An Experimental Study on the Influence of Happy Gymnastics on the Development of Gross Motor Skills in 5-6-Year-Old Children
OBJECTIVE:Despite improvements in childhood obesity and weak eyesight facilitated by national,societal,school,and familial efforts in China,the issue of physical health still requires attention.This study seeks to explore the impact of Happy Gymnastics intervention on monitoring the development of gross motor skills in children,aiming to identify effective pathways for children's exercise to enhance their physical fitness.METHOD:Employing literature review,expert interviews,the Delphi method,experimental techniques,video observation,and statistical analysis,an 18-week Happy Gymnastics intervention was conducted on 5-6 year-old children to investigate its effects on gross motor skill development.RESULTS and CONCLUSION:Happy Gymnastics demonstrates a significant positive effect on the development of gross motor skills in 5-6 year-old children,particularly in displacement skills compared to control skills.While conventional kindergarten curriculum has some impact on the development of gross motor skills in these children,the improvement is not markedly apparent.
