Brief Summary:
This study intended to assess the impact of coordination-based exercise interventions on physical fitness motor competence and executive function among preschoolers aged 4 to 6 years
Detailed Description:
Forty-four preschool children 22 boys and 22 girls with a mean age of 590 years SD 028 Participants will be randomly assigned to an Exercise Group n 19 or a Control Group n 25 The Exercise Group will engage in 20-minute fun and game-based sessions focusing on foundational movement patterns appropriate for preschoolers conducted twice weekly over eight weeks In contrast the Control Group continued with their regular unstructured school activities Physical fitness was evaluated using agility tests static-dynamic balance and vertical jumping Motor competence was assessed through the KTK3 test battery and inhibition control was measured using the GoNo-Go test The study concluded that coordination-based exercises structured around fun and engaging activities suitable for preschoolers potentially enhance physical fitness motor skills and executive functions These areas are essential for early childhood development suggesting that integrating such exercises into preschool activities could be beneficial However specific results regarding the effectiveness of the interventions on the tested competencies would need to be detailed to confirm these hypothesized benefits fully The study highlights the importance of structured physical activity in early childhood education settings for promoting essential developmental skills
