To investigate the effect of gymnastic games intervention on preschoolers'self-control and motor coordination.Methods:A total of 114 preschoolers aged 3-5 years old from two parks of one kindergarten in Hangzhou were selected as the participants(58 preschoolers were randomly assigned into the experimental group).The pre-and post-test design of the quasi-experimental in-equivalent comparison group was adopted,and the experimental group was given 20-30 minutes of gymnastics game intervention for 10 weeks,twice a week,while the control group was given outdoor physical activities.Cognitive self-control,behavioral self-control and motor coordination were measured before and after the intervention.Results:2(times)×2(treatments)repeated measure analysis of variance showed that significant interaction effects favoring the experimental groups were observed for cognitive self-control(F=6.72,P＜0.05,=0.064),while the change of behavioral self-control was not significant(F=0.15,P＞0.05,=0.002);the interaction of manual dexterity and motor coordination were highly significant(Fmanual dexterity=12.48,P＜0.001,=0.11;Fmotor coordination=10.76,P＜0.001,=0.099),the interaction of aiming and catching was significant(F=5.93,P＜0.05,=0.057),but the change of balance was not statistically significant(F=1.10,P＞0.05,=0.011).Conclusions:The intervention of gymnastic games can promote preschoolers'cognitive self-control and motor coordination,manual dexterity hand-eye coordination development.
