| Descripción: | The aim of this study was to determine the effect of physical education classes in 12 fundamental motor skills (FMS). Preschool students (M = 6.09±0.5 years old) were randomly assigned to a control group (6 boys and 7 girls) who performed the regular preschool class (which includes one 30- minutes session per week); experimental group 1 (6 boys and 6 girls) who received the regular preschool class plus 1 session of 30 minutes per week of the intervention program; or experimental group 2 (6 boys and 7 girls), who received the regular preschool class plus 1 session of 60 minutes per week of the intervention program; during 8 weeks (n=38). All participants performed the Test of Gross Motor Development (TGMD-2) before and after the study. A one-way MANOVA reflected a similar behavior in al FMS in the pre-test. A two-way MANOVA (group x time) reflected no interaction in the 12 FMS; also in the 6 object control FMS; but there was an interaction in the 6 locomotor FMS. In conclusion, 90-minutes of physical education classes per week only benefit the FMS of galloping and hopping. |
