Abstract
Fundamental motor skills (FMS) play a critical role in the physical activity engagement and health of children. In this study we described inter- and intra-skill changes in preschoolers FMS mastery across a mastery motivational climate (MMC) intervention. Fifty-six children (27 boys, 29 girls, Mage = 4.5) participated in a twice weekly, 30-minute MMC intervention for 29 sessions. Pre-post FMS were measured using the test of gross motor development-3. Girls showed larger FMS mastery changes in their locomotor (LM) skills than boys. The largest changes in LM skill mastery occurred in run, slide, and jump. For ball skill mastery, boys showed greater improvements in throwing compared to two-hand strike, dribble, and kick for girls. Our findings may inform the design and instructional strategies of future interventions.
期刊介绍：
The Journal of Motor Behavior, a multidisciplinary journal of movement neuroscience, publishes articles that contribute to a basic understanding of motor control. Articles from different disciplinary perspectives and levels of analysis are encouraged, including neurophysiological, biomechanical, electrophysiological, psychological, mathematical and physical, and clinical approaches. Applied studies are acceptable only to the extent that they provide a significant contribution to a basic issue in motor control. Of special interest to the journal are those articles that attempt to bridge insights from different disciplinary perspectives to infer processes underlying motor control. Those approaches may embrace postural, locomotive, and manipulative aspects of motor functions, as well as coordination of speech articulators and eye movements. Articles dealing with analytical techniques and mathematical modeling are welcome.
