Children with developmental coordination disorder (DCD) have lower physical activity (PA) than children with typical development (TD). PA and fundamental movement skills (FMS) are positively associated so interventions that promote FMS of children with DCD are recommended.
To examine the effects of a school-based FMS training program on motor functions, PA and other psychological outcomes.
A total of 131 primary children were allocated to FMS training groups (DCD-FMS n = 35, TD-FMS n = 29), which received FMS training (eight weekly 40-min sessions), or to control groups (DCD-C n = 34, TD-C n = 33), which received conventional physical education lessons. Outcome measures, including accelerometer-assessed PA, motor functions, and self-perceived competence and enjoyment, were measured at baseline, 1-week (immediate effect), 3-months (short-term effect) and 12-months (longer-term effect) after the intervention.
FMS training resulted in improved FMS proficiency and increased PA and enjoyment of activity participation in children. In particular, the DCD-FMS group reported greater enjoyment over time. Some effects were also evident for both short- and longer-term.
The findings suggest that a school-based FMS training program has the potential to promote physical and psychological health in children with DCD in the long run.
患有发育性协调障碍（DCD）的儿童的体力活动（PA）水平低于具有典型发育的儿童。PA 和基本运动技能（FMS）呈正相关，因此建议对 DCD 儿童进行促进 FMS 的干预。
检验基于学校的 FMS 训练计划对运动功能、PA 和其他心理结果的影响。
共有 131 名小学生被分配到 FMS 训练组（DCD-FMS n=35，TD-FMS n=29），他们接受 FMS 训练（每周 8 次，每次 40 分钟），或对照组（DCD-C n=34，TD-C n=33），他们接受常规体育课程。在干预前、1 周（即时效果）、3 个月（短期效果）和 12 个月（长期效果）测量了包括加速度计评估的 PA、运动功能以及自我感知的能力和享受度等结果测量。
FMS 训练使儿童的 FMS 熟练程度提高，PA 和活动参与的享受度增加。特别是，DCD-FMS 组随着时间的推移报告了更大的享受度。短期和长期也有一些效果。
研究结果表明，基于学校的 FMS 训练计划具有长期促进 DCD 儿童身心健康的潜力。
