“…This finding is consistent with other research results ( 16 ). FMS is a critical factor in school-age children’s ability to play and interact with others, and it is crucial for their future social interaction among peers ( 35 ). Children with poor FMS levels are more likely to withdraw from sports activities, increasing the possibility of relatively poor health ( 36 ).…”

BackgroundThe primary purpose of this study is to analyze the relationship between school-age children’s fundamental movement skills (FMS), physical fitness levels, and the health-related quality of life (HRQoL); To explore the mediating role of physical fitness levels between school-age children’s FMS and HRQoL.MethodsIn the cross-sectional survey in 2021, 334 school-age children aged 6–10 (8.20 ± 1.16) were recruited from primary schools in Jinhua City, Zhejiang Province, China. Test of Gross Motor Development 2 (TGMD-2), National Standards for Students’ Physical Health, and Pediatric Quality of Life Inventory TM Version 4.0 (PedsQL™ 4.0) were used to investigate the FMS, physical fitness level, and HRQoL of school-age children. Hierarchical regression was used to analyze the relationship among FMS, physical fitness levels, and HRQoL. Bootstrap is used to evaluate the mediating role of physical fitness levels in the relationship between FMS and HRQoL.ResultsThe higher the FMS and physical fitness, the higher the school-age children’s HRQoL, physical functioning, social functioning, and school functioning (r = 0.244–0.301, p < 0.01). In addition, developing children’s FMS promotes physical fitness levels (r = 0.358, p < 0.01). The regression analysis results of controlling gender, age, and body mass index z (BMI-z) scores showed that FMS significantly positively predicted the physical functioning (β = 0.319, p < 0.01), social functioning (β = 0.425, p < 0.01), and school functioning (β = 0.333, p < 0.01) of school-age children. When the physical fitness level enters the regression equation, the absolute value of the regression coefficient of FMS decreases. However, it can still significantly predict the physical functioning (β = 0.211, p < 0.01) and school functioning (β = 0.142, p < 0.05) of school-age children. Simple intermediary analysis shows that physical fitness level plays an intermediary role between FMS, physical functioning (indirect effect = 0.089 [95% Confidence interval (CI) = 0.015,0.195]), and school functioning (indirect effect = 0.065 [95% CI = 0.007,0.150]).ConclusionThis study shows that physical fitness levels mediate the relationship between FMS and HRQoL. Encouraging the development of FMS and promoting physical fitness levels of school-age children can effectively improve the HRQoL of school-age children.

Normaliai vaiko raidai įtakos turi ir pakankamas stimulų kiekis aplinkoje, bazinis saugumas, gerai sureguliuota mityba bei poilsio režimas (Capio et al, 2021).

Background. Motor skills are key factors in children’s play and interaction with others and inﬂuence their subsequent social environment with their peers. Poor or atypical motor development may be an important contributing factor to the problems in language, social communication and understanding, and social interaction that characterise some neurodevelopmental disorders. The aim. To assess the functional indexes in children with the retarded speech development and their associations. Methods. 30 children (4 to 6 years old) with retarded speech development. To assess the functional indicators of children with language delay, using the follo wing testing instruments: gross motor skills were assessed with the TGMD-2 test, balance with the modifed Berg scale and the “up and go” test; the coordination test consists of samples which do not require any coordination of balance(according toSchmitz 1988); and fne motor skills were assessed with a standardised test based on the methodology of the Oseretsky test. Results. Children with retarded speech development have difculty in performing a jump with one foot, a jump with a big step or knocking around a ball. The assessment of the object control abilities was lower than that of locomotor abilities. Younger children with retarded speech suﬀered from worse static and dynamic balance and coordination. Signifcant fne motor impairment was found in more than a tenth of children with delayed language development. Conclusions. The gross motor functions in children with retarded speech makes a signifcant impact on the locomotor and object control abilities. Dynamic balance is related to static balance and coordination which does not require any balance, and the fne motor functions aﬀect the object control abilities. Keywords: retarded speech development, balance, fne motor skills, gross motor skills, coordination, children

This study aims to explore the effectiveness of the grab the ball game approach as an alternative method of teaching swimming skills to beginners in physical education. Teaching swimming skills to beginners in physical education is often challenged by the need to create an engaging and effective learning environment for students. This research method uses an experimental approach one group pretest postest with the need for 8 sessions. Swimming skills were assessed before and after the intervention. The research sample was 15 students at Bina Darma University with the category of not able to swim or beginners. Data were collected by measuring test of swimming 50 meters freestyle. Data analysis using paired test between pre-test and post-test with SPSS version 21. Empirical findings show that students who were taught the grab-the-ball approach experienced significant improvements in swimming skills. The resulting t-statistics (23.858 for the pre-test and 19.192 for the post-test) indicate that these differences are very statistically significant, with p-values (Sig.) that are extremely low (p<0.0001). This means that the observed difference between the sample group average and the expected test score is very unlikely to have occurred by chance. Conclusion The results of this study indicate that the grab-the-ball approach can be an effective alternative in teaching swimming skills to beginners in physical education. The implications of these findings highlight the importance of using engaging and playful methods to improve student learning outcomes in swimming skills. Suggestions for future research include extending the research by including a larger sample, which may provide greater statistical power to support research findings in the area of swimming 50 meters freestyle.
