A battery of 4 school-readiness tests and 16 motor tests were administered in a sample of 660 preschool children (333 male and 327 female) just about to enroll in the first grade, in order to analyze the effects of kindergarten period on school readiness and motor abilities. The sample of children was divided into six groups according to sex and duration kindergarten attendance (kindergarten period of 5 years, 3 years and 8-9 months). Study results showed the entire education and motor activities in kindergarten to contribute significantly to school-readiness and motor abilities ofchildren. The highest school readiness was found in the children that attended kindergarten for the longest period, whereas lowest school readiness was recorded in children that attended kindergarten for only one academic year or less before enrolling in the first grade.
对即将升入一年级的660名学龄前儿童（333名男童和327名女童）进行了一组4项入学准备测试和16项运动测试，以分析幼儿园阶段对入学准备和运动能力的影响。根据性别和幼儿园就读时长（幼儿园就读5年、3年以及8 - 9个月）将儿童样本分为六组。研究结果表明，幼儿园的整体教育和运动活动对儿童的入学准备和运动能力有显著贡献。就读幼儿园时间最长的儿童入学准备程度最高，而在升入一年级前只上了一个学年或更少时间幼儿园的儿童入学准备程度最低。
