Lam, Mei Yung; Ip, Man Hing; Lui, Ping Keung; Koong, May Kay
Early Child Development and Care, v173 n1 p109-18 Feb 2003
This project developed a motor performance instrument for a motor performance award scheme for kindergartners to be used by the Hong Kong Childhealth Foundation. Findings indicated that boys outperformed girls on agility and throwing. Girls performed better than boys on static balance. A marked improvement in agility was noted at age 5.5 years, and in static balance after 4 years of age. Overall gross motor performance improved with age. (Author/KB)
