“…An in‐depth evaluation of inefficient motor skills would create a profile of a child's abilities and weaknesses so that more customised interventions could be put in place. In addition, postural balance has been associated with better executive and cognitive skills, as well as higher reading, numeracy and reasoning performance 16 . Further research should investigate the direct relationships between postural balance and school readiness.…”

“…For instance, having a proper sitting posture allowed preschool children to achieve better fine motor performance of hand‐related tasks, such as writing and using scissors 14 . This significant correlation between postural balance and motor skills has also been found in older children 15,16 . Despite the importance that postural balance play in the development of motor skills, few studies have documented the association between postural balance and motor skills at this critical age.…”

Aim Our aim was to identify predictors of fine and gross motor skills at 5–6 years of age using postural balance under sensory manipulation. Methods This study was conducted during the 2021–2022 academic year and focused on 112 children from three preschools in Tunisia, with roughly the same socio‐economic status. Postural balance was assessed with their eyes open and closed on both firm and foam surfaces and motor skills were measured using the short version of Bruininks–Oseretsky Test of Motor Proficiency, Second Edition (Bot‐2). Multiple linear regression analysis with stepwise backward selection was used to find a simplified model that best explained the data. Results Postural balance accounted for 11% of the total variation in fine motor skills, except for the eyes open firm condition, 10% of the gross motor skills and about 14% of the total Bot‐2 score. The eyes open foam condition was the only significant contributor to the gross motor skills model and the overall motor score. Conclusion Assessing postural balance assessment at 5–6 years of age may predict motor skills. It may be useful for monitoring early child development and designing physical activity programmes for this age group.

“…The flamingo test was demonstrated to be suitable for measuring youth aged 9 to 17 years [ 33 ]. Amongst the balance tests, the flamingo test results were mostly predicted by strength of the abdominal muscle in pre-adolescent girls [ 34 ]; therefore, it seemed to be the most suitable for horse riders that centre their motor control in the core area. Moreover, the flamingo test showed the highest associations with the other motor abilities and correlated the best with endurance running as compared to the one-leg stance on a low beam and the low-beam walking test.…”

The aim of the study was to analyse the fitness level of young horse riders before and after 12 weeks of training restrictions instituted due to the COVID-19 emergency. Anthropometrical measure assessment and an eight-items fitness test battery were administered to 61 puberal and adolescent female amateur horse riders. Subjects were evaluated within 3 weeks before (pre-tests) the period of training restrictions and on the first day of normal training after it (post-tests). Post-test results showed significant increases in body weight (Z: −1.732; p value: 0.001; ES: −0.157) and BMI (F: 9.918; p value: 0.003; ES: 0.146), whilst the performance in hand grip and abdominal strength, hip mobility, and 10 × 5 m Shuttle and Cooper 12 min tests’ outcomes significantly decreased (F: 29.779; p value: 0.001 F: 29.779; p value: 0.001 F: 29.779; p value: 0.001 F: 29.779; p value: 0.001 F: 29.779; p value: 0.001, respectively). Correlation analysis revealed that riders’ experience was significantly correlated with hand grip (p < 0.01), leg strength (p < 0.01), hip mobility (p < 0.05), and 5 × 10 m Shuttle (p < 0.01) and the Cooper 12 min (p < 0.01) test results. It could be suggested that equestrian activities could produce a higher fitness level in puberal and adolescent riders, whilst home-based, unsupervised, and unattentively planned training during the twelve weeks of training restrictions might be insufficient to maintain it.

“…Vertinant statinę tiriamųjų pusiausvyrą, nenustatyta reikšmingų skirtumų (U = 21; p = 0,011) tarp kūdikystėje ropojusių ir neropojusių vaikų (3 pav.). Nė vienas tiriamasis, mėginęs išlaikyti pusiausvyrą, neviršijo 30 kartų, todėl pagal tyrėjų pateiktas rekomendacijas, galime teigti, jog tiriamųjų pusiausvyra buvo gera (Groselj et al, 2019).…”

Tyrimo pagrindimas. Ropojimo raidos etapas kūdikystėje palengvina kūno padėties suvokimo vystymąsi, o vėliau ir motorinių įgūdžių vystymąsi, taip pat lavina atmintį, pagerina kognityvinę bei socialinę raidą (Xiong ir kt., 2018). Tikslas – nustatyti vaikų motorinių gebėjimų ir kognityvinių funkcijų sąsajas su bendrosios motorikos ropojimo funkcija. Metodai. 22 sveiki tiriamieji (4–6 metų amžiaus) pagal tėvų pateiktos apklausos atsakymus, suskirstyti į dvi grupes: nepraleidusius ir praleidusius ropojimo raidos etapą kūdikystėje. Visiems tiriamiesiems buvo vertintas funkcinis liemens stabilumas, pusiausvyra, koordinacija (šokinėjimas įvairiomis kryptimis, kamuolio gaudymas ir kamuolio spyrimas) bei kognityvinės funkcijos. Rezultatai. 85 proc. ropojusių vaikų turėjo funkciškai nestabilų liemenį, neropojusiųjų grupėje – 78 proc., skirtumas statistiškai reikšmingas. Kūdikystėje ropojimo nepraleidę vaikai pusiausvyrą bandė išlaikyti vidutiniškai tris kartus, ropojimą praleidę – 10 kartų (p < 0,05). Vertindami koordinacinių gebėjimų užduočių atlikimą, nustatėme, kad tiek kūdikystėje ropojusių, tiek neropojusių vaikų šokinėjimo įvairiomis kryptimis ir kamuolio metimo koordinacija vertinama gerai, tačiau kamuolio spyrimo – patenkinamai. Ropojusių (89 proc.) ir neropojusių (78 proc.) vaikų dėmesio pastovumas vertinamas, atitinkamai – labai geras ir geras. Kūdikystėje nepraleidusių ropojimo vaikų raidos etapo grupėje, kamuolio gaudymas buvo tiesiogiai ir vidutiniškai stipriai susijęs su kamuolio spyrimo užduotimi (r = 0,556; p = 0,048). Išvados. Tiriamieji, kurie kūdikystėje praleido ropojimo raidos etapą, atsistojo anksčiau. Vaikai, nepraleidę ropojimo raidos etapo kūdikystėje, pasižymėjo geresne pusiausvyra, tačiau koordinaciniai gebėjimai, funkcinis liemens stabilumas bei gebėjimas koncentruoti dėmesį nesiskyrė nuo vaikų, kurie kūdikystėje praleido ropojimo funkciją Raktažodžiai: vaikų motoriniai gebėjimai, kognityvinės funkcijos, ropojimas.
