The purpose of this study was to examine the contributions of age, sex, balance, and sport participation on development of sidearm-striking by children in Grades K through 8. Each of 380 boys and 337 girls (ages 4-14 years), enrolled in a medium-size school system in southeastern Maine, was individually assessed on side-arm-striking and on static and dynamic balance. All subjects completed a survey relative to their participation in school or community-sponsored sports. To assess the independent effects of age, sex, static balance, dynamic balance, and sport participation within each grade, data were subjected to multiple-regression analysis. Development of mature striking was associated with sex; boys performed better at all grades except in Grade 5 where the percentage of girls showing a mature sidearm-striking pattern approximated that of boys.
本研究的目的是探讨年龄、性别、平衡能力和体育活动参与情况对幼儿园至8年级儿童侧臂击球能力发展的影响。缅因州东南部一个中等规模学校系统中的380名男孩和337名女孩(年龄在4至14岁之间),分别接受了侧臂击球以及静态和动态平衡能力的评估。所有受试者都完成了一项关于他们参与学校或社区赞助体育活动的调查。为了评估每个年级中年龄、性别、静态平衡、动态平衡和体育活动参与情况的独立影响,对数据进行了多元回归分析。成熟击球能力的发展与性别有关;除了五年级,男孩在各个年级的表现都更好,在五年级,表现出成熟侧臂击球模式的女孩比例与男孩相近。
