Abstract

Background: Studies related to the motor performance of children have suggested an interaction between organisms and the environment. Although motor development seems to be similar among people, the behavior is specific to the context that people are part of. Thus, the aim of this study was to compare the fundamental motor skill performance between indigenous (IN) and nonindigenous children. Methods: One hundred and thirteen children (43 IN and 70 nonindigenous children) between 8 and 10 years of age underwent the Test of Gross Motor Development—2. Results: A multivariate analysis showed a significant group main effect on both locomotor (p < .01) and object control (p < .01) performance with large and medium effect sizes ( values = .57–.40, respectively). The IN showed the highest scores for galloping, hopping, leaping, jumping, sliding, striking a stationary ball, stationary dribbling, catching a ball, kicking, and overhand throwing (p < .01) with small to large effect sizes ( values = .05–.50). Conclusion: The IN presented the highest levels of performance in fundamental motor skills compared with those of nonindigenous children. Most likely, IN have more opportunities for motor development in the environmental context (i.e., villages) where they live.

原住民与非原住民儿童的基本运动技能表现

背景:有关儿童运动表现的研究表明生物体和环境之间存在相互作用。虽然人与人之间的运动发展似乎是相似的，但这种行为是特定于人们所处的环境的。因此，本研究的目的是比较土著儿童和非土著儿童的基本运动技能表现。方法:13名8 ~ 10岁儿童(43名土著儿童和70名非土著儿童)进行了大肌肉运动发展测试。结果:多变量分析显示，组主效应对运动(p < 0.01)和物体控制(p < 0.01)表现均有显著影响，且效应大小为大中型(值= 0.57 -。分别为40)。在IN中，奔跑、跳跃、跳跃、跳跃、滑动、击打静止球、静止运球、接球、踢球和上手投掷得分最高(p < 0.01)，效应值从小到大(值= 0.05 ~ 0.50)。结论:与非土著儿童相比，土著儿童在基本运动技能方面表现出最高的水平。最有可能的是，在他们所生活的环境背景下(即村庄)，儿童有更多的运动发展机会。

期刊介绍： The Journal of Motor Learning and Development (JMLD) publishes peer-reviewed research that advances the understanding of movement skill acquisition and expression across the lifespan. JMLD aims to provide a platform for theoretical, translational, applied, and innovative research related to factors that influence the learning or re-learning of skills in individuals with various movement-relevant abilities and disabilities.
