Fundamental movement skills (FMS) are basic movements in children that represent the building blocks for more complex motor skill development and act as a prerequisite for enduring sport and physical activity (PA) engagement and positive health-related behaviours. The FMS proficiency is currently inadequate worldwide, and consequently there are alarming levels of inactivity and childhood obesity. However, parents are role models to their children and possess the power to influence their PA behaviour. This review investigated if parent-focused interventions could improve FMS in 2-7-year-old children and evaluated which setting and method of parent engagement was most impactful. Keyword searches were conducted via Scopus, Web of Science, SPORTDiscus, PubMed, Science Direct, and Google Scholar. Only nine articles met the inclusion criteria. No research originated from the United Kingdom, highlighting the urgent need for further FMS interventions involving parents. The FMS improved in all nine studies, with significant changes in seven of the articles ( < 0.05). Parent-child co-activity, the education and empowerment of parents, and the provision of clear FMS guidance, messaging, and structure can positively influence children's FMS. Recently, smartphone apps have increased the feasibility and accessibility of FMS practice at home and may be integral to future interventions. Further research with direct parental involvement is clearly warranted.
基本运动技能（FMS）是儿童的基本动作，是更复杂运动技能发展的基石，也是持续参与体育运动和身体活动（PA）以及形成与健康相关积极行为的先决条件。目前，全球范围内FMS水平不足，因此存在令人担忧的身体活动不足和儿童肥胖问题。然而，父母是孩子的榜样，有能力影响孩子的身体活动行为。本综述调查了以父母为重点的干预措施是否能改善2至7岁儿童的FMS，并评估哪种父母参与的环境和方法最具影响力。通过Scopus、科学网、SPORTDiscus、PubMed、科学Direct和谷歌学术进行关键词搜索。只有九篇文章符合纳入标准。没有研究来自英国，这凸显了迫切需要进一步开展涉及父母的FMS干预措施。在所有九项研究中FMS都有所改善，其中七篇文章有显著变化（<0.05）。亲子共同活动、父母的教育和赋权以及提供明确的FMS指导、信息和结构可以对儿童的FMS产生积极影响。最近，智能手机应用程序提高了在家中进行FMS练习的可行性和可及性，可能是未来干预措施的重要组成部分。显然有必要进行更多有父母直接参与的研究。
