本研究目的在瞭解學齡前兒童背景資料(性別及年齡)及身體活動種類對整體、粗大及精細動作發展的關係。根據動態系統理論,動作發展不僅受學齡前兒童的性別及年齡所影響,還受其它多元動態系統,例如身體活動影響。過去文獻均確定動作發展和身體活動間具相關性,但彼此關係卻不明確。本研究募集44位四到六歲分別來自四個不同縣市幼稚園的學齡前兒童(男童24位,女童20位),透過蒐集他們的身體活動種類及動作表現,結果發現一週身體活動量對動作發展有顯著的預測能力,並且特定種類身體活動對動作發展也有顯著的預測能力。在分層多元迴歸的分析中,有效預測整體動作發展的兩個因子分別為性別及年齡,有效預測粗大動作發展的兩個因子為年齡及第六和第七類身體活動,而有效預測精細動作發展的兩個因子同樣為性別及年齡。此外,年齡是動作發展(包含粗大及精細動作)最具顯著預測能力的因子。
The purpose of this study was understand the relationship among the preschool children’s demographic information (such as gender and age), physical activity level, and motor development which included the gross and the fine motor. According to the dynamical systems theory, the motor development was not only affected by the preschool children’s gender and age, but also by the other multidimensional system, such as physical activity. The literature indicated that the motor development was related to the physical activity, but they had uncertainty relationship. This study recruited 44 4-to 6-year-old preschool children (24 boys and 20 girls) who came from four different cities. Thereafter, the study investigated their physical activity levels and motor performance. There are some important findings. First of all, physical activity Level of hold week had significant predictive power on motor development. And specific level of physical activity on motor development also had significant predictive power. In the hierarchical regression analysis, this study found the two effective predictors of motor development which were gender and age. Moreover, the two effective predictors of the gross motor development were age and the moderate physical activity level. In addition, the two effective predictors of the fine motor development were gender and age. Besides, the best predicting factors for the motor development which included the gross and the fine motor development was age.
