Coordination Abilities Of Children Research Articles

Development of coordination abilities in children aged 9-10 years with a diagnosis of myopia

Objective The objective is to increase the level of coordination abilities of schoolchildren diagnosed with myopia.
 Methods The study was conducted in the period from September 2022 to June 2023 at secondary school number 13 in the Kirov region. A group (n=21) of 4th grade students was formed to conduct a pedagogical experiment. These are boys and girls aged 10-11 years with a mild degree of myopia (up to 3 diopters) – myopia of the first degree. The level of development of coordination abilities was determined by a 3x10 meter Shuttle run, a long jump from a place with the right and left sides, Balance on 1 leg and Dynamic coordination of movements. The Student’s T-Test was the main method of mathematical statistics.
 Results After the end of the pedagogical experiment, the performance of children from the experimental group improved in all indicators. In the shuttle run test, the indicators became higher from 9.36±0.16 to 8.72±0.09 (p<0.05), an increase of 6.8%. The long jump with the right side increased by 10.4% (p<0.05), and with the left side by 7.3% (p<0.05). In the balance on one leg test, the indicators became 13.3% higher (p<0.05), and in the dynamic coordination test, the indicators improved from 8.83±0.89 to 10.05±0.16 (p<0.05), the increase in indicators was 13.8%.
 Conclusion The results obtained allow us to conclude that our proposed method of using general developmental exercises with objects as a means of developing coordination abilities in children 9-10 years old diagnosed with myopia is effective, which is achieved through regular use of exercises in physical education lessons, as well as by stabilizing the course of myopia during the school day.

Pattern of Visual-Motor Integration, Visual Perception, and Fine Motor Coordination Abilities in Children Being Assessed for Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorder.

Motor skill assessment is part of the fetal alcohol spectrum disorder (FASD) multidisciplinary assessment. Some clinicians opt to exclude assessment of the subcomponents of visual-motor integration (visual perception and motor coordination), on the assumption that challenges will be revealed based on the assessment of visual-motor integration. The objective is to describe the visual-motor integration, visual perception, and fine motor coordination pattern of abilities in children with confirmed prenatal alcohol exposure being assessed for fetal alcohol spectrum disorder. This cross-sectional study included 91 children (65 males; mean age: 10 years, 6 months SD = 2 years, 10 months) undergoing assessment for FASD. Friedman and Wilcoxon statistics were used to compare mean visual-motor integration, visual perception, and fine motor coordination percentiles from the Beery-Buktenica Developmental Test of Visual-Motor Integration, Sixth Edition (Beery-6). Children being assessed for FASD (n = 91) had the highest normative scores in visual perception, followed by visual-motor integration and fine motor coordination (mean percentiles (SD): 35.9 (24.9), 20.6 (18.3), and 13.8 (15.5), respectively) (χ 2 distribution = 46.909, p ≤ 0.001). Children being assessed for FASD experience more challenges with fine motor coordination compared with visual-motor integration and visual perception tasks. This pattern differs from the pattern established for the general population in which tasks that require visual-motor integration are more challenging than tasks that isolate visual perception and fine motor coordination. These results suggest that fine motor coordination should be included in FASD diagnostic assessments and considered as an area for intervention.

Foot arches and physical fitness of 5-year-old children

Introduction Preschool age is a period of further changes in physical development, improvement of motor skills, and strengthening of the child's movement apparatus. At that time, especially between the ages of 4 and 7, morpho-functional changes in the feet are observed, leading to their longitudinal and transverse arches. The aim of the research was to try to assess the relationship between the curvature of the feet and the level of fitness and coordination abilities of children under the age of 5. Material and methods 414 children aged 5 participated in the study, including 178 girls and 236 boys. Podoscopic examination made it possible to assess the longitudinal arch of the feet using the Clarke's angle. The level of the child's motor development was characterized on the basis of the results of the tests of the Physical Fitness Test for Sekita's Preschoolers, and the Great Motility Test TGMD II was used to assess the coordination abilities. The results were statistically processed. Differences between the selected groups were estimated with the Student's t-test for independent groups. Results Based on our own research, it was found that preschoolers with flat feet are characterized by significantly lower body height and a higher BMI. On the other hand, such differences were not noted in body weight. On the other hand, the analysis of fitness abilities and motor predispositions proved the occurrence of small and insignificant differences between the described syndromes. Conclusion Therefore, it can be assumed that at this stage of ontogenesis, the level of the arched feet does not have a significant effect on the motor skills of the studied children.

Development of coordination abilities in children of primary school age in the process of sports aerobics in groups of primary training

Effectiveness of Motor Imagery Training for Children with Developmental Coordination Disorder Among Indian Children- A Pilot Study

Children with developmental coordination disorder (DCD) experiences difficulty in performing coordinated movement task as there is a defect in the internal of movements. The of DCD has been examined in several studies which reveal several viable hypotheses including reduced processing speed, problems in executive functioning, poor cross-model integration and low perceptual-motor coupling. Researchers well documented that the predictive control of movements is impaired in children with Developmental Coordination Disorder (DCD), it was examined that impaired control of movements was due to a deficit in the internal of movements. Motor imagery training has been used to test this internal deficit. Motor imagery training is useful for children with DCD as it focuses on internal of movements. The current study aims to examine the effectiveness of Motor imagery training focused on mental imagery task to enhance the movement coordination abilities of children with DCD. By random sampling, 20 children with DCD were randomly divided into two groups, Group A received MI training, and Group B received COOP- Cognitive orientation to daily occupational performance. Both groups received intervention for nine sessions of 45 minutes. The results provided by the current study will help to describe treatment protocol for children with DCD with evidence. Both children and therapist will be benefited from the study.

THEORETICAL SUBSTANTIATION OF IMPLEMENTATION OF KARATE TECHNIQUES IN CORRECTION AND DEVELOPMENT OF COORDINATION ABILITY COMPONENTS OF CHILDREN WITH HEARING IMPAIRMENTS

The aim. The karate competition requires the athlete to have a comprehensive manifestation of motor abilities. At the same time, the motor-related area is closely connected with function of the auditory analyzer. Consequently, auditory deprivation affects all types of motor abilities, but, first of all, it affects coordination abilities, since they are implemented on a defective basis of the sensory systems involved in controlling movements. Technical means (punches and kicks, blocks) and tactical means (instant assessment of the situation and making the right decisions) of traditional karate effectively affect the correction of various manifestations of motor coordination. Moreover, the above mentioned karate means affect motor coordination through motor experience in the form of complicating previously mastered movements and mastering new movements with increased coordination difficulties. Methods and organization of the study. We used the following set of complementary theoretical methods to meet the challenge of theoretical substantiation of the research: analysis of psychological, pedagogical and methodical literature, scientific articles on adaptive physical culture, abstracting, generalization and concretization. Results. The research revealed the most common deviations in the manifestation of various components of coordination abilities of children with auditory deprivation. We specified sensitive periods of development of this type of motor qualities in children with hearing impairments. We identified basic karate techniques and actions, which favorably influence the course of development of coordination abilities. Conclusion. Correction and development of the coordination abilities of children with hearing impairments represent the primary task of adaptive physical education. The most favorable age is primary school age. Techniques and actions of traditional karate have a high potential of effective impact on all types of coordination abilities of children.

The results of the study in the EG say about the effectiveness of the use of exercises «Classic’s» in physical education lessons at school. Conclusion – if at each lesson on physical culture at school schoolchildren will perform the exercise «Classic’s» the level of development of speed endurance and coordination abilities will increase significantly.

Influence of coordination abilities on speed endurance of schoolchildren with different typologies

Introduction: Differentiated development of coordination abilities in children with different strengths of the nervous system has a positive impact on the development of speed endurance. However, there are no such studies. Objective: To determine the effect of coordination training on development of coordination abilities and speed endurance abilities of children 7-8 years with different strengths of the nervous system. Method: Pedagogical research was carried out for 7 months at school with children 7-8 years, a total of 60 children taking part. All the children were admitted to physical education classes for health reasons and divided into three groups of 20 each using the method of random sampling. The study used tests that determine the level of development of coordination abilities (shuttle run), speed endurance (jump over the rope) and strength-weakness of the nervous system in the process of excitation (tapping test). The programs Bio-Stat, Excel and parametric criterion T-Student were used in statistical and mathematical processing of the results. Results: After the study, new results were obtained. In children from the first group (KG) coordination abilities became worse by 0.1 seconds; at the same time, speed endurance abilities improved from 28.4±2.1 to 29.3±1.8 (p>0,05). Children in the second group (EG-1) improved their performance in the test “shuttle run” from 10.3±0.6 to 10.1±0.5 (p>0.05), and in the test “jump over the rope” the results improved from 31.1±1.7 to 36.2±2.1 (p Conclusions: The study showed the effectiveness of the typological criterion in differentiating children into groups. If the physical education classes at school to develop coordination abilities of schoolchildren taking into account the strength of the nervous system, it will significantly improve the performance of coordination abilities and speed endurance.

Особенности нарушения различных видов координационных способностей младших школьников со слуховой депривацией

Hearing impairment in the system of analyzers entails not only an isolated “exclusion” of one sense organ, but a defect in the whole development of the child. Hearing impairment is closely functionally interdependent with speech function and motor sphere. The hearing disorder is functionally closely interdependent, with speech function and motor area. For this reason, of all types of motor abilities are the most impaired coordination, as their development is based on the lack of functional formation of sensory systems involved in the management of movements. It is important to note that disorders in the development of coordination abilities in children with hear-ing disorders are most pronounced in preschool and primary school age. The influence of vestibu-lar function disorders as a consequence of auditory deprivation on the development of coordina-tion abilities of children of primary school age is described. These motor tests allow us to identify the development levels of coordination abilities following types: static balance, responsiveness, the ability to coordinate movements, the ability to differentiate muscle efforts and space, the ability to orient in space, tempo-rhythm ability. The obtained test results were evaluated with respect to the indicators of the development of six types of coordination abilities of primary school children without deviations in health status. The comparative analysis revealed the lag of the studied types of coordination abilities of younger schoolchildren with auditory deprivation.

Dancing Exercises as a Factor of Socialization of Children With Violation of Sight

In the article the individual differentiated approach is reflected to employments by dancing exercises as important mean of optimization of educational process in the specialized schools-boarding-schools, shown role of dances in the increase of level of physical preparedness and somatic health at children 7 years with violations of sight. Examined 45 schoolchildren aged 7–9 years who study at a specialized boarding school for children with violation of sight. The analysis of the influence of dances on the psychoemocyanal sphere of children with violations of sight led to the results of testing the coordination abilities, the level of formation of the need for communication, the diagnosis of the motivational structure of the personality, the definition of communication style, value orientations and the level of communicative complexity. Comparative analysis showed that with age these indicators decrease, and in children with low coordination abilities there is a low level of need for communication and low motor activity. Among the motivations that motivate children with visual impairment to group interaction, 54,3 % fall on the need to establish a wide range of relationships, about 45,4 % to the needs for their own development, the need for personal credibility is 39,5 %. Another 35,2 % of indicators are due to the need for information accumulation, and the opportunity to increase the value of one’s own person is 24,7 %. At the same time, the need for communicative learning and the need to achieve communicative success are pushed to the background and make up only 14,2 and 15,7 %, respectively. Low indicators of communicative training cause significant difficulties in the integrative process, which requires the development of a program to improve and improve the level of coordination abilities in children with violation of sight. The necessity of forming of motivation is marked to the increase of level of motive activity as effective mean of harmonization of physical development, is marked on importance of permanent employments by dances, that substantially promotes efficiency of process of socialization and helps to be deprived psychological complexes.
