Not Applicable

Completed

• Conditions: Physical Exercise Behaviour; Fundamental Motor Skills; 6-Year-Old Children

• Registration Number: NCT06667219
• Lead Sponsor: Universiti Sains Malaysia

Brief Summary

The goal of this clinical trial is to examine the relationship between children's physical exercise behavior and children's Fundamental Motor Skills (FMS) before and after changing the influencing factors of 6-year-old children's physical exercise behavior in Guangdong Province, China. The main question it aims to answer is:

Is there any change of the relationship (time, group, and interaction) between 6-year-old children's physical exercise behaviour and children's Fundamental Motor Skills (FMS) before and after the physical activity intervention of the influencing factors in Guangdong Province, China?

Participants will:

Intervention group, Length: 12 weeks, 40 minutes, twice a week. The intervention will be conducted using a relevant physical fitness training program.

Control group, Length: 12 weeks. Content: Physical exercise using kindergarten standards.

Researchers will compare the data before and after the intervention to know whether the Fundamental Motor Skills (FMS) of 6-year-old children have changed.

Primary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
Changes in test values of 13 indicators of Fundmental Motor Skills in 6-year-old children at 12 weeks	5 months	The FMS is measured with the tool TGMD-3. TGMD-3 is scored based on the completion quality of children.; The unit of measurement is "scores". The 13-item test consists of two subscales: six locomotor skills (LM) (i.e., run, gallop, hop, slide, jump, and skip) and seven ball skills (BS), formerly known as object control skills (i.e., forehand strike, two-hand strike, overhand throw, underhand throw, dribble, catch, and kick). According to the TGMD-3, each skill has a set of performance criteria that is evaluated. In this case, raw scores for locomotor skills could range from 0 to 46. Similarly, ball skills could range from 0 to 54. The total score of all movements was 100 scores.; The higher score represents a higher level of motor skill development, and the low score indicates a lack of some critical movement development.
