Abstract

The purpose of this study was to assess the level of gross motor development among children based on ethnic differences. A total of 49 subjects aged between 8 to 9 years old were volunteered involve in this study (age, 8.55 ± .50 years old). There are two Malaysian ethnic involved in this study namely Malay (n = 28) and Indian (n = 21). All of the subjects are among students in one of the primary schools in Petaling Jaya, Malaysia. The subjects’ level of gross motor development was assessed using the Test of Gross Motor Development version 2 (TGMD-2). The instrument was used to examine two important aspects of gross motor that are locomotor and object manipulation. The locomotor component skills consist of running, galloping, hopping, leaping, jumping and sliding. While the object manipulation component consists of striking, dribbling, catching, kicking, throwing and rolling. The findings showed that there were no differences observed on level of gross motor development between Malay and Indian in locomotor [t (46) = .524, p (.60)> .05] and object manipulation [t (44.09) = -1.45, p (.19)> .05]. The Gross Motor Quotient (GMQ) score showed by Malay (min = 87.46) and Indian (min = 81.00) are below average of level of gross motor development. In conclusion, the gross motor performance among children is lower compared to their actual age. While ethnic factors are not strong indicator to determine children’s gross motor development in Malaysia.
儿童大肌肉运动发展的种族差异
本研究的目的是评估基于种族差异的儿童大肌肉运动发展水平。共有49名年龄在8 ~ 9岁的志愿者参与本研究(年龄8.55±0.50岁)。本研究涉及两个马来西亚民族,即马来人(n = 28)和印度人(n = 21)。所有的研究对象都是马来西亚八打灵查亚一所小学的学生。采用大肌肉运动发展量表第2版(TGMD-2)评估受试者大肌肉运动发展水平。该仪器用于检查大肌肉运动的两个重要方面,即运动和物体操作。运动组成技能包括跑、跑、跳、跳、跳和滑。而物体操作部分则包括击球、运球、接球、踢球、投掷和滚动。结果显示,马来人与印度人的大肌肉运动发展水平在运动[t (46) = .524, p(.60)> .05]和物体操作[t (44.09) = -1.45, p(.19)> .05]方面无显著差异。马来人(min = 87.46)和印度人(min = 81.00)的大动作商(GMQ)得分低于大动作发展水平的平均水平。总之,儿童的大肌肉运动表现低于他们的实际年龄。然而种族因素并不是决定马来西亚儿童大肌肉运动发展的有力指标。
