“…O movimento para crianças que apresentam dificuldades motoras pode se constituir em um grande desafio, de maneira que determinadas tarefas típicas da infância se tornam bastante difíceis (CAÇOLA et al, 2015;FARHAT et al, 2015). Entre as dificuldades motoras, encontra-se o Transtorno do Desenvolvimento da Coordenação -TDC.…”

“…Crianças com essa característica apresentam atrasos no desenvolvimento das habilidades motoras, prejudicando a realização de atividades escolares e do cotidiano, parecendo desajeitadas ou mesmo atrapalhadas motoramente (CAÇOLA et al, 2015;FARHAT et al, 2015). Esses prejuízos muitas vezes podem estar relacionados com a percepção de baixa autoeficácia, dificuldades de relacionamento e ao baixo interesse em atividades físicas (VALENTINI et al, 2012).…”

Resumo: Introdução: Devido às consequências que o Transtorno do Desenvolvimento da Coordenação -TDC pode trazer para o desenvolvimento da criança nos aspectos motores, afetivos e sociais, há necessidade de investigações com amostras representativas no Brasil. Objetivo: Este estudo objetivou investigar a prevalência do TDC em escolares de 7 a 10 anos de idade. A amostra foi composta por 787 crianças do município de Florianópolis/SC. Método: O desempenho motor foi avaliado por meio da Movement Assessment Battery for Children Second Edition -MABC-2 que classifica o desempenho motor em três: dificuldade, risco e desempenho motor normal. Para as análises, recorreu-se à estatística descritiva (médias, mínimos, máximos, desvio padrão, frequências) e inferencial (teste Quiquadrado, U de Mann-Whitney, Krusskal-Wallis com post-hoc de Dunn). A significância estatística adotada foi de p<0,05. Resultados: A prevalência de dificuldade motora e risco para dificuldade motora foi de 7,1% e 11,3%, respectivamente, e sem dificuldade de movimento foi 81,6%. Ao associar o sexo com as classificações motoras, observou-se que os meninos apresentaram mais dificuldade motora (X 2 = 6,38; p=0,04). As meninas apresentaram mais dificuldade nas habilidades de lançar e receber e os meninos nas habilidades de destreza manual. As crianças na faixa etária de 7 e 8 anos apresentaram prevalências maiores de TDC. Conclusão: A prevalência do transtorno, bem como as diferenças entre os sexos, foi considerada semelhante às evidências apresentadas em pesquisas internacionais.

Prevalence of Developmental Coordination Disorder in a sample of Brazilian childrenAbstract: Introduction: Due the consequences that the Developmental Coordination Disorder -DCD can bring to the development of children in motor, affective and social aspects, a research with representative samples in Brazil becomes needed. Objective: This study aimed to investigate the prevalence of DCD in students aged 7 to 10 years old. The sample consisted of 787 children from the city of Florianópolis/SC. Method: The motor performance was evaluated by the Movement Assessment Battery for Children Second Edition -MABC-2 which ranks the motor performance in three: difficulty, risk and standard motor performance. For analysis we used descriptive statistics (average, minimum, maximum, standard deviation, and frequency) and inferential statistics (Chi-square test, Mann-Whitney, Krusskal-Wallis with post-hoc Dunn). The statistical significance was set on p<0.05. Results: The prevalence of motor difficulty and risk for motor difficulty was 7.1% and 11.3% respectively and with no motor difficulty was 81.6%. By associating sex with motor classifications it was observed that boys had more motor difficulty (X2 = 6.38; p = 0.04). Girls showed more difficulty with the throwing and receiving skills; and the boys with manual dexterity skills. Children aged 7 and 8 years had higher prevalence of DCD. Conclusion: The prevalence of t...

“…According to Ross and colleagues (2016), health is a complex and dynamic construct and impact of disability on daily performance of the individual should be linked with an objective and subjective experience. The prior research studies have found that physical fitness and motor proficiency performance of children with disabilities are significantly lower than in children without disabilities (Einarsson, 2016;Farhat et al, 2015;Foley, Bryan, & McCubbin, 2008;Wagner et al, 2013;Woodmansee et al, 2016;Capio, 2011;Capio, 2015), therefore, control group was not included in the data analyses.…”

This study aimed to explore fundamental motor skills and physical fitness outcomes in the group of children with visual, physical and intellectual disabilities. Alongside the average data outcomes, possible gender differences in all measures were also explored. In addition, the association between the level of movement performance and physical fitness variables was investigated. Participants were 82 elementary school age children with mild to moderate disabilities (mean age 9.6 years). To assess fundamental movement skills (FMS), children completed the Test of Gross Motor Development (TGMD)-2. Physical fitness was measured by the four tasks including 30 m run, sit-ups, functional reach test, sit and reach test and handgrip strength. The average TGMD-2 score for the study group in locomotor skills corresponded to 6.3 years of age (39.3 points), while in object control skills it was at 6.6-7.6 years of age (30.9-36.3 points). The average scores in the fitness tests were 30.1 cm in the functional reach test, 17.1 kg in Handgrip test, 14.0 rep in Sit up test and 6.78 sec in 30 m run. There were no significant differences in physical fitness tests results between boys and girls. The linear regression results presented that TGMD-2 skills significantly predicted 30 m run test [F(2; 161) = 8.965, p = .000]. Data analyses according to the level of movement performance and physical fitness showed significant associations between FMS outcomes and 30 m run test (p < .05). The present study extended the small body of research on the fundamental motor skills of children with different functional limitations while having potential to participate in daily physical activities.

“…Human movement is an expression of human personality, because it associates psychological components and physical structures. A motor skill is a learned sequence of movements that combine to produce a smooth, efficient action in order to become expert in specific goal-directed tasks ( Farhat et al, 2015 ). A child must receive many opportunities to have motor experiences and improve motor coordination in order to develop successfully motor skills.…”

Motor and cognitive growth in children may be influenced by football practice. Therefore the aim of this study was to assess whether a Football Training Program taken over 6 months would improve motor and cognitive performances in children. Motor skills concerned coordinative skills, running, and explosive legs strength. Cognitive abilities involved visual discrimination times and visual selective attention times. Forty-six children with chronological age of ∼9.10 years, were divided into two groups: Group 1 (n = 24) attended a Football Exercise Program and Group 2 (n = 22) was composed of sedentary children. Their abilities were measured by a battery of tests including motor and cognitive tasks. Football Exercise Program resulted in improved running, coordination, and explosive leg strength performances as well as shorter visual discrimination times in children regularly attending football courses compared with their sedentary peers. On the whole these results support the thesis that the improvement of motor and cognitive abilities is related not only to general physical activity but also to specific ability related to the ball. Football Exercise Programs is assumed to be a “natural and enjoyable tool” to enhance cognitive resources as well as promoting and encouraging the participation in sport activities from early development.
