INTRODUCTION
The Movement Assessment Battery for Children, 2nd Edition (MABC-2) test is a valuable tool for identifying motor delays in children globally. However, there has been a lack of data for children in Singapore.
METHODS
This study compared 175 children in Singapore (SG) aged 3-6 years to MABC-2 data based on the United Kingdom (UK) population, using statistical tests to analyze age, country, and gender effects on motor competence.
RESULTS
The results showed a positive age effect across all tasks, with SG children excelling in balance but lagging in aiming and catching tasks compared to UK children. The interaction between age and country yielded mixed results, favoring different groups at various ages. Additionally, girls displayed better manual dexterity and static balance than boys.
CONCLUSION
Encouraging more physical activities, especially those involving object manipulation, is crucial for SG children. Establishing local norms for the MABC-2 in Singapore and considering country-specific factors in motor competence evaluations can enhance early intervention strategies. These findings emphasize the importance of tailored approaches to address motor skill development in SG children.
引言
《儿童运动评估量表第二版》（MABC - 2）测试是全球范围内识别儿童运动发育迟缓的一项重要工具。然而，新加坡儿童在这方面的数据却较为匮乏。
方法
本研究将175名年龄在3至6岁的新加坡儿童与基于英国人群的MABC - 2数据进行比较，运用统计测试分析年龄、国家和性别对运动能力的影响。
结果
结果显示，在所有任务中均存在年龄正向效应，与英国儿童相比，新加坡儿童在平衡能力方面表现出色，但在目标瞄准和接球任务上有所滞后。年龄与国家之间的交互作用产生了复杂的结果，在不同年龄段对不同群体有利。此外，女孩在手部灵巧性和静态平衡方面表现优于男孩。
结论
鼓励新加坡儿童进行更多的体育活动，尤其是那些涉及物体操作的活动至关重要。在新加坡建立MABC - 2的本地常模，并在运动能力评估中考虑特定国家因素，可加强早期干预策略。这些研究结果强调了采用针对性方法解决新加坡儿童运动技能发展问题的重要性。
