背景：体力活动(PA)的增加对学龄前儿童早期识字技能的影响尚不清楚。方法54名来自社会经济水平较低的城市学龄前儿童参加了为期8个月的研究。采用两组准实验设计，其中一个学龄前儿童参与PA干预，另一个作为对照。PA计划旨在促进PA每周300分钟的中等到剧烈的学术课程。在基线、4个月和8个月时评估与早期识字和语音意识有关的学习成绩。结果在8个月后，PA组的押韵显著改善(p<；.01)，与对照组(28+/-8%)相比，导致8个月时两组之间的差异(p<；.01)。与对照组(13+/-5%)相比，PA组(52+/-16%)的头韵显著改善(p<；.01)，导致两组在8个月时的差异(p<；.01)。随着接触中等强度PA的分钟数的增加，图片命名(R-2=.35，p&t；0.05)、头韵(R-2=.38，p&t；0.05)和押韵(R-2=.42，p<；.05)的变化也增加。结论教师指导的PA项目在提高PA和提高早期识字能力方面是有效的。
BACKGROUNDThe effects of increases in physical activity (PA) on early literacy skills in preschool children are not known.METHODSFifty-four African-American preschool children from a low socioeconomic urban Head Start participated over 8 months. A 2-group, quasi-experimental design was used with one preschool site participating in the PA intervention and a second site participating as the control site. The PA program was designed to promote 300 minutes/week of moderate to vigorous PA academic lessons. Academic achievement related to early literacy and phonological awareness in the areas of rhyming and alliteration were assessed at baseline, 4 and 8 months.RESULTSOver 8 months, rhyming significantly (p < .01) improved in the PA group (17312%) compared with the controls (28 +/- 8%) resulting in between group differences at 8 months (p < .01). Alliteration significantly (p < .01) improved in the PA group (52 +/- 16%) compared with controls (13 +/- 5%), resulting in between group differences at 8 months (p < .01). As minutes of exposure to moderate to vigorous PA increased, the change in picture naming (R-2 = .35, p < .05), alliteration (R-2 = .38, p < .05), and rhyming (R-2 = .42, p < .05), increased.CONCLUSIONA teacher-directed PA program is effective at increasing PA and improving early literacy.
