Abstract

This study aims to analyze the proficiency level of Fundamental Movement Skills (FMS) in five-year-old kindergarten children. FMS serves as a crucial foundation for motor development and lifelong participation in physical activities. Despite its importance, limited research has examined the actual mastery levels of FMS in early childhood, particularly in urban settings. Addressing this gap, this study employs a cross-sectional design to assess 60 children (30 boys and 30 girls) from three urban kindergartens using the Test of Gross Motor Development-3 (TGMD-3). The results reveal that 45% of children exhibit below-average FMS proficiency for their age, with significant differences between locomotor and manipulative skills. Notably, girls outperform boys in balance and locomotor tasks, whereas boys excel in manipulative skills. These findings highlight an urgent need for early intervention programs and a structured physical education curriculum at the kindergarten level to ensure optimal motor skill development. This study contributes to the growing body of knowledge on early childhood motor proficiency, emphasizing the importance of gender-responsive approaches in designing physical education programs.
