Comparación de la competencia motriz de niños que practican atletismo con niños que practican otros deportes
| Resumo: | The present study aimed to compare the Motor Competence (MC) of 10 years-old children practicing athletics with that of children who practice other sports, as determined by the KTK test. KTK is a gross motor coordination test centered on locomotor and postural components. Sixty-four children were evaluated, 30 female (15 Athletics: 10.4±0.23 years old, 2.5±1.13 years of practice; 15 Other Sports: 10.4±0.32 years old, 2.8±0.92 years of practice) and 34 male (17 Athletics: 10.3±0.22 years old, 2.1±0.88 years of practice; 17 Other Sports: 10.4±0.29 years old, 3.7±0.59 years of practice). After checking for normality of the data, One-way ANOVA was used to examine differences between groups. The results revealed that boys who practiced athletics [MQ= 113.5±13.8; raw scores (RS) = 255.1±24.1] presented better results for MC (p<0.001) than those who practiced other sports [MQ= 94.3±17.0; RS = 199.7±23.5]. The same happened with girls, since girls who practice Athletics (MQ =114.7±10.24; RS = 262.4±22.8) present better results of MC (p<0.001) than the ones that practice other sports (MQMC = 89.1±10.89; RS = 203,8±36.2). In the former case, the results are even more relevant because there were significant differences (p<0.001) in the years of practice favoring boys that practice other sports [3.7±0.59 vs 2.1±0.88]. It is speculated that athletics favors the development of MC, possibly due to the type of training that is performed. |
