Fundamental movement skills are considered a building block for movement competence. However, little is known about the influence of culture and ethnicity on the development of fundamental motor skills. A total of 111 Hispanic preschool children enrolled in a Head Start program, ages 38 to 52 months, was assessed on object-control skills using Ulrich's Test of Gross Motor Development-2. About 83% of the participants scored poor (standard score < or = 5) and 17% of children scored very poor on the performance scale (standard score < or = 3) using the descriptions in the manual. In addition, both boys and girls evidenced similar deficiencies. This information has implications for exploring and implementing age-appropriate object-control skills for children with low socioeconomic status, such as these Hispanic Head Start preschoolers.
基本运动技能被认为是运动能力的基础。然而,对于文化和种族对基本运动技能发展的影响知之甚少。共有 111 名参加“头等大事”计划的西班牙裔学龄前儿童,年龄在 38 到 52 个月之间,使用乌尔里希粗大运动发育测试-2 评估了他们的物体控制技能。大约 83%的参与者在表现量表上得分较差(标准得分≤5),17%的儿童在手册中描述的标准得分≤3 的情况下得分非常差。此外,男孩和女孩都表现出类似的缺陷。这些信息对于探索和实施适合经济社会地位较低的儿童(如这些西班牙裔“头等大事”学龄前儿童)的适当年龄的物体控制技能具有重要意义。
