Brief Summary:
Introduction The development of fundamental movement skills FMS is essential to acquiring the necessary skills that allow children to be competent in several sports games and dances Competence is acquired from FMS skills through practice and experiences during childhood However evidence from previous studies showed low levels of FMS given that 44 of the preschoolers were delayed in gross motor skills and 88 were at risk of delay
Aim To evaluate the effects of a structured physical education PE program on preschoolers FMS implemented and delivered by PE teachers Secondary aims are to evaluate the effects of the physical education program on i preschoolers movement behaviors ii physical fitness levels and iii blood pressure
Methods Cluster randomized controlled trial study Sample 40 preschool children aged 3 to 4 years old Primary Outcomes are FMS assessed with the Test of Gross Motor Development- Third Edition Secondary outcomes are physical activity PA physical fitness blood pressure and Body Mass Index BMI
Expected results Participation in the PE program will likely have a positive effect on the development of FMS potentially increasing PA levels and improving physical fitness It is also expected that FMS show a consistent positive association with BMI and blood pressure levels The results of this randomized controlled trial RCT have the potential to inform future guidelines for PE classes in Chilean preschoolers and strengthen the scientific knowledge on this type of intervention in this population

Detailed Description:
Data from children and adolescents has shown that FMS have a significant association and reciprocal longitudinal relationship with PA Strong evidence to supports a low-to-moderate positive association between FMS and moderate-to-vigorous and vigorous and vigorous PA in preschool-aged children Conversely when analyzing results within the 24-hour movement behaviors spectrum there is evidence that preschoolers who spend more time in sedentary behavior have lower FMS scores Short sleep durations can adversely affect the development of FMS Previous findings also show that proficient FMS may benefit childrens physical fitness specifically cardiorespiratory and musculoskeletal fitness
FMS development should begin in the early years however data shows that many preschoolers lack adequate FMS proficiency for their age Additionally some data show that the Covid-19 worldwide pandemic damaged preschoolers FMS together with the motor competence of children aged 6-9 years old highlighting the need for tailored interventions Indeed FMS intervention programs effectively improve FMS as well as other health-related behaviors and outcomes in preschoolers Unfortunately in Chile many preschools and primary schools do not have structured PE programs but rather recreation periods in which children participate in free play However it has been shown that young children spend only half of their free play time engaged in PA and that PE interventions are an effective mean for developing FMS in preschoolers but only when implemented by specialized PE teachers However in Chile it is not common to find PE teachers in preschoolers
Therefore this researchs main aim is to evaluate the effects of a structured PE program on preschoolers FMS implemented and delivered by PE teachers The secondary aims are to evaluate the effects of the PE program on i preschoolers movement behaviors ii physical fitness levels and iii blood pressure
The hypothesis is that a structured physical education program positively modifies fundamental movement skills movement behaviors physical fitness levels and blood pressure
