Abstract

The Purpose of this research was to determine the effect of a sport program on the motor abilities of 79 Egyptian preschool children (41 children in the experimental group and 38 children in the control group), all at the aged of five. The sport program assigned to the preschool children was applied over the experimental group for 12 weeks, holding every week 3 sessions for 50 minutes. Differences in motor abilities between the experimental and control group were observed pre and post 3months of intervention. The following motor ability tests were used: sit-and-reach, standing long jump, shuttle-run 4×10 m, sand bag (150 g) throw with the dominant hand, sit-ups for 30 sec, and shuttle-run 3 min. The results showed that there was no difference between the groups in pre intervention, while in the final check there was a statistically significant difference showing the advantage of the experimental group, which points out that the children who participated in the sport program improved their motor abilities.
