Lam, Hazel Mei Yung; Schiller, Wendy
Early Child Development and Care, v171 p11-20 Dec 2001
Used the Bruininks-Oseretsky Test of Motor Proficiency to examine the gross motor proficiency of Hong Kong 5- to 6-year-old preschoolers. Found that both age groups scored well below norms in running speed and agility and well above norms on balance, bilateral coordination, strength, and upper-limb coordination. Boys were superior to girls on running speed and agility at age 6. (Author/KB)
