This study aimed to compare the effects of a designed program based on games situations with those of a conventional one, the Adapted Physical Education (APE) program, on the fundamental movement skills (FMS) in children with Down Syndrome (DS), aged 6 to 10.
Twenty-eight children (13 girls and 15 boys; age 8.84 ± 1.06) with DS participated in this study. The participants were divided into two groups as the experimental group (EG) with 13 children (3 girls and 10 boys) and the control group (CG) composed with 15 children (10 girls and 5 boys). The EG participated in a conceived training program based on games situations along 10 weeks, while the CG took part in an APE conventional program based on football, long Jump and sprint adapted exercises. The FMS (locomotor and object control skills) were evaluated using the Gross Motor Development-2 Test at pretraining and posttraining for both groups.
The results revealed that both programs improve significantly locomotor skills with significantly better improvement in the EG. However, a significant object control skills improvement was observed only among the EG.
In light of our findings, a training program based on adapted games situations during 10 weeks may be recommended for FMS improvement, specifically object control skills.
本研究旨在比较基于游戏情境设计的方案与传统的适应体育教育（APE）方案对 6 至 10 岁唐氏综合征（DS）儿童基本运动技能（FMS）的影响。
28 名儿童（13 名女孩和 15 名男孩；年龄 8.84±1.06）参与了这项研究。参与者被分为两组，实验组（EG）有 13 名儿童（3 名女孩和 10 名男孩），对照组（CG）由 15 名儿童（10 名女孩和 5 名男孩）组成。EG 参加了一个基于游戏情境的构思训练计划，持续 10 周，而 CG 则参加了一个基于足球、跳远和短跑适应性练习的传统 APE 计划。在训练前后，两组均使用粗大运动发育-2 测试评估 FMS（移动和物体控制技能）。
结果表明，这两个方案都显著改善了运动技能，EG 的改善更为显著。然而，仅在 EG 中观察到物体控制技能有显著的改善。
根据我们的发现，在 10 周内基于适应游戏情境的训练方案可能有助于改善 FMS，特别是物体控制技能。
