Resumen

Se cree que las habilidades motoras gruesas adecuadas son un determinante para lograr una actividad física óptima y de calidad. Esta investigación tiene como objetivo revelar y describir las habilidades motoras gruesas de estudiantes de 7 y 8 años y revelar las diferencias. Esta investigación utiliza un enfoque transversal. Se utilizó el Test de Desarrollo Motor Grueso Segunda Edición (TGMD-2) como instrumento de recolección de datos. Los sujetos de investigación fueron estudiantes de primaria, hombres y mujeres, de 7 y 8 años seleccionados intencionalmente con detalles (N=140; niños=70 y niñas=70). Los data se analysis utilizando el programa IBM SPSS Statistics versión 25. Los resultados mostraron los Cocientes de Habilidades Motoras Gruesas promedio en general (M=83.39, SD=9.2), los Cocientes de Habilidades Motoras Gruesas promedio para el groupo de edad de 7 años (M=84.91 SD=7.8) y el groupo de edad de 8 años (M=81.87 SD=10.2). Asymp Sig obtuvo los resultados de la prueba de Kolmogorov-Smirnov de una muestra. (2-tailed) (0.200>0.05). Los resultados de la prueba de muestras independientes muestran una diferencia significativa en los Cocientes de Habilidades Motoras Gruesas promedio de los estudiantes (p-valor <0.05); el groupo de 7 años tiene una competencia superior en comparación con el groupo de 8 años. Las habilidades motoras gruesas de los estudiantes están generalmente por debajo del promedio; los estudiantes varones tienen habilidades superiores a las estudiantes mujeres en ambos groupos de edad, y la competencia en habilidades locomotoras de los estudiantes es mejor que en habilidades de control de objetos. Es necesario optimizar el aprendizaje de la educación física en las escuelas primarias para apoyar el aumento de la competencia motora gruesa de los estudiantes.

Abstract. Adequate gross motor skills are believed to be a determinant in realizing optimal and quality physical activity. This research aims to reveal and describe the gross motor skills of students aged 7 and 8 years and reveal the differences. This research uses a cross-sectional approach. The Test of Gross Motor Development Second Edition (TGMD-2) was used as a data collection instrument. The research subjects were male and female elementary school students aged 7 and 8 selected purposively with details (N=140; boys =70 and girls =70). Data were analyzed using the IBM SPSS statistics program version 25. The results showed the average Gross Motor Quotients in general (M=83.39, SD=9.2), the average Gross Motor Quotients for the 7-year age group (M=84.91 SD= 7.8) and the 8-year age group (M=81.87 SD=10.2). Asymp Sig obtained the results of the (2-tailed) (0.200>0.05). The results of the independent samples test show a significant difference in the students’ average Gross Motor Quotients (p-value <0.05), the 7-year-old group has superior competence compared to the 8-year-old group. Students' gross motor skills are generally below average; male students have superior skills than female students in both age groups, and students' locomotor skills competence is better than object control skills. It is necessary to optimize physical education learning in elementary schools to support increasing students' gross motor competence.

Keywords: gross motor skills; locomotor; object control; elementary school students
