The objectives of this study were (1) to investigate the presence of preschool children with severe motor difficulties (SMDs) and (2) to evaluate the existence of differences in the motor competence (MC) of preschool children from public and private schools based on gender. A total of 581 preschool children (4.66 ± 0.52 years) from Galicia (Spain) were assessed. The Movement Assessment Battery for Children-2 (MABC-2) was used to collect the data. Preschool children from public schools presented a greater number of SMDs (OR = 20.65; CI = 9.99-85.53; < 0.001). Preschool children from private schools have higher scores on the variables studied (for example, manual dexterity ( < 0.001), aiming and catching ( < 0.001), balance ( < 0.001), total test score ( < 0.001), and total percentage score ( < 0.001)). Regarding the gender factor, differences were found in manual dexterity ( < 0.001), aiming and catching ( 0.014), balance ( < 0.001), total test score ( < 0.001), total percentage score ( < 0.001), and in the interaction of both factors in balance ( < 0.001), total global score ( 0.004), and total percentage score ( < 0.001). Preschool children from private schools are less likely to have severe movement problems and score higher on all dimensions of the MABC-2 than preschool children from public schools analyzed in this study. Likewise, girls score higher than boys in all dimensions, except in aiming and catching.
（1）调查患有严重运动困难（SMD）的学龄前儿童的情况；（2）评估公立和私立学校学龄前儿童在运动能力（MC）方面基于性别的差异。对来自西班牙加利西亚的581名学龄前儿童（4.66±0.52岁）进行了评估。使用儿童运动评估量表第二版（MABC - 2）收集数据。公立学校的学龄前儿童出现严重运动困难的人数更多（比值比=20.65；置信区间=9.99 - 85.53；P<0.001）。私立学校的学龄前儿童在所研究的变量上得分更高（例如，手部灵巧性（P<0.001）、目标定位与接球（P<0.001）、平衡能力（P<0.001）、测试总分（P<0.001）以及总百分比得分（P<0.001））。关于性别因素，在手部灵巧性（P<0.001）、目标定位与接球（P = 0.014）、平衡能力（P<0.001）、测试总分（P<0.001）、总百分比得分（P<0.001）方面发现了差异，并且在平衡能力（P<0.001）、总体总分（P = 0.004）和总百分比得分（P<0.001）的两个因素交互作用方面也发现了差异。在本研究中分析的私立学校学龄前儿童比公立学校学龄前儿童出现严重运动问题的可能性更小，并且在MABC - 2的所有维度上得分更高。同样，除目标定位与接球外，女孩在所有维度上的得分都高于男孩。
