Methods: A total of 1040 children aged 7 to 10 years were selected from three primary schools in Nanning by random cluster sampling method. Two-way ANOVA was used to compare differences in basic motor skill scores among children of different genders and ages.
Results: There was no significant interaction effect of gender multiply by age on the development of basic motor skills in children aged 7 to 10 (P>0.05). There was a significant main effect of age (P<0.001) on the total score of fundamental motor skills, total locomotor, ball skills and 13 sub-items, which showed an upward trend with age. Except for run and slide, the other 11 sub-items showed significant gender main effects (P<0.05).
Conclusion: The development level of fundamental motor skills of children aged 7 to 10 years showed an upward trend with age. The effect size of age on the development of children^s fundamental motor skills reached a medium and high level, while the effect size of gender on the development of children^s fundamental motor skills was only low to medium level.
