Abstract

Basic motor skills are fundamental movements that allow people to develop their coordination and body control. In childhood these skills are developed through play, exploration of the environment or in sports practices such as artistic gymnastics. Objective: Determine the level of development of basic motor skills in girl gymnasts from the Roll&Twist specialized training club. Materials and methods: The present study evaluated 120 girl gymnasts from the Roll&Twist Specialized Training Club; It had a quantitative approach, the Jack Capón test, data questionnaire and club files were used as assessment tools. Results: The participants were between 4 and 7 years old (58%) and belonged mostly to the Pre-1 level (44.17%) and Level 1 (45.83%). It was observed that, in general, the highest scoring tests correspond to the body schema evaluation, 44 (52.8%); tests 2 (balance), 3 (jump and fall), 5 (ball reception) and 6 (1 foot jump), these results showed that the most frequent level of categorization was REGULAR with 48 girls (40%), followed by ACCEPTABLE, with 41 girls (34.17%). Likewise, a final comparison was made indicating a significant difference (p < 0.05), with an average score of 14.4 ± 3.15 for the 4–7-year-old group and 15.6 ± 3.15 for the 8–10-year-old group. Conclusion: These results show the need to implement intervention programs to develop basic motor skills, which will contribute to better future development in sports disciplines and motor development in general.
