Abstract: (1660 Views)
Introduction: The purpose of this study was to compare the motor games of Iranian and Indian preschool children.
Method: This study was causal-comparative research. The statistical population of the present study was 156 Iranian and Indian preschool children who were selected from 6 preschools in Tehran and Delhi by multi-stage cluster sampling method. The tool used in this research was Sudershan's (2001) movement monitoring test including 4 movement games: imitation, dynamic balance, jumping in a circle, and reaction speed. The data were analyzed using SPSS software version 24 through independent t-test and multivariate analysis of variance.
Results: The results of the independent t-test showed that there is a significant difference in the performance of movement games between Iranian preschool boys and girls and Indian preschool boys and girls, and there is also a significant difference between the performance of movement games of preschool children in Iran and India. The results of multivariate variance analysis showed that there is a significant difference in favor of preschool children in India in the game of jumping in a circle, but there is no significant difference between imitation games, dynamic balance, and reaction speed in preschool children of Iran and India.
Discussion and conclusion: The low performance of Iranian preschool children in the game of jumping in a circle compared to Indian preschool children can be due to the lack of educational space, inactivity, and lack of targeted sports and movement programs in preschool centers.
