explore the influence of family objective factors on the relationship between the FMS and physical-related fitness,in order to cause parents and teachers to pay more attention to the development of children's FMS and the level of physical fitness,and then provide effective interventions for families or kindergartens to promote children's ability.It also can provide a theoretical basis for researcher's further research.Methods: Movement Assessment Battery for Children-2(MABC-2)was used to assess children's FMS;“National Physical Fitness Test Standards Manual-Preschool Part” was used as the standard for assessment of children's physical-related fitness;the Family Objective Environmental Questionnaire was used to test children's parents.Result: A total of 172 children's complete data are obtained.The development of children's FMS and physical fitness have been significantly improved with age(P<0.05).Gender factors have a certain impact on young children.In terms of FMS scores,female children's manual dexterity is stronger than male children(P=0.02),while male children's aiming and coaching is stronger than female children(P=0.05);In the test of physical fitness,the upper limb and waist strength and flexibility of female children are better than those of male children(P=0.05,0.04).There is a positive correlation between 3-6 years old children's physical fitness and FMS(r=0.15,P=0.05),and the higher the physical fitness ability of the children,the better the manual dexterity(r=0.17,P <0.05).In the test of individual physical fitness,the muscle strength and balance ability exhibited by the tennis throwing and walking balance wood are also strongly correlated with the manual dexterity and aiming andcoaching.There is no influence of family objective factors on children's FMS.Some family objective factors have influence on children's physical fitness.The children who is took care of mother has the higher score on physical fitness compare with those children who are took care of their grandmother or grandfather(?=-0.27,P=0.00;?=-0.38,P=0.00).Also,the father who has the higher degree their children's physical fitness score is higher(?=-0.25,P=0.00;?=-0.29,P=0.00).Conclusion: 3-6 years old is a crucial period for the development of children's FMS and physical fitness.During this period,the children's abilities have been rapidly improved.There is a positive correlation between the FMS and physical fitness.The improvement of children's FMS guarantees the participation of children's physical activity and promotes the rapid development of their physical fitness.The improvement of physical fitness can also promote the development of FMS.Parents and teachers should fully recognize the importance of the development of children's FMS and physical fitness,and create a good sports atmosphere for young children.
