Popis: | According to a study conducted by Japan's Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports,\nScience, and Technology on the motor ability of school-age children, motor ability\ndeclined among all age groups when compared to past research. It is important,\nhowever, to consider the current situation not only among school-age children, but in\nearly childhood as well as a way of understanding the connection between lifestyle and\nmotor ability. This study tested the motor ability of 5 and 6-year old kindergarten\nstudents (181 boys, 164 girls), as well as conducted a survey among guardians and\nteachers regarding the children's lifestyle. The results of a one-way ANOVA analysis\nof the survey of guardians which treated motor ability as a dependent variable\nsuggested a meaningful association among a portion of the male sample, but no\ncorrelation among the female sample and as a whole did not conclusively indicate\nlifestyle's influence on motor ability. However, the survey of teachers regarding\nchildren's lifestyle did reveal significant inter-group differences, especially among boys,\nand indicated a connection between lifestyle and motor ability. This suggests the need\nfor further research on the lifestyle of pre-school age children as a part of current\nefforts to formulate government policy for the improvement of motor ability among\nelementary and middle school students. 紀要論文 |
