Objective: The objective of this study was to compare the gross motor skills and proprioceptive sensory deficits of children aged 8 to 10 years who regularly participated in sports activities with those who did not engage in any physical activity. Material and Methods: The study participants were two groups of children aged 8-10 years: those who did not participate in any sports activity (n=15) and those who regularly participated in taekwondo and karate exercises for at least 2 years (n=15). A battery of motor skill tests was conducted, including bilateral coordination, balance, speed agility, and strength. These tests were administered using the Bruininks Oseretsky Motor Competence Short Form. Additionally, measurements of the knee joint at 45° and 60° of flexion and 10° of dorsiflexion-30° of plantar flexion of the ankle joint were taken, along with sensory losses using a digital goniometer which is one of the techniques used to measure joint position sense. Results: The results indicated that while there was no significant difference in bilateral coordination and balance between the two groups, the sports group exhibited significantly higher scores in speed agility, strength, and overall gross motor skill proficiency. Additionally, the sports group showed lower proprioceptive sensory losses compared to the non-sports group. Conclusion: These findings underscore the positive impact of regular physical activity on children's motor skill development and proprioceptive abilities, emphasizing the importance of encouraging children to engage in sports for their overall health and well-being.

Amaç: Bu çalışmanın amacı, 8-10 yaş arası çocukların düzenli olarak spor aktivitelerine katılanları ile hiçbir fiziksel aktiviteye katılmayanların kaba motor becerileri ve proprioseptif duyu eksikliklerini karşılaştırmaktır. Gereç ve Yöntemler: Çalışma katılımcılarını 8-10 yaş arası herhangi bir spor aktivitelerine katılmayan (n=15) ve en az 2 yıldır düzenli olarak tekvando ve karate egzersizlerine katılan (n=15) çocuk katılımcılar oluşturmaktadır. Katılımcıların kaba kotor beceri değerlendirilmeleri bilateral koordinasyon, denge, hız-çeviklik ve kuvvet testlerini içeren Bruininks Oseretsky Motor Yeterlilik Kısa Formu kullanılarak gerçekleştirilmiştir. Ek olarak, diz ekleminin 45° ve 60° fleksiyonda, ayak bileği ekleminin ise 10° dorsifleksiyon-30° plantar fleksiyonda proprioseptif duyusal kayıpları dijital gonyometre ile eklem pozisyon hissini değerlendirme tekniğini kullanarak katılımcıların proprioseptif duyu kayıpları değerlendirilmiştir. Bulgular: Araştırmanın bulguları incelendiğinde; iki grup arasında bilateral koordinasyon ve denge açısından anlamlı bir fark olmadığı, ancak spor yapan grubun hız-çeviklik, kuvvet ve toplam kaba motor beceri puanlarında anlamlı derecede yüksek skorlar sergilediği ortaya çıkmıştır. Ayrıca, sportif olarak aktif olan grubun, proprioseptif duyusal kayıplarında spor yapmayan gruba göre daha düşük değerler gösterdiği görülmüştür. Sonuç: Sonuç olarak araştırmamızın bulguları, düzenli fiziksel aktivitenin çocukların motor beceri gelişimi ve proprioseptif yetenekleri üzerindeki olumlu etkilerini vurgulamakta ve çocukların genel sağlık durumları için spor yapmalarının teşvik edilmesinin önemini ortaya koymaktadır.
