This study investigated the fundamental motor skill proficiency of Hong Kong children ages 6-9. Ninety-one male and 76 female Chinese students (mean age = 7.6 years) from six local primary schools in Hong Kong participated in this study. The Test of Gross Motor Development-Second Edition (TGMD-2) was administrated to assess the mastery of gross motor skills by an experienced physical education instructor. The performance was videotaped, and it was rated by the same physical education instructor again (1 week apart) to show the reliability (0.88-0.97). Results showed that the participants were in general superior to the normative samples from the TGMD-2 manual, scoring a gross motor quotient (GMQ) of 56.8-80.9. Overall, 24% of the participants were rated as superior, 36% as above average, 47% as average, and 2% as below average. Excellent proficiency (>80% in every subitem) was observed in running, galloping, leaping, sliding, catching, and throwing skills. In comparing the results with other studies, we found that the participants were superior to the data reported in previous studies in United States, Brazil, and Australia. This study added valuable information to the establishment of a worldwide normative reference for the comparison of future studies in other countries.
本研究调查了香港 6-9 岁儿童的基本运动技能熟练程度。91 名男性和 76 名女性中国学生（平均年龄=7.6 岁）来自香港六所本地小学参加了这项研究。使用经验丰富的体育教师对儿童进行《第二代粗大运动发育测试》（TGMD-2）评估，以评估粗大运动技能掌握情况。测试过程被录像，同一体育教师（相隔 1 周）再次进行评估以展示可靠性（0.88-0.97）。结果显示，与 TGMD-2 手册中的规范样本相比，参与者总体上表现更好，粗大运动商数（GMQ）为 56.8-80.9。总体而言，24%的参与者被评为优秀，36%为高于平均水平，47%为平均水平，2%为低于平均水平。在跑步、疾跑、跳跃、滑动、接球和投掷技能方面表现出出色的熟练程度（每个子项目的得分都超过 80%）。与其他研究的结果进行比较，发现参与者的表现优于美国、巴西和澳大利亚之前研究报告的数据。这项研究为建立全球规范参考标准，以便未来在其他国家进行比较研究提供了有价值的信息。
