• Gender differences and aging alteration of dynamic balance assessed by walking on a bar in zigzags among children

抄録

It is necessary to understand the developmental characteristics of children’s dynamic balance at the time of nervous system development, especially during coaching or when arranging an appropriate movement environment for children. This study aimed to examine gender and age differences in the dynamic balance. The subjects were aged 3–8 years (boys: 535, girls: 503). To assess the dynamic balance of the subjects, we used the “walking on a bar in zigzags” test; a score of 1–50 points (dynamic balance score) was given on the basis of the distance that they were able to cover on a stick (height, 3cm) that narrowed gradually (width, 6cm-2cm) and displayed a zigzag pattern. Our results showed a significant gender-based difference (F = 8.73, p < .01); however, the effect size was small (η² = 0.01). The dynamic balance score increased with age from age 2 years (boys : 10.1, girls : 10.9) to 8 years (boys : 30.5, girls : 30.9), and there were significant differences between all school years except between 7 years and 8 years. In conclusion, there was little or no sex difference of dynamic balance in the age range of 2–8 years. Furthermore, the dynamic balance develops with age from 2 years to 7 years.
