A avaliação do equilíbrio de escolares de anos iniciais

Abstract

Introduction: The development is a process with complies sequential order, predictable and consistente. The balance allows the biped and erect posture, by making adjustments of internal and externa mechanisms. To achieve optimal levels of balance the maturation of the vestibular, visual and somatosensory systems ir required. Objective: The ain of this job was evaluate and describe schoolchildren balance the bahavior of six to eight years. Metodology: This job included the participation 155 subjects, between 6 and 8 years were divided into age groups in months. The group 6I mean de 75,13±1,3 months. The group 6II mean 80,74±1,74 months. For the group 7I mean de 86,65±1,68 months. The group 7II mean 92,43±1,71 months. The final group, group 8I mean 96,38±2,96 years old. All schoolchildren of classes 1, 2 and 3 grade of elementar school. The tests used were taken from the protocol of Bruiniks-Oseretsky Test of Motor Proficiency. Results: The tests results showed that the group are in a linear development in both balance tasks. It is observed that the individuals of the newest groups are less proficient than the older groups. Conclusion: Therefore, we conclude that linearity of the results for each groups is na absolutely normal and expected behavier for the study variables and that these improvements enshire a sequence that all human beings tend to go through and overcome, being a natural climb to great performance physical and motor skills.
