          Abstract

          O objetivo desta investigação foi avaliar e comparar o desempenho motor de pré-escolares praticantes e não-praticantes de atividade física sistemática. Participaram do estudo 88 crianças (52 praticantes e 36 não-praticantes), com idades entre quatro e seis anos, matriculadas em turmas de Jardim de Infância de cinco escolas de Porto Alegre/RS. Foi aplicado um questionário para verificar o nível de atividade física das crianças; e, para a análise do seu desempenho motor foi utilizado o Test of Gross Motor Development - Second Edition (TGMD-2), de Ulrich (2000). Os resultados evidenciaram que, embora ambos os grupos tenham exibido desempenho motor abaixo do esperado para a sua idade, os praticantes apresentaram desempenho superior ao de não-praticantes em habilidades locomotoras, de controle de objetos e no coeficiente motor amplo.

          The purpose of this study was to assess and to compare the motor performance of preschool children engaged and not engaged in systematic physical activity (SPA). Eighty-eight children (52 engaged and 36 not engaged in SPA), aged 4-6 years, attending kindergarten classes at five schools in Porto Alegre, RS, participated in the study. A questionnaire was applied to verify the level of physical activity of the children, and the Test of Gross Motor Development - Second Editon (TGMD-2) of Ulrich (2000) was used for the analysis of motor performance in the children. The results evidenced that, although both groups have shown a level of motor performance below the average for their ages, the group of children engaged in SPA showed better performance in the locomotor skills, in the object control, and in the gross motor quotient than the group of children not engaged in SPA.
