- Abstract (English):
- Although swimming is a sport usually practiced by children, little knowledge exists about its effect on motor development. This study aimed to evaluate and compare the gross motor development in children of different ages with or without regular swimming practices. 116 children (58 males, 58 females) aged between 5 to 10 years old, distributed in two groups, those who experienced swimming lessons (n=57) and those who did not have any swimming experience (n=59). The gross motor development was assessed using the Test of Gross Motor Development-2. Children aged between 5 and 10 years old showed significantly higher values in the sum of motor skills (52.23 ± 9.58 vs. 48.69 ± 9.64, p = .04) and the global motor development quotient (68.16 ± 11.57 vs. 64.56 ± 12.04, p = .04). These differences between the groups were more evident for children aged 7 and 8 years (sum of skills: 55.00 ± 8.44 vs. 48.25 ± 9.48, p = .008; quotient: 68.88 ± 10.90 vs. 6.38 ± 11.55, p = .005). In children aged 5 and 6 years, 9 and 10 years, there were no significant differences. The results thus suggest a positive effect of regular swimming practice on the gross motor development of children between 5 and 10 years old, and the results seem to suggest that this is more evident in the middle ages (7 and 8 years old) .
