| Background: Executive function plays an important role in the healthy development of preschool children.Good executive function of children is the foundation of correct cognition.Sports are safe,maneuverable and cost-effective.A considerable number of studies have proved that sports can improve executive function to a certain extent.However,at present,most studies in this field focus on children,adolescents,special groups and the elderly,and researchers lack attention to preschool children.Although researchers have demonstrated the difference in effects of different exercise methods,there has been no discussion about parent-child wushu exercise,and few subjects have been followed up further.In this study,the longitudinal tracking method was adopted to conduct 12 weeks of parent-child martial arts exercise intervention for preschool children aged 4-6 years,to explore the influence of parent-child martial arts exercise on the executive function of preschool children and the follow-up effect,so as to provide theoretical and practical basis for the martial arts education of preschool children.Objects and Methods: In this study,30 preschoolers aged 4-6 years were recruited from the Red Yellow Blue Parent-Child Activity Center of Hejin City and Belledo Kindergarten of Hejin City,Shanxi Province,meeting the inclusion and exclusion criteria.After the recruitment,children were randomly divided into parent-child wushu exercise group and blank control group.During the 12-week exercise intervention,children in the parent-child martial arts exercise group were given two additional parent-child martial arts exercise courses every week in addition to the normal teaching content in kindergarten.Each class lasts for 60 minutes,and the preparation part lasts for 10 minutes,mainly to warm up the body;The basic exercise lasts for 40 minutes,mainly for parent-child wushu sports;The end section is 10 minutes long and consists of games and relaxation exercises.The control group did not carry out any regular exercise items during this period,and studied as usual according to the normal teaching content of kindergarten.The subjects were followed up again 12 weeks after the intervention.Executive function indicators and parent-child relationship questionnaire were tested before intervention,after intervention and during follow-up.Statistical analysis software "SPSS26.0" was used for statistical analysis of all the data collected from the experimental test.Results:1.Accuracy of inhibition control.Before exercise intervention,the difference between the two groups was not significant(p<0.05).After 12 weeks of exercise intervention,compared with pre-test,there was a significant difference in the parentchild wushu exercise group(p<0.01),but no significant difference in the control group(p<0.05).The difference between the two groups was significant(p<0.01).12 weeks later,compared with the follow-up test,the parent-child wushu exercise group had significant difference(p<0.05),but the control group had no significant difference(p<0.05).At follow-up,the difference between the two groups was significant(p<0.01).2.When the control response is suppressed.Before exercise intervention,the difference between the two groups was not significant(p<0.05).After 12 weeks of exercise intervention,compared with pre-test,there was a significant difference in the parent-child wushu exercise group(p<0.01),but no significant difference in the control group(p<0.05).The difference between the two groups was significant(p<0.01).12 weeks later,compared with the follow-up test,the parent-child wushu exercise group had significant difference(p<0.05),but the control group had no significant difference(p<0.05).At follow-up,the difference between the two groups was significant(p<0.01).3.Accuracy rate of working memory.Before exercise intervention,the difference between the two groups was not significant(p<0.05).After 12 weeks of exercise intervention,compared with pre-test,there was no significant difference between parent-child wushu exercise group(p<0.05),there was no significant difference in control group(p<0.05).In the post-test,the difference between the two groups was not significant(p<0.05).12 weeks later,there was no significant difference between the parent-child wushu exercise group and the post-test(p<0.05),there was no significant difference in control group(p<0.05).At follow-up,the difference between the two groups was not significant(p<0.05).4.Working memory reaction time.Before exercise intervention,the difference between the two groups was not significant(p<0.05).After 12 weeks of exercise intervention,compared with pre-test,there was a significant difference in the parentchild wushu exercise group(p<0.01),but no significant difference in the control group(p<0.05).The difference between the two groups was significant(p<0.01).12 weeks later,compared with the follow-up test,the parent-child wushu exercise group had significant difference(p<0.05),but the control group had no significant difference(p<0.05).At follow-up,the difference between the two groups was significant(p<0.01).5.Correct rate of cognitive flexibility.Before exercise intervention,the difference between the two groups was not significant(p<0.05).After 12 weeks of exercise intervention,compared with pre-test,there was a significant difference in the parentchild wushu exercise group(p<0.01),but no significant difference in the control group(p<0.05).The difference between the two groups was significant(p<0.01).12 weeks later,compared with the follow-up test,the parent-child wushu exercise group had significant difference(p<0.05),but the control group had no significant difference(p<0.05).At follow-up,the difference between the two groups was significant(p<0.01).6.Cognitive flexibility response time.Before exercise intervention,the difference between the two groups was not significant(p<0.05).After 12 weeks of exercise intervention,compared with pre-test,there was a significant difference in the parentchild wushu exercise group(p<0.01),but no significant difference in the control group(p<0.05).The difference between the two groups was significant(p<0.01).12 weeks later,compared with the follow-up test,there was a significant difference in the parentchild wushu exercise group(p<0.01),but no significant difference in the control group(p<0.05).At follow-up,the difference between the two groups was significant(p<0.01).7.Indicators of parent-child relationship.Before exercise intervention,the difference between the two groups was not significant(p<0.05).After 12 weeks of exercise intervention,compared with pre-test,there was significant difference in the parent-child wushu exercise group(p<0.05),but no significant difference in the control group(p<0.05).The difference between the two groups was significant(p<0.05).12 weeks later,compared with the follow-up test,there was a significant difference in the parent-child wushu exercise group(p<0.01),but no significant difference in the control group(p<0.05).At follow-up,the difference between the two groups was significant(p<0.01). |
