“…Jumping is one of the most popular tests, which is also the natural movement that is recreated in many movement games and popular play [ 28 ]. In the preschool period, this ability is still developing but is expected to be achieved [ 29 ]. This research, focused on preschool children’s ability to jump, shows the different tests used to measure this task.…”

The preschool period is characterised by the improvement in motor skills. One of the developmental tasks in children is the ability to jump. Jumping plays an important role in the development of leg strength and balance. It is the gateway to more complex movements. In the physiotherapy clinic, we see a lot of difficulties in jumping performance in 5–7-year-old children. The aim of this study is to present the jumping ability, assessed by the Motor Proficiency Test (MOT) and the G-sensor examination of the vertical countermovement jump (CMJ) and countermovement jump with arms thrust (CMJAT) parameters. A total of 47 children (14 boys and 33 girls) were randomly recruited. The mean age was 5.5 years. The mean height was 113 cm and the mean weight was 19.7 kg. The children were divided into two groups according to their results. Children with low basic motor skills have the greatest difficulty with jumping tasks. In the CMJ jump, the take-off force was lower than in the CMJAT (p = 0.04). Most CMJAT parameters correlate with age, weight, and height. Height correlates most with children’s jumping performance. This study may be useful for sport educators and developmental researchers. The topic should be further explored and the CMJ and CMJAT parameters may be established as a basis.

This study aimed to evaluate the 2022 Vietnam SEA Games National Program. This research used a qualitative design with an evaluation approach using the Context model, Input, Process, and Product (CIPP). The data of this study were the triangulation of questionnaires, interviews, document studies and observations. The 37 provincial sports branches and a sample of 300 athlete respondents represented each sport by random sampling. Data were analysed using description frequency analysis, particularly SPSS. This study focused on investigating four types of evaluation (i.e., Context, Input, Process, and Product Evaluation). Concerning the Context Evaluation, the research results show that the program has a solid legal and policy foundation, government goals and objectives, but it has yet to be on target. Regarding the Input Evaluation, the results show that participants, organising, financing, and committees need to be carried out correctly and improved following the development of the national potential young athlete training centre every year. Moreover, the results of the Process Evaluation indicate that sports match rules should constantly be updated following the development of the Vietnam SEA Games National Plate 2022; the implementation of the matches still needs to be adequately maximised. In addition, the results of the Product Evaluation indicate increasing public participation and interest in the implementation of national potential young athlete training centres every year, the role of the media in the publication and promotion of sports to the public is further expanding and the search for potential athletes from the community should be optimised. Based on the illustration, it is assumed that the mechanism process of the 2022 Vietnam SEA Games National Training Centre refers to the achievements obtained by athletes at the national level.
