Gross motor development in children is one of the important aspects that need to be considered by educators and parents. Children who have good gross motor skills will make it easier to get along with their friends. The children will be able to be good in the association. This research was used Class Action Research (CAR) approach by describing the motor learning process. The data collection was used observation and documentation. The rubric of children assessment contains 3 aspects of balance, Jumping (strength), and body agility, using 4 categories there are: Very Good Developing (VGD), Developing as Expected (DE), Starting to Develop (SD), Not Developing (ND), Data analysis is carried out from observations obtained through observation sheets in cycles I and II, after the data collected is to analyzed qualitatively to find out the process of action, then the data is processed using presentation techniques, the processed results are then analyzed descriptively to determine the presentation of the success of the action. The results shows that based on data analysis the results of the discussion that through motor learning methods can improve children's gross motor skills, in Pre-Action, The body balance aspects of the children, the category for VGD 10%, DE 10%, SD 5%,  and for ND 30%. The strength aspects the body of children, the category for VGD 5 %, DE 15%, SD 20%, and for ND 30%. The body agility aspects for children, the category for VGD 10 %, DE 15 %, SD 1 %, and for ND 50%. After taking action using APE in cycle I, the child's gross motor ability increased, the child increased even though it was not as expected. By finished all the weaknesses in cycle I, the action is continued to cycle II, and the results of observation in cycle II show there is a good improvement, The body balance aspects of the children VGD categories 30%, DE 45%, SD 15%, ND 10%, The strength aspects the body of childres, VGD categories 5%, DE 40%, SD 20%, ND 15 %.

The first five years of a children’s age is the period of rapid growth with physical and motor development. Those process will develop well if stimulated continuously. Early childhood always identic with high activity requires the opportunity to express their abilities. Therefore playing method is very urgent inchildren’s gross motor skills and fine motor skills development through a variety of playing activities both indoors and outdoors. Playing is an activity that cannot be separated from early childhood’s world. All playing activities will be carried out happily. By the same token learning by playing will be done happily without any sense of being forced or oppressed.

The purpose of this pilot study was to descriptively evaluate the effects of three different programs on the development of gross motor skills of preschool children with learning disabilities (n = 29). No attempt was made to equate the groups or control for differences between the programs or instructional staff. Two of the programs were used by the respective schools to develop the gross motor skills of their audience. The programs were called occupational therapy (OT) (45–60 min/day, 5 days/week) and adapted physical education (APE) (30 min/day, 4 days/week). A third group was evaluated to determine whether maturational effects had any involvement in gross motor development. This group was called the noninstructional program (NIP) (30 min/day, 2 days/week) and was solely involved in free play. The programs were all in session for the entire school year (33–35 weeks). The results of the study revealed that the children in the APE program made more significant gains across objectives, and particularly on the qualitative measures, than did the children in the OT or NIP groups.

The first aim of this study was to examine the prevalence of below average gross motor skills in a representative sample of US children aged 3 to 5 years. The second aim was to identify socioeconomic and familial characteristics that are associated with below average gross motor skills. Secondary analysis was conducted using the datasets from the 2012 National Health and Examination Survey National Youth Fitness Survey (NNYFS). The NNYFS assessed gross motor skills among 329 children aged 3–5 years, using the Test of Gross Motor Development-Second Edition (TGMD-2). Socioeconomic and familial characteristics of interest, such as family income and family structure, were asked in an in-person interview. This study estimated that one in three US children age 3 to 5 years old (33.9%) scored below average for gross motor quotient. In the gross motor subsets, one in four (24.4%) scored below average for locomotion and two in five (39.9%) scored below average for object control. Children living below the poverty threshold were more likely to have a higher gross motor quotient (odds ratio, OR = 2.76; 95% confidence interval, CI = 1.09–7.00). Girls were more likely to have a higher locomotor score (OR = 2.17; 95% CI = 1.10–4.25). Those living with other child(ren) aged ≤5 years were more likely to have a higher locomotor score (OR = 2.36; 95% CI = 1.01–5.54), while those living with child(ren) aged 6–17 years were more likely to have a higher object control score (OR = 1.83; 95% CI = 1.24–2.69). This study revealed risk factors associated with poor gross motor development, furthering our understanding of gross motor development in early childhood.

Abstract Background Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) is highly prevalent in fragile X syndrome (FXS), affecting 50–70% of males. Motor impairments are a shared feature across autism and FXS that may help to better characterize autism in FXS. As motor skills provide a critical foundation for various language, cognitive, and social outcomes, they may serve an important mechanistic role for autism in FXS. As such, this study aimed to identify differences in motor trajectories across direct assessment and parent-report measures of fine and gross motor development between FXS with and without autism, and typical development, while controlling for cognitive functioning. Methods This prospective longitudinal study included 42 children with FXS, 24 of whom also had ASD (FXS + ASD), as well as 40 typically developing children. The Mullen Scales of Early Learning provided a direct measure of fine and gross motor skills, and the Vineland Adaptive Behavior Scales provided a measure of parent-reported fine and gross motor skills. Random slopes and random intercepts multilevel models were tested to determine divergence in developmental motor trajectories between groups when controlling for cognitive level. Results Model results indicated the children with FXS + ASD diverged from TD children by 9-months on all measures of gross and fine motor skills, even when controlling for cognitive level. Results also indicated an early divergence in motor trajectories of fine and gross motor skills between the FXS + ASD and FXS groups when controlling for cognitive level. This divergence was statistically significant by 18 months, with the FXS + ASD showing decelerated growth in motor skills across direct observation and parent-report measures. Conclusions This study is the first to examine longitudinal trends in motor development in children with FXS with and without comorbid ASD using both direct assessment and parent-report measures of fine and gross motor. Furthermore, it is among the first to account for nonverbal cognitive delays, a step towards elucidating the isolated role of motor impairments in FXS with and without ASD. Findings underscore the role of motor impairments as a possible signal representing greater underlying genetic liability, or as a potential catalyst or consequence, of co-occurring autism in FXS.

This study was undertaken to explore the relationship between language skills and gross-motor skills of 28 preschool children from two private pre-schools in New York City. Pearson product-moment correlation coefficients were calculated for language (revised Preschool Language Scale) and gross motor (Test of Gross Motor Development) scores. Locomotor skills were significantly related to both auditory comprehension and verbal ability while object control scores did not correlate significantly with either language score. These results were discussed in terms of previous research and with reference to dynamical systems theory. Suggestions for research were made.

Physical development in some children with intellectual disability could be delayed. This physical delays can trouble their movement skills. Therefore these children need practices that could improve their gross motoric skills. This research aimed to try out Sikodoka game in order to improve gross motor skills in young children with intellectual disability. Method used was class action research conducted in two cycles and four meetings. Research participants were three young children aged seven to nine years old. The research was conducted in August 2016 taking palce in Kelapa Lima Special Needs School, Kupang. Data collection techniques used were observation and test. Gross motor skills indicators were jumping with one foot skill, jumping with both feet, keeping body balance while collecting “era”, tossing “era” correctly inside the square, and grasping “era” skillfully. Results showed that there was improvement in gross motor skills with mean improvement from pre-cycle 38% increased 23% to 61% in cycle 1. From cycle 1 to cycle 2 improved again 43% making the condition after cycle 2 was 95%. According to the evaluation, recommendations to teachers are to be sensitive to children’s condition that are easy to be divided in their focus, using reward system to attract children’s attention, need to compliment more, uses clapping variations to recover children’s focus, reducing activities that could trigger loud activities, using simple languages, dividing sentences that are clear and not long, and reprating games because children with intellectual disability are easy to forget.

The purpose of this study was to examine the locomotor and object control skills of children, ages 6–8 years, with autism and to compare their performances with the norms reported by Ulrich (1985) for the Test of Gross Motor Development (TGMD). Consistent with trends from the general population, differences were found between boys (n = 10) and girls (n = 5) with the largest differences found in the object control skill performances. Overall fundamental skill delays were demonstrated by 73% of all participants, placing them in the poor and very poor TGMD performance categories. These findings support the need to assess the gross motor skills of young children with autism in addition to other developmental skill areas outlined in diagnostic manuals.

The purpose of this study was to evaluate the impact of the BRAINballs program on second graders’ gross motor skills in a primary school in Vietnam. A total of 55 students (23 boys and 32 girls) aged seven years participated in the study. The research used the method of a pedagogical experiment and parallel group technique (experimental and control group) with pre- and post-testing. The study was conducted in the school year 2019/2020. The gross motor skills performance was assessed by the Test of Gross Motor Development—2nd Edition. The BRAINballs program was conducted twice a week and combined physical activity with subject-related contents by means of a set of 100 balls with painted letters, numbers, and signs. The results showed that the experimental and control groups improved their motor skills after one school year (p < 0.001). However, the analysis of covariance demonstrated that students from the experimental group, compared to students from the control group, showed significantly better scores in both subtests: locomotor (p = 0.0000) and object control skills (p = 0.0000). The findings of this study show that the BRAINballs program had a positive effect on children’s motor performances and may help to better understand the development of basic motor skills of seven-year-old students in Vietnam.
