这项研究的目的是调查幼儿的节奏能力的差异，如果有的话，运动频率（节奏），性别和年龄产生。节奏能力分为节奏准确能力和节奏保持能力两部分。该研究比较了两种节奏、性别和年龄对节奏准确性和节奏维持的影响，并研究了它们之间的联系。样本为170名6至9岁的儿童（85名男孩和85名女孩）（M = 7.9, SD = 0.9），他们在希腊雅典的公立小学就读前三年级，没有课外体育经历。男孩和女孩在快节奏和慢节奏的节奏准确性和节奏维持方面的表现没有显著差异，而年龄是慢节奏的显著差异因素，而不是快节奏。节奏准确性和节奏维持能力在快节奏组优于慢节奏组。节奏准确性表现优于节奏维持性表现。这些发现得出结论，需要进一步研究节奏能力的表现，重点关注不同节奏和不同年龄的儿童在不同运动经验下的节奏维持方面。
The aim of the study was to investigate the differentiation, if any, of young children's rhythmic ability that movement frequency (tempo), sex, and age produce. Rhythmic ability was analyzed into its two components, namely, rhythmic accuracy and rhythmic maintenance. The study compared the effect of two tempos, sex, and age on rhythmic accuracy and rhythmic maintenance and examined the association between them. The sample was 170 children (85 boys and 85 girls) between 6 to 9 years old (M = 7.9, SD = 0.9), who were attending the first three grades of public elementary schools in Athens, Greece, and had no extracurricular sports experience. There were no significant differences in performance on rhythmic accuracy and rhythmic maintenance between boys and girls for fast and slow tempos, while age was a significant differentiating factor at the slow tempo but not at the fast tempo. Rhythmic accuracy and rhythmic maintenance performances were better at the fast tempo than at the slow one. Rhythmic accuracy performance was better than rhythmic maintenance performance at both tempos. These findings lead to the conclusion that further examination of rhythmic ability performance is required, focusing on aspects of rhythmic maintenance under different tempos and across all children's ages, with varying motor experience.
