A Meta-analysis Protocol Among Active Healthy Kids Report Cards’ Indicators In East Asian Regions

PURPOSE: To examine the relationships between parental support for children‘s physical activity and perceptions of the child's athletic competence with their child‘s gross motor development. METHODS: 28 parents (36 + 11 yrs) completed a survey to assess indicators of support for their child‘s physical activity and child‘s athletic competence in relation to the child‘s peers. 41 children (20 males, 20 females, 1 unreported gender, 6.72 + 3.13 yrs, BMI 16.43 + 2.85) completed the Test of Gross Motor Development (TGMD2) which was converted to an age adjusted percentile score for both locomotor ability and object control. Bivariate correlations and independent sample t-tests were performed to identify relationships between variables and child gender differences. RESULTS: No relationship was found between parental perception of coordination and child‘s object control skills (r= -0.001) or locomotor ability (r= 0.069). Parental support for physical activity was not related to the child‘s object control (r= 0.016) or locomotor ability (r= -0.118). A moderate positive relationship exists between parental perceptions of boys coordination and their object control scores (r= 0.414) and a moderate negative relationship exists for girls (r= -0.497). There were no differences between boys and girls for object control scores (boys: 61.65 + 24.57; girls: 57.95 + 21.75; t= 0.504, df= 38, p= 0.617), locomotor ability (boys: 74.75 + 22.31; girls: 75.75 + 20.51; t= -0.148, df= 38, p= 0.883) or parental support (boys: 8.68 + 3.45, girls: 9.44 + 3.65; t= -0.651, df= 35, p= 0.519). CONCLUSIONS: Parental support for physical activity and how parents perceive their child‘s ability are not reliable indicators of their child‘s demonstrated motor ability. This may be especially true for young girls whose parents parents perceive them as less coordinated than they are.
