Fine and gross motor skills: The effects on skill-focused dual-tasks
Human Movement Science, 2015Dual-task methodology often directs participants' attention towards a gross motor skill involved in the execution of a skill, but researchers have not investigated the comparative effects of attention on fine motor skill tasks. Furthermore, there is limited information about participants' subjective perception of workload with respect to task ...

Oropharyngeal Dysphagia and Gross Motor Skills in Children With Cerebral Palsy
PEDIATRICS, 2013To determine the prevalence of oropharyngeal dysphagia (OPD) and its subtypes (oral phase, pharyngeal phase, saliva control), and their relationship to gross motor functional skills in preschool children with cerebral palsy (CP). It was hypothesized that OPD would be present across all gross motor severity levels, and children with more severe gross ...

Generality and Specificity in the Learning of Fine and Gross Motor Skills
Research Quarterly. American Association for Health, Physical Education and Recreation, 1967Abstract This study was designed to determine the degree of generality and specificity in the learning of four motor skills. Forty junior high school students practiced mirror tracing, a pencil maze, disc tossing, and a hopscotch-type skill. Each of the skills was practiced for a five-day period.

Effect of Handedness on Gross Motor Skill Acquisition in a Novel Sports Skill Task
Perceptual and Motor Skills, 2013The purpose of this study was to examine differences in performance and form scores between left and right-handers who observed a demonstration with their non-dominant hand. A lacrosse shot was demonstrated to 69 college-aged participants with equal representations on gender and handedness.

School Physical Activity Programming and Gross Motor Skills in Children
American Journal of Health Behavior, 2017We examined the effect of a comprehensive school physical activity program (CSPAP) on gross motor skills in children.Participants were 959 children (1st-6th grade; Mean age = 9.1 ± 1.5 years; 406 girls, 553 boys) recruited from 5 low-income schools receiving a year-long CSPAP intervention.

Control of Muscular Tension in Learning a Novel Gross Motor Skill
Perceptual and Motor Skills, 197115 college women were taught how to relax and how to produce, on command, given percentages of maximum tension through EMG. A comparison was made with 15 control Ss of the ability to learn a novel gross motor skill. Significant differences were found, indicating that learned control of general muscular tension facilitates learning.

Gross and Fine Motor Skills of Left-Handed Preschool Children
Perceptual and Motor Skills, 2001From a population of 765 preschool children 4–6 years old, 31 children (4.1%) were identified as left-handers. Using the two motor subscales A (gross motor) and D (fine motor) of the Griffiths Test No. II, these children were compared with 31 right-handers, matched for age, sex, and preschool attended.

A Study on Gross Motor Skills of Preschool Children
Journal of Research in Childhood Education, 2004Abstract The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of a creative movement program on gross motor skills of preschool children. Sixty children between the ages of 3 to 5 were drawn from the population of a preschool in Taichung, Taiwan. An experimental pretest-posttest control-group design was utilized.

Studies of Transfer of Learning in Gross Motor Skills
Research Quarterly. American Association for Health, Physical Education and Recreation, 1957Abstract Ninety men taking college physical education classes learned six paired gross motor skills with order and method of teaching as variables. Observations seem to warrant the following general conclusions: (1) Skills and activities which involve similar elements and patterns should not be learned at the same time; (2) The method of deliberate ...

Assessment of Fine and Gross Motor Skills in Children
2018Motor skills refer to the movement and coordination of one’s muscles and body. Gross motor skills require coordination of an individual’s arms, legs, and other large body parts for actions such as running, jumping, and throwing. Fine motor skills require coordination of smaller movements between the fingers, hands, and feet for actions such as picking ...
