Estudo da influência da variabilidade de prática gímnica sobre o desempenho motor de escolares do novo primeiro ano do ensino fundamental

Abstract

The purpose of the present study, the quasi-experimental design, was to analyze the effect of a program focused on motor variability of practice on motor performance general, children in the new first year of primary school, with duration of nine years. The sample of this survey was random, consisting of 42 children (23 boys and 19 girls) being divided into two classes: one in the evening period (21 children), designated as experimental group, and another in the morning (21 children), is considered the control group of search. The average age of children was 6.5 years. As tools to evaluate motor used the TGMD-2 (Test of Gross Motor Development - ULRICH, 2000) in pre-and post-test. To obtain information concerning the daily activities of children used is a semi-structured, as suggested by Pereira (1997). For the construction of the intervention program, which had a duration of 16 weeks, with three weekly meetings of 50 minutes, we opted to bring the proposal to Leguet (1987), in view of the general gymnastics. For data analysis, it was tested by means of the normality test of Shapiro-Wilk `s, for comparison between the experimental and control groups was applied to test U of Mann-Whitney, and for comparisons of each independent variable, using the Wilcoxon test. The results indicate that after the intervention, children in the experimental group showed a significant gain (p = 0001) in relation to children in the control group, the skills of movement and control of objects. It was also observed that the male children of GE had scores of md = 49 (46- 52), and GC md = 49 (46-52) in the pre-test. Already in the post-test, this result fell to md = 88 (82-94) for the GE, while the CG with final scores remained similar to the results of the assessment in the pre-test md = 49 (46-54). It was observed that both boys as girls of GE showed significant results in scores of locomotion and control of objects (p = 0.03). It emphasized that the GC remained the same level after 16 weeks. It is thus clear that the structured intervention by the variability of practice gímnica, positively and significantly stimulated developing motor skills of children subject of this study revealed in the results.
