The aim of this study was to investigate if baseline motor competence, weight status and sports participation in early childhood predict sports participation two years later.
longitudinal study.
In 2010, motor competence (object control and locomotor skills), weight status and sports participation were assessed in 292 children between three and five years-of-age. In 2012, sports participation was re-evaluated in 206 of the original 292 children. Logistic regression was implemented to examine if initial sports participation, motor competence and weight status would predict sports participation two years later.
In the final model, sports participation in 2010 (OR=9.68, CI: 3.46 to 27.13) and locomotor skills (OR=1.21, CI: 1.01 to 1.46) significantly predicted sports participation after two years.
These results suggest that initial sports participation and more advanced locomotor skills in preschool years may be important to promote continued participation in sports across childhood.
本研究旨在调查儿童早期的基线运动能力、体重状况和体育活动参与情况是否能预测两年后的体育活动参与情况。
纵向研究。
2010年,对292名3至5岁儿童的运动能力(物体控制和移动技能)、体重状况和体育活动参与情况进行了评估。2012年,对最初292名儿童中的206名重新评估了体育活动参与情况。采用逻辑回归分析来检验2010年的初始体育活动参与情况、运动能力和体重状况是否能预测两年后的体育活动参与情况。
在最终模型中,2010年的体育活动参与情况(OR = 9.68,CI:3.46至27.13)和移动技能(OR = 1.21,CI:1.01至1.46)显著预测了两年后的体育活动参与情况。
这些结果表明,学前阶段的初始体育活动参与情况和更高级的移动技能可能对促进儿童期持续参与体育活动很重要。
