The Effect of Playing Bridge Beams on the Coordination and Balance of the Body of Early Childhood

Abstract

This study aims to determine the effect of playing bridge beams on the coordination and balance of the body of children aged 5 - 6 years. The research subjects were children aged 5 - 6 years in Raudhatul Athfal (Kindergarten School) Munawwarus Sholeh of Situbondo district. The research approach used is a quantitative approach with a quasi-experimental design. Research data was obtained through tests given to children and documentation taken at the time of the study. Data analysis techniques in this study using independent sample t-test. The results of the data analysis show the number sig. 0,000 > 0,050, it shows that the null hypothesis is rejected so that it can be concluded that there is the influence of playing the bridge beams on the coordination and balance of the body of children aged 5-6 years.

Fundamental Movement Skills and Accelerometer-Measured Physical Activity Levels during Early Childhood: A Systematic Review

“…All articles included static balance tests that required the children to balance on one leg. Some articles ( n = 11) reported this simply on a firm surface with eyes open [ 32 , 34 , 62 , 63 , 64 , 65 , 66 , 67 , 68 , 69 , 70 ]. Stankovic and Radenkovic [ 71 ] also asked children to stand on a single leg on a firm surface, repeating this with their eyes closed.…”

“…Twelve articles used time, in seconds, as the outcome measure for the single-leg tests [ 63 , 64 , 65 , 66 , 67 , 68 , 69 , 71 , 72 , 73 , 76 ]. The range of time the single-leg stance was maintained for on a hard surface with eyes open ranged from 6.67 s [ 63 ] to 87.6 s [ 65 ], with eyes closed, 6.9 s was the lowest outcome [ 71 ] with 33.62 s being the highest [ 73 ]. Three articles used point scores to measure the outcome of the balance, including Adamovic et al [ 62 ], Guffey et al [ 32 ] and Venetsanou and Kambas [ 35 ].…”

“…The synthesis of balance data in the current review was difficult as there was such a wide and varying array of methodologies, measures and outcomes, and a lack of a standardised approach should be considered as a limitation for this field of research. Fujinaga [ 65 ] reported children holding a single-leg stance for an average of over 87 s, while Amelia et al [ 63 ] reported an average of children holding the stance for only 6.67 s. These large differences in time held by the children show why there is a lack of consensus on the expected balance achievement of children this age. Results based around achieving points tended to require children to hold the stance for only up to 10 s, with maximum points achieved for this time [ 32 , 62 , 68 ].…”

Analisis Kecemasan Ibu terhadap Pembelajaran Fisik Motorik Anak Usia Dini di Masa Pandemi Covid-19

“…Pada pembelajaran fisik motorik anak tidak hanya mengenai motorik halus saja namun juga motorik kasar (Mayar et al, 2022;Tanto & Sufyana, 2020). Pada pengembangan motorik kasar anak membutuhkan ruang gerak dan kegiatan yang bervariasi (Asmuddin et al, 2022;Suryadinata & Sukarno, 2019) Variasi kegiatan ini agar anak tidak merasa bosan dalam menjalankan kegiatan pembelajaran tersebut (Amelia et al, 2019;Maulin et al, 2019) Kesulitan pembelajaran pengembangan fisik motorik secara daring tidak hanya dialami oleh guru, namun oleh orang tua terutama ibu. Menurut Gade (2012) peran ibu dalam pendidikan anak lebih besar daripada peran seorang ayah.…”
