Eligibility

Age
7 Years to 10 Years

Inclusion criteria

Inclusion criteria: have between 7 and 10 years old; be volunteer to participate in research; have the Free and Informed Consent form signed by parents or guardians; motor score below the 15th percentile at MABC-2; have no diagnosis of neurological or physiological problem that prevents the tests

Exclusion criteria

Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
Expected outcome 1. Due to the increase in the number of school-age children with a Coordination Developmental Disorder, we propose to identify them through low motor competence scores punctuated in the Movement Assessment Battery for Children - second edition (MABC-2). The data will be evaluated from the observation of a variation of at least 5% in the pre and post intervention measurements. After identification, we aimed to implement motor intervention to improve the motor competence of these children with BD. The results of motor competence were collected before the intervention and will also be collected in the short and long term after the intervention. We expect that there will be an improvement in the motor competence variable over the time

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
Expected outcome 2. Increased rates of high Perceived Athletic Competence have been shown to have a positive influence on the effects of a motor intervention program, since it has a great impact on children's self-confidence and dedication, whereas is considered the perception that the individual has of their level of motor competence for a certain task. We proposed that the perception be evaluated by the questionnaire validated for Brazilian children Self-Perception Profile for Children (SPPC), using scores that vary in a Likert scale from 1 to 4 for each question. The data will be evaluated from the observation of a variation of at least 5% in the pre and post intervention measurements. The perception results were collected before the intervention and will also be collected in the short and long term after the intervention. We expect that there will be an improvement in the variable Perceived Athletic Competence over time;Expected outcome 3. Children are demonstrating low levels of physical activity and engaging more often in sedentary behaviors. Positive associations between Motor Competence and Physical Activity of children after participation in a motor intervention program were observed. We proposed that the level of physical activity be evaluated through the Physical Activity Checklist Interview (PACI) questionnaire, validated for Brazilian children. The data will be evaluated from the observation of a variation of at least 5% in the pre and post intervention measurements. The results of physical activity were collected before the intervention and will also be collected in the short and long term after the intervention. We expect that there will be improvement of the variable level of physical activity over the time
