Biomechanics Analysis of Elementary School Students’ Fundamental Movement Skill (FMS)

Abstract

Fundamental movements are part of teaching objectives in the physical education curriculum for elementary schools students. This study aimed to analyze the elementary school students' basic movement skills (FMS) using the kinematic approach. The fundamental movements in this research were correlated with lower body parts, i.e., one leg standing position with closed eyes (non-locomotor), hopping (locomotor), running (locomotor), and kicking (manipulative). This was comparative research that was conducted in a quantitative approach. The random sampling method selected 126 elementary students (75 male and 51 female) aged 8.96 ± 1.50 years old. The kinematic data were collected by using kinematic video analysis in Kinovea 0.9.4 computer software. The independent variables were one leg standing position in second, distance per step (DPS) in centimeter, speed per step (SPS) in meter per second, step height (SH) in centimeter, kicking speed (KS) in meter per second, and estimated maximum distance (MD) in centimeter. All variables were measured both left and right foot. The data were analyzed using descriptive analysis and the Mann-Whitney U test to find the significant difference between gender. The results showed only two independent variables were significantly different. In hopping, there was left foot height (α= 0.044) and left foot speed (α= 0.043). In conclusion, elementary school students aged 8.96 ± 1.50 years old have a similar fundamental movement skill.

“…Proses identifikasi calon atlet elit masa depan penting pada usia sedini mungkin akan membantu menyediakan lingkungan pembinaan dan pelatihan berkualitas tinggi untuk mengoptimalkan perkembangan mereka (Jauhiainen et al, 2019). Salah satunya adalah identifikasi kemampuan gerak dasar siswa yang dapat diukur berdasarkan kategori yang ada (al Ardha et al, 2021). Woods et al, (2016) menyelidiki penilaian multidimensi yang dapat membantu proses identifikasi bakat pada cabang olahraga sepak bola junior Australia (AF) dan mendapatkan hasil bahwa pentingnya menilai kualitas kinerja multi-dimensi ketika mengidentifikasi bakat olahraga tim.…”
