In preschool, children build new contacts and social relationships with other people. They learn to cooperate with their peers and communicate in groups. In addition to social relationships, basic motor competencies (in German: Motorische Basiskompetenzen (MOBAK)) are also seen as a central developmental goal in early childhood and are necessary for participation in the culture of sports and movement. The aim of this paper is to describe the connection between social relationships and basic motor competencies in early childhood. In this present study, the motor competencies of = 548 preschool children (51% girls, M = 68.0 months, SD = 6.8) were tested in the competence areas of self-movement and object movement. The children's perceived social relationships were recorded from teacher and parent perspectives. The results clearly show a connection between social relationships and motor competencies in early childhood, with a stronger connection observed in boys. This finding is relevant both from a developmental and a health-oriented perspective, as it points to a link between physical and mental health, as well as technical and interdisciplinary competencies, in early childhood.
在学龄前阶段，儿童会与他人建立新的联系和社会关系。他们学会与同龄人合作并在群体中交流。除了社会关系外，基本运动能力（德语：Motorische Basiskompetenzen (MOBAK)）在幼儿期也被视为核心发展目标，并且是参与体育和运动文化所必需的。本文旨在描述幼儿期社会关系与基本运动能力之间的联系。在本研究中，对548名学龄前儿童（51%为女孩，平均年龄M = 68.0个月，标准差SD = 6.8）的运动能力在自我运动和物体运动能力领域进行了测试。从教师和家长的角度记录了儿童所感知到的社会关系。结果清楚地表明了幼儿期社会关系与运动能力之间的联系，且在男孩中观察到的联系更强。这一发现从发展和健康导向的角度来看都具有重要意义，因为它指出了幼儿期身心健康以及技术和跨学科能力之间的联系。
