The purpose of this study was to investigate the factors of athletic movement ability in early childhood. The factors are child's individuality and environmental characteristics, to wit: parents' influence, and kindergarten's influence.
The subjects consisted of 551 children aged from four to five years. The instruments used for this study were athletic movement ability; obstacle course of Project Spectrum, attentional capacity of CUCUI scores, activity level(H.Y. Cheon, 1993), index of bodybuild, father's involvement and perception of athletic movement, mother's involvement and perception of athletic movement, kindergarten's physical programs including athletic facility, and children's individuality. The data from the all tests were analyzed by frequency, percentile, t-test, one-way ANOVA, correlation, and regression.
The main results of this study were as follows:
1. Sex and age were factors on developing athletic movement ability; older children and boys were better than younger children and girls. In addition, index of bodybuild; higher rated children in index of bodybuild were better than lower rated children. Longer play time in outdoor activity and stronger attentional capacity helped athletic movement ability. However the activity level was not a deciding factor despite of common belief;
2. Parents' perception of importance of athletic movement alone was not a factor. Mother's physical involvement in children's games was not a deciding factor but it affected children's agility. However, Father's involvement was a deciding factor; it was fathers that were able to improve children's athletic movement ability. Number of toys related to athletic movement and frequency of usages thereof were factors; larger selection and more frequent usage were favorable factors; and
3. Teachers' perception of importance of athletic movement in kindergarten programs was a deciding factor; it was very interesting finding because it represented teachers' role in developing children's athletic movement ability. In addition, physical education in kindergarten program was an important factor.
In conclusion, sex, age, index of bodybuild, attentional capacity, length of outdoor play time, father's involvement, movements home environment scale, teacher's perception of importance of athletic movement, physical education program in kindergarten programs, and numbers of toys and activities were deciding factors in children's athletic movement ability. Also this study suggested that further studies on effects of sex and age upon athletic movement were warranted; in addition, effects of teachers' perception of importance of educating athletic movement should be tested in detail.Also studies on relationship between cognitive developmental level and athletic movement ability would be also interesting and explored.
