Abstract

Objective

This study seeks to explore the role of children's fundamental movement skills(FMS) within the framework of 24-h Movement Behaviors and executive function(EF)through the application of structural equation modeling (SEM).

Methods

The study employs a cross-sectional design. Apart from sleep data, which was collected via questionnaires, all other data were objectively measured using ActiGraph wGT3-BT accelerometers. EF was assessed using N-Back and Flanker tasks, while FMS was evaluated using the third edition of the test of gross motor development (TGMD-3). Both the isometric log-ratio (ILR) transformation and SEM were conducted using RStudio software.

Results

Overall, 24-h Movement Behaviors predicted children's inhibitory control(IC) reaction time (P = 0.018). FMS significantly predicted both IC and working memory (WM) (P = 0.001). However, the direct impact of 24-h Movement Behaviors on FMS was not significant (P > 0.050). The interaction between FMS and overall, 24-h Movement Behaviors, along with their observed variables significantly promoted the positive development of children's EF (P < 0.050).

Conclusion

Within the 24-h Movement Behaviors framework, FMS did not exhibit its previously established mediating role. However, the interaction between FMS and 24-h Movement Behaviors positively promoted the development of children's EF. This suggests that FMS plays an important regulatory role in the relationship between 24-h Movement Behaviors and EF, which is significant for the overall development of children.

3 ~ 6岁儿童24小时运动行为与执行功能的关系：基本运动技能的中介和调节作用

目的应用结构方程模型（SEM）探讨儿童基本运动技能（FMS）在24小时运动行为与执行功能（EF）框架中的作用。方法本研究采用横断面设计。除睡眠数据通过问卷收集外，所有其他数据均使用ActiGraph wGT3-BT加速计客观测量。EF使用N-Back和Flanker任务进行评估，FMS使用第三版大肌肉运动发展测试（TGMD-3）进行评估。采用RStudio软件进行等距对数比（ILR）变换和扫描电镜分析。结果总体而言，24小时运动行为预测儿童抑制控制反应时间（P = 0.018）。FMS对IC和工作记忆（WM）均有显著预测（P = 0.001）。然而，24小时运动行为对FMS的直接影响不显著(P >；0.050)。FMS与整体24小时运动行为及其观察变量之间的交互作用显著促进了儿童EF的正向发展(P <；0.050)。结论在24小时运动行为框架内，FMS并没有表现出先前确定的中介作用。而FMS与24小时运动行为的交互作用对儿童EF的发展有积极的促进作用。这表明FMS在24小时运动行为与EF的关系中起着重要的调节作用，这对儿童的全面发展具有重要意义。
