Abstract

Objective This paper focus on the influence of air volleyball games activities on children's gross motor skills and physical fitness, and to provide theoretical reference for children's motor development promotion and kindergarten sports activities enrichment. Methods A total of 195 children aged 4 to 6 years from three kindergartens in Beijing and Chengdu were selected and administered with air volleyball activity intervention for 16 weeks(from February to June 2021). Before and after the intervention, TGMD-2 was used to assess the level of gross motor skills. National physical fitness measurement standard manual for children was used for the assessment of children's physical fitness. The differences of student's gross motor skills and physical fitness were conducted by independent samples t-test. Pearson's correlation and multiple linear regression analysis were used for correlations between indicators. Results Before and after the intervention, there were substantial improvement in movement skills, control skills and total gross motor skills (P < 0.05). In group comparison, there were significant differences across all age groups (P < 0.05) except 4-year-old girls (P>0.05). Physical fitness tests showed significant improvement by age and sex except for the jump on both feet item(P < 0.05), which showed no difference between pre-and-post-intervention (P>0.05). Tennis throw test showed significant correlations with movement skills and gross motor skills (r=0.44, 0.60, P < 0.01). There was a liner relationship between movement skills and physical health test scores. The regression model showed good fitting degree (R²=0.33). Conclusion Air volleyball activities could effectively promote the development of gross motor skills and physical fitness of children aged 4 to 6 years, especially in gross motor control and physical fitness of children aged 5 to 6 years.
