Motor analysis of some fundamental movement skills in preschool children (5-6 years)

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the kinematic variables that determine the performance of running and throwing skills among pre-school children aged 5 to 6 years. Two of fast running for a distance of 20 meters tests and throwing a tennis ball were conducted for 30 children in Batna.The results showed that the running speed achieved in a 20-meter running test is affected significantly by the following kinematic variables: stride length, stride frequency, support phase time, and flight phase time, respectively, and the distance of the completed ball throw In the tennis ball throw test from the top of the shoulder, greatly affected by the following kinematic variables: horizontal velocity of the ball at launch, maximum abduction angle of the shoulder joint when releasing the ball, elbow joint angle when releasing the ball as well as the angle of throwing or shooting the ball
