Abstract

Background: Preschool is a crucial period for developing motor skills.

Objective: This study evaluated factors associated with motor competence in preschoolers from a Brazilian urban area.

Methods: A total of 211 preschoolers (51.2% girls and 48.8% boys) were evaluated. Body mass index was calculated; the Brazilian Economic Research Criterion, the Mini-Mental Scale (MMC) and the Early Childhood Environment Rating Scale®, Revised (ECERS-R™) were applied; the Habitual Physical Activity time was recorded; the Test of Gross Motor Development (TGMD-2) was performed. Univariate analysis was performed using simple linear regression for the independent variables, considering the motor test subscales as dependent variables. Variables with p < 0.20 in the univariate analysis were considered for the multiple linear regression model and were entered into the stepwise method.

Results: The independent variables remaining in the Standard Score Locomotor model were BMI, presence of park at school, and MMC (R² = 0.16). The independent variables remaining in the Standard Object Control score were MMC and gender (R² = 0.03). The variables associated with the highest scores of Gross Motor Quotient were MMC, body mass index, and presence of a park at school, respectively (R² = 0.11).

Conclusion: Male eutrophic preschoolers who are physically active and attend schools with parks or courtyards in a Brazilian urban area have the highest scores for global cognitive function and motor competence.

巴西城市地区学龄前儿童运动能力的相关因素。

背景：学龄前是发展运动技能的关键时期。目的：本研究评估了巴西城市地区学龄前儿童运动能力的相关因素。方法：对211名学龄前儿童（女生51.2%，男生48.8%）进行评估。计算体重指数；巴西经济研究标准、迷你心理量表（MMC）和幼儿环境评分量表®，修订版（ECERS-R™) 应用；记录习惯性体力活动时间；进行了总运动发育测试（TGMD-2）。采用简单线性回归对自变量进行单变量分析，将运动测试分量表视为因变量。带p的变量结果：标准评分运动模型中保留的自变量是BMI、学校是否有公园和MMC（R2 = 0.16）。标准对象对照评分中保留的自变量为MMC和性别（R2 = 0.03）。与总运动商得分最高相关的变量分别是MMC、体重指数和学校是否有公园（R2 = 0.11）。结论：在巴西城市地区，体育活动和上有公园或庭院的学校的男性营养丰富的学龄前儿童在全球认知功能和运动能力方面得分最高。

期刊介绍： Child & Youth Care Forum is a peer-reviewed, multidisciplinary publication that welcomes submissions – original empirical research papers and theoretical reviews as well as invited commentaries – on children, youth, and families. Contributions to Child & Youth Care Forum are submitted by researchers, practitioners, and clinicians across the interrelated disciplines of child psychology, early childhood, education, medical anthropology, pediatrics, pediatric psychology, psychiatry, public policy, school/educational psychology, social work, and sociology as well as government agencies and corporate and nonprofit organizations that seek to advance current knowledge and practice. Child & Youth Care Forum publishes scientifically rigorous, empirical papers and theoretical reviews that have implications for child and adolescent mental health, psychosocial development, assessment, interventions, and services broadly defined. For example, papers may address issues of child and adolescent typical and/or atypical development through effective youth care assessment and intervention practices. In addition, papers may address strategies for helping youth overcome difficulties (e.g., mental health problems) or overcome adversity (e.g., traumatic stress, community violence) as well as all children actualize their potential (e.g., positive psychology goals). Assessment papers that advance knowledge as well as methodological papers with implications for child and youth research and care are also encouraged.
