The present study investigated the feasibility of applying the Silent Way in teaching Japanese to Taiwanese university students. A total of 168 (96 female and 72 male) students in a university in central Taiwan were the subjects of this study. They were studying Japanese as a general course, and were grouped in five classes ranging from freshmen to juniors. Some basic principles and techniques of the Silent Way were adopted in teaching them some vocabulary and 50 Japanese Hiragana sounds during six successive sessions in three weeks. Each administration took about 20 minutes embedded in the normal class time. A 25-item Hiragana sounds oral test was used as the pre-test and post-test in order to examine the effects of applying this method. Using a paired sample T-test (α ≤.05) significant difference between students’ knowledge of the Japanese sounds before and after the experiment was observed. However, comparing female and male students’ gained scores via applying a Mann Whitney U-test, no significant difference was observed. Thus, this study shows that the Silent Way can be used in teaching Japanese sounds and vocabulary, and that the effects for both females and males seem to be the same.

ABSTRACT This cross-sectional study sought to evaluate motor development in infants exposed to ZIKV born with normal head circumference (HC). Thirty one children, distributed into two groups, participated in the study: 15 whose mothers were infected by ZIKV during pregnancy, born with HC from −1.9 to +2 Z-scores, adjusted for sex and gestational age (exposed group); and 16 randomly selected infants without known prenatal exposure to ZIKV, paired by sex and age (control group). Alberta Infant Motor Scale (AIMS) was used to evaluate gross motor development. We found no significant difference between the exposed and control groups. However, considering that AIMS is a screening test that assesses only the gross motor development and the small size of our sample, infants exposed to ZIKV during pregnancy should be continuously evaluated for different aspects of their development.

Gross motor development is an essential factor for specific skills required in different sports. This study aimed at assessing the level of gross motor development of school children in the district of Kuala Pilah. The objectives of this study are to identify the level of locomotor and object control amongst the children in the area, identifying the different developments of gross motor skills amongst children based on their gender and identifying the different developments of gross motor skills amongst the children based on the location of the schools. This study is non-trivial as the development of gross motor control in children are significant for their involvement in sports, games and recreational activities. Failure to control motor skills may have an impact on the children in the context of their daily interactions, self-confidence, and learning ability. This study involves 160 children aged 7 years old pooled from 8 different primary schools. The data collected was analysed based on the TGMD (Test of Gross Motor development) and interpreted via the GMQ (Gross Motor Quotients). The result from the t-test suggests that there is no significant difference between the genders concerning the gross motor development of children in the district of Kuala Pilah. However, if was found that there is a significant differences between children of urban and rural schools based on the measured gross motor development.

AbstractThis descriptive, quantitative, and cross-sectional study aimed at the relationship between motor development and the nutritional status of schoolchildren aged eight to ten years from the city of Novo Hamburgo. One hundred forty-five students (80 boys and 65 girls) participated in the study, duly enrolled in the municipal school system, and belonged to different schools and regions of the same municipality. The study instruments used were Ulrich's Test of Gross Motor Development - Second Edition (TGMD-2) (2001), the Ministry of Health's food frequency questionnaire, and anthropometric assessments of weight, height, and body mass index (BMI). For data analysis, mean, dispersion measure, frequency and percentage were used. To compare the data, Student's t test was used with tabulation of primary data in the program SPSS 26.0. The results showed that there was no relationship between the nutritional status and motor development of those investigated. However, it was observed that there is a statistically significant difference regarding the time that students spend watching television. Thus, it is understood that the nutritional status is related to the prolonged use of screens, which leads to overweight and obesity and keeps students away from physical activities. Keywords: Motor Skills. Nutritional Status. Child. ResumoO presente estudo descritivo, de caráter quantitativo e transversal, buscou a relação entre o desenvolvimento motor e o estado nutricional de escolares de oito a dez anos de idade, da cidade de Novo Hamburgo. Participaram do estudo 145 escolares (80 meninos e 65 meninas) matriculados na Rede Municipal de ensino que pertenciam a diferentes escolas e regiões do mesmo município. Como instrumentos de estudo foram utilizados o Test of Gross Motor Development – Second Edition (TGMD-2) de Ulrich (2001), o questionário de frequência alimentar do Ministério da Saúde e avaliações antropométricas de peso, estatura e o índice de massa corporal (IMC). Para análise dos dados, utilizou-se média, medida de dispersão, frequência e percentual. Para a comparação dos dados utilizou-se o teste estatístico t de Student com tabulação dos dados primários no programa SPSS 26.0. Os resultados apontaram que não houve relação entre o estado nutricional e o desenvolvimento motor dos investigados. Entretanto, observou-se que há diferença estatística significativa quanto ao tempo em que os escolares permanecem assistindo televisão. Desse modo, entende-se que o estado nutricional pode estar relacionado ao uso prolongado de tela, o que conduz ao sobrepeso e obesidade e afasta os escolares de atividades físicas.

Core Training

This study aims to analyze the effects of 6-week core training on certain biomotor abilities for footballers in the pubertal period. Accordingly, 30 male footballers who attend football courses regularly participated in the study. Footballers were divided into two groups; 15 of them were assigned to the Core Training Group (CTG) (age: 9.73 years; height: 139 cm; and body weight: 33.66 kg.) while 15 of them were assigned to the Conventional Training Group (CONTG) (age: 10.06 years; height: 139 cm; and body weight: 35.32 kg). While CONTG was applying the traditional training protocol, CTG additionally applied core strength exercises (two days a week for 10-15 min.). The selected biomotor tests were applied to both groups before and after the 6-week application. Between pre- and post-test values in the CTG, a statistically significant difference was found in flamingo balance, core stabilization balance, hand grip strength, 30 sec. abdominal crunch and 30 m sprint tests (p<0.05). In the CONTG, a statistically significant difference was found in 30-second push-up test values between pre- and post-tests (p<0.05). Comparing the pre-tests between groups, a statistically significant difference was found in flamingo balance and vertical jump tests (p<0.05). Also, comparing the post-tests, a statistically significant difference was found in core stabilization balance and vertical jump tests (p<0.05). As a result of this study, it was found that core training to be performed in addition to the traditional football training positively contributed to basic motor development.

Normal growth and development are indicators of the success of infant cardiac transplantation. The clinical transplant coordinator must be aware of age-appropriate milestones in gross motor, fine motor, language, cognitive, and social skills, so that accurate assessment and early intervention can be instituted. In this review of five cases, gross motor development was the only category with consistently lower scores. Gross motor development did improve in the two cases tested more than once. Length of hospitalization before and after transplantation and use of sedative medications during the waiting period may have affected developmental outcome scores.

This study aimed to determine the level of gross motor development of children aged eight to ten years involved in individual (I) and team (T) sports by using the Tests of Gross Motor Development-2 (TGMD-2) method. This study is an ex-post factor involving 360 children in their early schooling stages (M = 180, F = 180). The study involved 2 types of sports: individually (Athletics = 60, Badminton = 60, Taekwondo = 60) and team (Handball = 60, Hockey = 60, Basketball = 60). Descriptive analysis has shown the level of performance for individual sports AEL (M = 8.24, SD = 1.02, DR = Average), AEM (M = 7.16, SD = 0.92, DR = Below Average) and GMDQ (M = 87.87, SD = 5.4, DR = Below Average). For team sports, the age equivalence levels of AEL (M = 8.05, SD = 1.23, DR = Average), AEM (M = 7.84, SD = 1.07, DR = Below Average) and GMDQ (M = 90.02, SD = 6.57, DR = Below Average). There was a significant difference for individual and team sports on the AEL score t (358) = 1.64, p = 0.00. While there was no significant difference for individual and team sports on the AEM score t (358) =-6.45, p = 0.27 and GMDQ t (358) =-3.39, p = 0.06. MANOVA analysis showed that there were significant differences for AEL, AEM and GMDQ scores for athletics, badminton, taekwondo, handball, hockey, and basketball with [F (15,972.12) = 11.82, p <0.001, eta squared = 0.14]. Individual sport types had an AEL age delay of -1.27 years and an AEM of -2.15 years in contrast to team sports with an AEL age delay of -1.25 years and an AEM of only -1.37 years. ANCOVA analysis showed that gender and age could influence the level of gross motor development of individual and team sports. Implementing the gross motor development test provides knowledge and information to teachers and coaches to know athletes’ gross motor acquisition. Teachers and coaches could also design a training program to help athletes strengthen their gross motor development and improve their athletic performance.
