Recent studies have emphasized the intricate connection between exercise and cognition, focusing on specific cognitive processes and their correlations with specific motor skills. However, research on the impact of the qualitative aspects of movement on both short- and long-term cognitive performance is limited. In this quasi-experimental study, we investigate the impact of a 10-week fancy rope-skipping intervention on motor coordination and selective attention of 7-9-year-old children.
A total of 60 primary school students from Changbin School in Haikou participated and completed the study from October to December 2022. The 60 participants were divided into a fancy rope-skipping group and a control group. Children's motor coordination was assessed using the Körperkoordinations Test für Kinder (KTK), while selective attention was evaluated using the d2 Test of Attention. Children were assessed at baseline and after the 10-week intervention.
Compared with the control group, the scores for the total KTK and for the hopping for height, jumping sideways, and moving sideways sub-items were significantly higher in the rope-skipping group after the intervention, with a significant interaction effect between time and intervention. Attention concentration improved in the rope-skipping group and had a significant interaction effect between time and intervention compared with the control group; the effects of the intervention on other aspects of selective attention were unclear.
Our study suggests that a 10-week fancy rope-skipping intervention may potentially enhance motor coordination and selective attention accuracy in children aged 7-9 years.
近期研究强调了运动与认知之间的复杂联系，重点关注特定认知过程及其与特定运动技能的相关性。然而，关于运动质量方面对短期和长期认知表现影响的研究有限。在这项准实验研究中，我们调查了为期10周的花式跳绳干预对7至9岁儿童运动协调性和选择性注意力的影响。
共有60名来自海口长滨小学的小学生参与并完成了2022年10月至12月的研究。这60名参与者被分为花式跳绳组和对照组。使用儿童运动协调性测试（KTK）评估儿童的运动协调性，同时使用注意力d2测试评估选择性注意力。在基线和10周干预后对儿童进行评估。
与对照组相比，干预后跳绳组的KTK总分以及高度跳跃、侧向跳跃和侧向移动子项目的得分显著更高，时间和干预之间存在显著的交互作用。跳绳组的注意力集中度有所提高，与对照组相比，时间和干预之间存在显著的交互作用；干预对选择性注意力其他方面的影响尚不清楚。
我们的研究表明，为期10周的花式跳绳干预可能会提高7至9岁儿童的运动协调性和选择性注意力准确性。
