“…Among the four RCTs, significant increases in motor development were observed in the intervention groups (planned passive cycling or structured/organized physical activity) compared to the control groups (standard care) in three studies [ 90 – 92 ]. One intervention involved an infant sample [ 91 ]. In the fourth study, no significant differences in motor development were observed between the intervention (parents received physical activity recommendations from a nurse when their child was an infant) and control (no recommendations) groups [ 40 ]; however, physical activity was not significantly different between groups [ 40 ].…”

Systematic review of the relationships between physical activity and health indicators in the early years (0-4 years)

BackgroundGiven the rapid development during the early years (0-4 years), an understanding of the health implications of physical activity is needed. The purpose of this systematic review was to examine the relationships between objectively and subjectively measured physical activity and health indicators in the early years.MethodsElectronic databases were originally searched in April, 2016. Included studies needed to be peer-reviewed, written in English or French, and meet a priori study criteria. The population was apparently healthy children aged 1 month to 59.99 months/4.99 years. The intervention/exposure was objectively and subjectively measured physical activity. The comparator was various volumes, durations, frequencies, patterns, types, and intensities of physical activity. The outcomes were health indicators ranked as critical (adiposity, motor development, psychosocial health, cognitive development, fitness) and important (bone and skeletal health, cardiometabolic health, and risks/harm). The Grading of Recommendations Assessment, Development, and Evaluation (GRADE) framework was used to assess the quality of evidence for each health indicator by each study design.ResultsNinety-six studies representing 71,291 unique participants from 36 countries were included. Physical activity interventions were consistently (>60% of studies) associated with improved motor and cognitive development, and psychosocial and cardiometabolic health. Across observational studies, physical activity was consistently associated with favourable motor development, fitness, and bone and skeletal health. For intensity, light- and moderate-intensity physical activity were not consistently associated with any health indicators, whereas moderate- to vigorous-intensity, vigorous-intensity, and total physical activity were consistently favourably associated with multiple health indicators. Across study designs, consistent favourable associations with health indicators were observed for a variety of types of physical activity, including active play, aerobic, dance, prone position (infants; ≤1 year), and structured/organized. Apart from ≥30 min/day of the prone position for infants, the most favourable frequency and duration of physical activity was unclear. However, more physical activity appeared better for health. Evidence ranged from “very low” to “high” quality.ConclusionsSpecific types of physical activity, total physical activity, and physical activity of at least moderate- to vigorous-intensity were consistently favourably associated with multiple health indicators. The majority of evidence was in preschool-aged children (3-4 years). Findings will inform evidence-based guidelines.Electronic supplementary materialThe online version of this article (10.1186/s12889-017-4860-0) contains supplementary material, which is available to authorized users.

“…This model reminds us that we must consider individual factors, environmental factors, and task factors understand motor development. The progressive acquisition of skills concerns both mental and motor activities are defined as psychomotor development (José et al, 2015). Infant psychomotor development seeks to provide children with several necessary skills to ensure good school performance (Fisher et al, 2005).…”

This study examines the effect of nutritional status on the gross and fine motor skills development in early childhood. The data were selected randomly using simple random sampling at the Posyandu in East Praya sub-district, Central Lombok, West Nusa Tenggara, Indonesia. The samples were collected 127 children aged 24 to 36 months and their parents as respondents. The regression results showed that nutritional status had positive and significant effect on gross and fine motor skills development of children (adjusted R2 41.8%). The relationship nutritional status with gross and fine motor skills has the correlation value, 0.650 and moderate relationship level. Increasing the nutritional status greatly helps develop gross and fine motor skills development in children during their golden age.

to develop rational regimes of physical activity and to determine their influence on the physical condition of children aged 3-4 years attending preschool institutions of various types. Material: the research was carried out in preschool educational institutions of various types in the city of Dnepr (Ukraine) (№ 282, combined type, № 192, sanatorium type, № 28, compensatory type, № 244 and № 404, general development). One hundred and eighty-five children took part in the research, 103 of them were 3-year-olds and 82-preschoolers of 4-year-old age. Control and experimental groups were formed in each age group in kindergartens of a certain type. The control group consisted of 91 children, the experimental group-94. In the study we used measurements of anthropometry, pulsometry, spirometry, functional tests. The obtained results were processed by independent t-test to evaluate differences between groups. Results: the functional conditions of the children's study of the experimental groups (boys and girls) have positive changes in the spirometry indices, respiration rates, pulsometry, Ruffier index with a significant difference with the control groups (p<0,05). In addition, in the course of our research, the parameters of the motor activity of children 3-4 years were determined on the base of pacing, while carrying out various organizational forms of physical education. These indicators can be oriented towards the development of a rational motor regimen for younger preschool children. Conclusions: the proposed regimes and forms of motor activity can be used in the organization of physical education of children in preschool educational institutions of different types for the improvement of morphofunctional indices and physical activity.
