Investigated effects of aerobic exercise on a sample of 24 preschoolers.为期 8 周的时间内，每天为 12 名儿童提供 30 分钟的有氧运动，其余 12 名儿童则在学校操场上自由玩耍。孩子们接受了以下测量的前测和后测：儿科自行车上的次最大运动测试（基线和三个工作负荷）、敏捷性测试、健康知识测试、自尊量表以及粗大运动活动的观察测量。尽管预测试具有可比性，但显着的组×重复测量效果表明，有氧运动组在所有三种工作负荷下均表现出心率下降，并且在运动计划后敏捷性和自尊心有所增加。 These findings suggest that cardiovascular fitness, agility, and self-esteem can be facilitated in preschoolers by an aerobic exercise program.
Investigated effects of aerobic exercise on a sample of 24 preschoolers. Thirty minutes of aerobic exercises were provided daily for a period of 8 weeks for a group of 12 children while the remaining 12 children engaged in freeplay on the school playground. The children were given pretests and posttests on the following measures: a submaximal exercise test on a pediatric bicycle (baseline and three workloads), an agility test, a health knowledge test, a self-esteem scale, and an observational measure of their gross-motor activity. Despite comparability on pretests, significant group× repeated measures effects suggested that the aerobic exercise group showed decreases in heart rate at all three workloads as well as increases in agility and self-esteem following the exercise program. These findings suggest that cardiovascular fitness, agility, and self-esteem can be facilitated in preschoolers by an aerobic exercise program.
