摘要:This study is a literature review that summarizes the current state of motor skill intervention programs for young children. An electronic search of the EBSCHOhost data bases was conducted. Fifteen studies met the inclusion criteria of the study. In these studies, 659 children between the ages of 3 to 6 years participated in intervention programs, at their schools, designed to improve their fundamental motor skills. Findings indicated that children had developmental delays before the interventions and the interventions were arranged based on the children’s needs. Locomotor skills, object control skills and stability skills were the targeted motor skills in the interventions. In addition, majority of the interventions were experimental studies and only four studies had retention tests. All interventions, regardless of their approach, were effective. Enhancing motor skill competence in preschoolers can facilitate an active lifestyle in later years.
