The aim of this investigation was to study the relationships between physical activity, motor ability, and school readiness in 6-yr.-old children. In total, 294 healthy children from Tartu were studied (161 boys and 133 girls). The physical activity of children was reported by parents and teachers using the questionnaire of Harro. The motor ability of children was evaluated using various tests from the Eurofit test battery as well as the 3-min. endurance shuttle run test. The Controlled Drawing Observation rest was used as a predictor of school readiness and development of mental abilities. Indoor physical activities predicted 19-25% of total variance in motor scores for these preschool children. Motor ability tests, which demand children's total attention and concentration, appear related to the chosen measures of school readiness.
本调查的目的是研究6岁儿童的身体活动、运动能力和入学准备情况之间的关系。总共对来自塔尔图的294名健康儿童进行了研究（161名男孩和133名女孩）。家长和教师使用哈罗问卷报告儿童的身体活动情况。儿童的运动能力通过欧洲体适能测试组中的各种测试以及3分钟耐力穿梭跑测试进行评估。使用受控绘图观察休息作为入学准备和心理能力发展的预测指标。室内体育活动预测了这些学龄前儿童运动得分总方差的19%至25%。需要儿童全神贯注和集中注意力的运动能力测试似乎与所选的入学准备指标相关。
