The influence of habitual physical activity patterns of preschool children on perceived motor competence and motor ability

本研究采用直接观察的方法，对学龄前儿童的身体活动模式进行测量，试图阐明习惯的身体活动模式对感知身体能力和运动能力的影响。在两天的时间内确定了四种体育活动模式，这些模式是稳定的。仅在一次场合进行的观察被认为不足以揭示儿童的活动量，因此强调需要进行两次或更多次观察。发现学龄前儿童的习惯性体育活动对发育因素指数有贡献。此外，家庭体育活动方式与感知运动能力和运动能力之间的关系无显著差异。我们还研究了两种情况下不同类型的习惯性体育活动模式的变化，结果表明需要更准确地澄清学龄前儿童的这些模式。此外，结果表明，体育活动模式可能比感知的运动能力更大程度上影响运动能力，尽管这种趋势并不显著。

A study was conducted to measure physical activity patterns of preschool children through direct observation in an attempt to clarify the influence of habitual physical activity patterns on perceived physical competence and motor ability. Four patterns of physical activity in a two-day period were identified, and these patterns were stable. Observation conducted on only a single occasion was found to be insufficient for revealing the amount of activity of the children, thus highlighting the need for conducting observations twice or more. Habitual physical activity of preschool children was found to contribute to the index of developmental factors. Moreover, there was no evident difference in the relationship among physical activity patterns at home, perceived motor competence, and motor ability.We also examined changes in different types of habitual physical activity pattern on two occasions, and the results suggested the need to clarify these patterns in preschool children more accurately Moreover, the results suggested that physical activity patterns might influence motor ability to a greater extent than perceived motor competence, although this tendency was not significant.
