The Current Status of Gross Motor Skills Among Children Aged 3-6 Years Old in Poverty-Stricken Areas Based on TGMD3

Abstract

The deterioration of children's physical health has become a major public health issue of global concern. According to the "Report on the Nutrition and Chronic Disease Status of Chinese Residents" released by the National Health Commission in 2020, the overweight and obesity rate of urban and rural children in my country has reached 10%. By using the most advanced gross motor skill development tester (TGMD-3) to test the gross motor skills of 100 children from 5 kindergartens in Haiying Town, it was found that the development of gross movements was at a medium-low level, the displacement movement skills were at a medium level, and the object control skills were at a medium-low level. The development of children's movements such as "standing long jump", "single-handed racket hitting rebound ball", "kicking fixed ball", and "single-handed in-situ ball" needs attention and intervention.

This study analyzes the current status of the development of gross motor skills of children in Haiying Town, further explores the factors affecting the development of children's gross motor skills, and hopes to solve the problem of the level of gross motor skills and physical quality development of children in Haiying Town, improve the understanding and level of the importance of gross motor skills development of children in poor counties and towns, and contribute to the development of physical quality and sports for children in Haiying Town.
