Relationship between cardiorespiratory capacity and body composition in 13-14 year-old swimmers

Abstract

The objective of this study is to implement physical activity to improve motor skills in 5-year-old children who are receiving the body dimension subject in the transition stage in the department of Cali. To carry out this research, a quantitative approach was used with a pre-experimental pretest and posttest design. A variety of research methods and techniques were used, such as document analysis, interviews, surveys, triangulation and measurement. In the study, physical activity was carried out with a group of 15 5-year-old children, including 10 girls and 5 boys. The data obtained in the study support the theory that participation in physical activity benefits the acquisition of motor skills in 5-year-old children who attend preschool in the department of Cali. According to the evaluation carried out at the beginning of the research, difficulties were observed in the motor skills of 5-year-old children who attend preschool in Cali, such as walking, running, jumping and throwing. The results of the 4 indicators examined in the study presented an improvement with respect to the data obtained in the previous diagnostic evaluation.
