Physical Activity, Motor Ability, and School Readiness of 6-Yr.-Old Children

Relationship between School Physical Activity and Academic Performance of Children

“…Several studies did not find any statistically significant correlations (Daly & Ryan, 2000;Fisher et al, 1996). A number of research studies could not establish a positive association between academic performance and physical activity (Lindner, 2002;Oja & Jurimae, 2002;Sanders et al, 2000). Yu et al (2006) researched 333 Hong Kong children and revealed that physical activity level was quite an independent entity.…”

“…During this period of time, a number of studies investigated the relationship between the type or level of physical activities or physical abilities and academic performances of school children. These included academic performance and balance skills (Knight & Rizzuto, 1993), dietary behaviours and physical status (Oh et al, 2003), participation in physical activity programs (Symons et al, 1997;Daly & Ryan, 2000;Lindner, 2002;Blakemore, 2003), exercise volume (Field et al, 2001;Pate et al, 1996;Harper, 1992), sports participation (Fisher et al, 1996;Harrison & Gopalakrishnan, 2003;Sanders et al, 2000;Lindner 1999), sport knowledge and sport performance (Dexter, 1999), physical activity and motor ability (Oja & Jurimae, 2002), motor performance (Kirkendall, 1986), enhanced physical education (National Association for Sport and Physical Education & Council of Physical Education for Children, 2001), physical activity and self-esteem (Tremblay et al, 2000), physical activity and fitness (Dwyer, et al, 2001;Grissom 2005;California Department of Education, 2002), enhanced physical activity (Scheuer & Mitchell, 2003),…”

“…The method of data collection ranged from single questionnaires (Oh et al, 2003;Sanders et al, 2000;Daley & Ryan, 2000;Field et al, 2001;Fisher et al, 1996;Harrison & Gopalakrishnan, 2003;Lindner, 1999;Lindner, 2002;Pate et al 1996), to parent and teacher report (Oja & Jurimae;, motor skills assessment (Knight & Rizzuto, 1993), teacher scores (Dexter, 1999), literature review (Kirkendall, 1986;Blakemore, 2003; The President's Council on Physical Fitness and Sports, 1999). Several studies further examined relationships between physical activity, self-esteem, body-mass index and academic achievement (Tremblay, 2000;Harper, 1992), scholastic performance, physical activity and fitness (Dwyer et al, 2001).…”

Cardiorespiratory effects of project energize: a whole-of region primary school nutrition and physical activity programme in New Zealand in 2011 and 2015

“…Accountability both to children and funders (taxpayers) is required [10]. Frequently, changes in body mass index (BMI) alone have been used as the basis of such evaluations [11], however, an indicator of cardiorespiratory fitness, such as speed of running is also a marker of child health, [12] (particularly metabolic health), growth and development [13] and quality and quantity of physical activity [14,15]. Given that evidence of effectiveness is poor in interventions incorporating physical activity, [16] an opportunity exists to utilise cardiorespiratory fitness data as a tool to effectively monitor and evaluate public-health interventions aimed at children.…”

Uticaj Posebno Programirane Nastave Korektivne Gimnastike Na Neke Motoričke Sposobnosti Dece Starijeg Školskog Uzrasta

“…Motoričke veštine mogu da se savladaju samo ako učenik poseduje osnovne sposobnosti, međutim, čovek može da poseduje osnovne sposobnosti, ali ne i da savlada određenu motoričku veštinu (Blank & Hermsdörfer, 2009;Müürsepp, Gapeyeva, & Pääsuke, 2012;Scott, Barbosa, Pan, & Heathcock, 2021). Kada se govori o fizičkom vežbanju naročito kod dece važno je da u njemu preovladavaju prirodni oblici kretanja i da se ono može prilagoditi sposobnostima svakog deteta, a zatim uticati na unapređenje njegovih motoričkih sposobnosti (Oja & Jürimäe, 2002;Giles et al, 2018). Sam predmet istraživanja je utvrditi efekat primene programa korektivne gimnastike na transformaciju motoričkih sposobnosti.…”
