PHYSICAL ACTIVITY AND MOTOR COMPETENCE IN CHILDHOOD

Abstract

Os objetivos desta pesquisa foram verificar a quantidade e intensidade de atividade física praticada por crianças de baixo nível socioeconômico durante dias de semana e finais de semana, avaliar indicadores de competência motora e verificar as associações entre essas variáveis. Participaram do estudo 176 crianças entre 3 e 6 anos. As crianças usaram acelerômetro por sete dias consecutivos para mensurar a prática de atividade física e a competência motora foi mensurada com a utilização do Test of Gross Motor Development (TGMD-2). Os meninos despenderam mais tempo em atividade física total do que meninas (222,5 min xs 204 min; p<0,01) nos dias de semana. Em ambos os sexos, o tempo médio diário de atividade física total ficou acima das diretrizes internacionais de prática de atividade física (≥ 3h de atividade física por dia), porém há indicadores de atraso no desenvolvimento da competência motora, principalmente nas habilidades de controle de objetos. Concluímos que meninos apresentam maiores índices de prática de atividade física do que meninas e possuem maior competência motora, porém, valores reduzidos de associação entre prática de atividade física e competência motora sugerem que a quantidade de atividade física não necessariamente implica no desenvolvimento da competência motora.

The objectives of this research were to verify the amount and intensity of physical activity performed by children of low socioeconomic level during weekdays and weekends, to assess motor competence indicators and to verify associations between these variables. A total of 176 children aged 3 to 6 years old participated in the study. They wore an accelerometer for seven consecutive days to measure physical activity engagement, while motor competence was measured by means of the Test of Gross Motor Development (TGMD-2). Boys spent more time on total physical activity than girls did (222.5 min x 204 min; p<0.01) on weekdays. For both sexes, daily average time of total physical activity stood above international guidelines on physical activity (≥ 3h of physical activity per day), but there are indicators of delayed motor competence development, especially in object control skills. In conclusion, boys presented higher physical activity engagement indexes compared to girls and had greater motor competence; however, low values for association between physical activity and motor competence suggest that physical activity amount does not necessarily affect motor competence development.
