The relationship of cognitive abilities and motor proficiency in preschool children - pilot study

Popis výsledku v původním jazyce

This study aimed to evaluate the relationship between cognitive abilities and motor skills in a selected group of preschool children. We measured 56 children (27 girls and 29 boys) with an average age of 5.97 (+-0.42). The level of motor proficiency was measured using the short version of the BOT-2 test while cognitive abilities were measured using the colored trail making test for children. The results showed that girls scored better on all test items, but the differences were not statistically significant except for the category of fine manual control where girls performed significantly better than boys (p&lt;0.01). The effect size of the observed differences in cognitive and motor skill levels between girls and boys had a large effect. In addition, the study found a strong correlation between the level of cognitive abilities and the level of motor proficiency in preschool children (r=0.61; p&lt;0.01) in the whole group as well as when assessing correlations separately for the group of boys (r=0.64; p&lt;0.01) and the group of girls (r=0.50; p&lt;0.01). Moderate to moderately strong correlations have been proved between the level of cognitive ability and the level of motor proficiency in partial motor categories, namely manual coordination (r=0.65; p&lt;0.01), fine manual control (r=0.52; p&lt;0.01), and body coordination (r=0.50; p&lt;0.01). However, the relationship between the level of cognitive ability, strength, and agility was weak (r=0.34; p&lt;0.05).Considering all test limits and preschool age specifics, we can conclude that there is a strong correlation between motor and cognitive abilities. Motor and cognitive ability development are closely related, and the results of this study demonstrate the importance of early screening and complex development. These findings add to the growing body of evidence related to the development of cognitive abilities and motor proficiency.
