Abstract

This study investigated the fine motor skill (manuel dexterity) levels of typically developing children between the ages of 9 - 11 who engage in different sports branches in which the hand limb are actively used and who do not do any sports were examined. A total of 210 children, engaged in different sports (Basketball, n = 30; Volleyball, n = 30; Handball, n = 30; Swimming, n = 30; Tennis, n = 30; Chess, n = 30) and not engaged in sports (Sedentary, n = 30), participated in the study. The sample of the study consisted of children who have no health problems and whose dominant hand is right. The manuel dexterity subtest of Bruininks-Oseretsky Motor Proficiency Test-Second Version (BOT-2) was used to examine the level of fine motor development of children. When the results are examined; there was a statistically significant difference between sports branches in terms of making dots in circles, transferring pennies , sorting cards, stringing blocks subtests and total score of manuel dexterity (p<0.05). There was no significant difference between the groups in the subtest parameter of placing pegs into a pegboard (p>0.05). In conclusion; dealing with sports branches in which the hand limb is actively used during childhood period creates of significant difference and positive effect on the manuel dexterity of these children. It is important that children in the developmental age are encouraged and supported to do sports during this period.

EL UZVUNUN AKTİF OLARAK KULLANILDIĞI SPOR BRANŞLARI ÇOCUKLARIN EL BECERİLERİNDE FARKLILIK YARATIR MI?

Abstract

Bu araştırmada, el uzvunun aktif olarak kullanıldığı farklı spor dalları ile uğraşan ve hiçbir spor dalı ile uğraşmayan normal gelişim gösteren 9- 11 yaş aralığındaki çocukların ince motor beceri (el hüneri) düzeyleri incelenmiştir. Araştırmaya farklı spor branşları ile uğraşan (Basketbol, n = 30; Voleybol, n = 30; Hentbol, n = 30; Yüzme, n = 30; Tenis, n = 30; Satranç, n = 30) ve spor yapmayan (Sedanter, n = 30) olmak üzere toplam 210 çocuk katılmıştır. Araştırmanın örneklemini, hiçbir sağlık problemi olmayan ve dominant eli sağ olan çocuklardan oluşmuştur. Çocukların ince motor gelişim düzeyini incelemek için Bruininks-Oseretsky Motor Yeterlilik Testi-İkinci Versiyonu (BOT-2) el hüneri alt testinin tamamı kullanılmıştır. Sonuçlar incelendiğinde; daire içine nokta koyma, bozuk para aktarımı, kartları sınıflandırma, blokları ipe dizme alt testleri ve el hüneri toplam puanı bakımından spor dalları arasında istatistiksel olarak anlamlı fark bulunmuştur (p<0.05). Plastik çivilerin dizilmesi alt test parametresinde ise gruplar arasında anlamlı fark tespit edilmemiştir (p>0.05). Sonuç olarak; çocukluk döneminde özellikle el uzvunun aktif olarak kullanıldığı spor branşları ile uğraşmak bu çocukların el becerilerinde önemli düzeyde farklılık yaratarak pozitif etki oluşturmaktadır. Gelişim çağı içerisindeki çocukların bu dönemde spor yapmaya teşvik edilmeleri ve desteklenmeleri önem arz etmektedir.
