| Research Abstract |
The purpose of this research was to evaluate motor control performance such asbalance, agility, joint mobility, and shock attenuating capacity of preschool children, and to clarify the relations between those functions and their daily physical activity levels. In addition, this research also aimed to determine the relations betweenmeasured variables in this study and subjective evaluation of physical fitness level / daily physical activity level by their parents / nursery teachers. As the results, significant correlations were obtained in agility evaluated by reaction time and joint mobility evaluated by sit-and-reach test with age. Although significant correlation was not found between the age and balance, significant correlation was obtained between height, weight, and the muscle thickness of the leg, suggesting that balance control would improve by the development. Shock attenuating capacity evaluated by peak ground reaction force on drop landing might be an independent variable among other motor control performance, since there was no significant correlation between peak ground reaction force on landing with any measured variables in this study.
