Abstract

Because of executive function (EF) skills’ importance for social, emotional, and academic success, there is strong interest in supporting their development in early childhood. Efforts to increase the duration and/or intensity of children’s physical activity have been proposed as one promising approach. However, this proposal has been a source of debate, and too few studies have been conducted with young children to support recommendations in early childhood. Here, we provide a critical review of relevant studies. A recurring idea is that children’s fine and gross motor development represents a sequence of goal-directed activities that serve to engage and practice their EF skills. The development of children’s motor skills appears more strongly associated with EF skill development in early childhood than the frequency, duration, or intensity of their physical activity. We integrate these ideas into the larger literature and consider implications for research and practice.

运动技能发展和体育活动对幼儿执行功能技能个体发育的贡献
由于执行功能(EF)技能对社交、情感和学业成功的重要性,人们对支持他们在儿童早期的发展非常感兴趣。有人提出,努力增加儿童体育活动的持续时间和/或强度是一种有希望的方法。然而,这一建议一直是争论的焦点,对幼儿进行的研究太少,无法支持幼儿期的建议。在这里,我们对相关研究进行了批判性的回顾。一个反复出现的想法是,儿童的精细和大体运动发展代表了一系列目标导向的活动,这些活动有助于参与和练习他们的EF技能。儿童运动技能的发展似乎与幼儿期EF技能的发展密切相关,而不是与他们体育活动的频率、持续时间或强度密切相关。我们将这些思想整合到更大的文献中,并考虑对研究和实践的影响。
