Study on the Development Status of Gross Motor Skills in Children Aged 3-6 Years
OBJECTIVE:This study aims to examine the current status of gross motor skills and sub-abilities development in children aged 3-6 years.It provides a theoretical basis and data support for assessing and monitoring the development of gross motor skills in children aged 3-6 years,as well as implementing targeted sports interventions.METHODS:A total of 506 healthy children aged 3-6 years,including 151 children aged 3-4 years,169 children aged 4-5 years,and 186 children aged 5-6 years,were selected as participants.The Test of Gross Motor Development-3(TGMD-3)was used to assess the gross motor skills development of the children.The characteristics of gross motor skills development at different age groups were compared,and the overall development level and sub-ability development level were analyzed.RESULTS:The test scores for gross motor skills in children aged 3-4 years,4-5 years,and 5-6 years were(40.36±1.92)points,(9.28±0.95)points,and(62.88±1.20)points,respectively.There were significant differences in gross motor skills indicators,as well as locomotor skills and object control skills indicators,among the three age groups(P＜0.01).CONCLUSIONS:(1)The development of gross motor skills in children is significantly influenced by age characteristics.Gross motor skills of children aged 3-4 years are the least mature and unstable,with significant individual differences.Gross motor skills of children aged 4-5 years are relatively stable and balanced.Gross motor skills of children aged 5-6 years are the most developed and stable.(2)Locomotor skills show a steady increase in the age range of 3-6 years,while object control skills are in a sensitive period of development in children aged 5-6 years.
