在过去的几十年里，在儿童中观察到运动技能和身体活动的下降以及肥胖症的增加。然而，缺乏幼儿的数据。我们测试了2- 4岁儿童的运动技能和身体活动是否因体重或性别而存在差异。在Youp'là bouge研究中，随机选择了瑞士法语区的58个儿童保育中心。通过障碍训练评估运动技能，包括源自苏黎世神经运动评估测试的5种运动技能。使用加速度计（GT 1 M，Actigraph，佛罗里达，美国）使用年龄适应性截止值测量身体活动。使用国际肥胖工作组标准（健康体重与超重）的体重指数（BMI）评估体重状况。在529名儿童中（49%女孩，3.4 ± 0.6岁，BMI 16.2 ± 1.2 kg/m2），13%超重。有没有显着的体重状况相关的差异，在单一的技能的障碍课程，但有一个趋势（p = 0.059）的整体运动技能得分较低的超重儿童的表现。在基于儿童护理的体力活动方面，没有观察到与体重状况相关的显著差异。在总体运动技能评分中未发现性别相关差异，但男孩在5项运动技能中的2项中表现优于女孩（p ≤ 0.04）。与女孩相比，男孩在儿童保育期间的总体力活动以及中等强度和剧烈活动时间高12-25%，久坐活动低5%（所有p < 0.01）。在这个年龄段，没有显着的体重状况或性别相关的差异，在全球运动技能。然而，根据年龄较大儿童的数据，男孩基于儿童保育的身体活动高于女孩。这些结果是重要的考虑时，建立身体活动的建议或针对健康促进干预措施的幼儿。
Over the last decades, a decline in motor skills and in physical activity and an increase in obesity has been observed in children. However, there is a lack of data in young children. We tested if differences in motor skills and in physical activity according to weight or gender were already present in 2- to 4-year-old children. Fifty-eight child care centers in the French part of Switzerland were randomly selected for the Youp'là bouge study. Motor skills were assessed by an obstacle course including 5 motor skills, derived from the Zurich Neuromotor Assessment test. Physical activity was measured with accelerometers (GT1M, Actigraph, Florida, USA) using age-adapted cut-offs. Weight status was assessed using the International Obesity Task Force criteria (healthy weight vs overweight) for body mass index (BMI). Of the 529 children (49% girls, 3.4 ± 0.6 years, BMI 16.2 ± 1.2 kg/m2), 13% were overweight. There were no significant weight status-related differences in the single skills of the obstacle course, but there was a trend (p = 0.059) for a lower performance of overweight children in the overall motor skills score. No significant weight status-related differences in child care-based physical activity were observed. No gender-related differences were found in the overall motor skills score, but boys performed better than girls in 2 of the 5 motor skills (p ≤ 0.04). Total physical activity as well as time spent in moderate-vigorous and in vigorous activity during child care were 12-25% higher and sedentary activity 5% lower in boys compared to girls (all p < 0.01). At this early age, there were no significant weight status- or gender-related differences in global motor skills. However, in accordance to data in older children, child care-based physical activity was higher in boys compared to girls. These results are important to consider when establishing physical activity recommendations or targeting health promotion interventions in young children.
