The objective of this study was to describe the effects of an extra hour of a structured motor program on the motor competence (MC) of children 6-10 years old..
The need for movement interventions to enhance MC among school-aged children has gained vital importance in the last years, given the negative secular trends reported. Hence, the Portuguese Football Federation organized an intervention program on MC to be implemented on the extracurricular time of the Portuguese primary schools: the Super Quinas program.
Thirty-nine schools from all of Portugal were assigned to intervention and control condition, with a total of 1034 children (6-10 y old) completing all the program (77.7%). The Super Quinas intervention comprised of 1 hour of activity per week, led by a physical educator teacher during extracurricular activities for 12 wees. MC was assessed using the Motor Competence Assessment (MCA) before and at the end of the program (January and April 2023). Normative results of the MCA were used to compare changes between pre and posttest according to experimental or control condition.
Results showed a general improvement (P ≤ .001) for all subscales (Locomotor, Manipulative, Stability) and total MCA. More importantly, the experimental group showed significant and positive differences, when compared with the control group, in the Stability (P = .007), Manipulative (P = .015), and total MCA results (P = .018) after controlling for gender, age, and baseline effect.
The Super Quinas intervention program proved that adding 1 hour of structured movement program to the regular primary school schedule can lead to greater development of MC in school-age children.
本研究的目的是描述额外一小时的结构化运动计划对6至10岁儿童运动能力（MC）的影响。
鉴于已报道的负面长期趋势，近年来，开展运动干预以提高学龄儿童的运动能力变得至关重要。因此，葡萄牙足球联合会组织了一项关于运动能力的干预计划，该计划将在葡萄牙小学的课外时间实施：超级奎纳斯计划。
来自葡萄牙各地的39所学校被分配到干预组和对照组，共有1034名儿童（6至10岁）完成了整个计划（77.7%）。超级奎纳斯干预包括每周1小时的活动，由一名体育教师在课外活动期间带领，为期12周。在计划开始前和结束时（2023年1月和4月）使用运动能力评估（MCA）对运动能力进行评估。根据实验组或对照组的情况，使用MCA的标准化结果来比较前后测之间的变化。
所有子量表（ locomotor、操作、稳定性）和总MCA均显示出总体改善（P≤0.001）。更重要的是，在控制了性别、年龄和基线效应后，与对照组相比，实验组在稳定性（P = 0.007）、操作（P = 0.015）和总MCA结果（P = 0.018）方面显示出显著的正向差异。
超级奎纳斯干预计划证明，在小学常规课程表中增加1小时的结构化运动计划可以促进学龄儿童运动能力的更大发展。
