Description

This study aimed to examine the relationship between the results of children’s fitness test and participation frequency in the extracurricular program of physical fitness in preschool. The subjects were 158 children aged four or five years old. Children’s fitness tests were as follows: 10 meter agility shuttle, balance beam walking, jumping on one foot in a continuous circle, ball throwing, and standing long jump. There were two types of exercise programs: one was the play of motion seeking to acquire a variety of moves and mat exercise and horizontal bar work etc. (PE); the other was water play and swim-based activities (SWIM). Both programs were divided into small groups, and conducted for about 45 minutes. The number of participants in each program was as follows: PE: n=46, SWIM: n=15, BOTH (both PE and SWIM): n=75, NON (Nonparticipation): n=22. Physical fitness test scores were compared with the average value of each group and the following results were obtained. In the 10 meter agility shuttle, there was a significant difference between SWIM and NON. In the ball throwing and standing long jump, NON was significantly lower compared to PE, SWIM and BOTH.
