This study explored the effect of table tennis physical activity program on rational pathways and infant motion function in Chinese kindergarten. The subjects of this study were 104 children (50 males and 54 females) in Liaoning Province, China, 52 experimenters (25 males and 27 females) and 52 controls (25 males and 27 females) from October 2019 to December 2019. The research period was 12 weeks in total. The experimental group conducted 36 exercises three times a week, and each time it conducted 50 minutes of table tennis physical activity program. The activity subject time of the control group was consistent with the experimental group, and the Activity content were the regular physical education of the kindergarten.
To carry out this study, Ulrich (2000)'s Test of Gross Motor Development-II (TGMD II) was used as an evaluation tool to examine the differences before and after the experiment.
Data processing was performed using the SPSS WIN 25.0 program to examine the homogeneity of the experimental group and the control group. In order to analyze the basic data, t-test was conducted on average value and standard deviation of the experimental group and the control group. One-way ANOVA and Non-parametric tests were conducted on the differences between the pre-post experimental group and the pre-post control group.
1. Total Preschool children
The difference between the table tennis physical activity program and the regular physical education program after 12 weeks of total preschool children' implementation indicated that the table tennis physical activity program had a greater impact on the improvement of the fundamental movement skills for preschool children than on the regular physical education program. In particular, significant differences were found in the functions of Hop, Leap, Gallop, Slide, Stationary Dribble, Catch, String a Stationary Ball, Overhand Throw, and Underhand Roll.
2. Male Preschool children
The difference between the table tennis physical activity program and the regular physical education program after 12 weeks of male preschool children' implementation indicated that the table tennis physical activity program had a greater impact on the improvement of the fundamental movement skills for preschool children than on the regular physical education program. In particular, significant differences were found in the functions of Gallop, Slide, String a Stationary Ball, Stationary Dribble, Catch, Overhand Throw, Underhand and Roll functions.
3. Female Preschool children
The difference between the table tennis physical activity program and the regular physical education program after 12 weeks of female preschool children' implementation indicated that the table tennis physical activity program had a greater impact on the improvement of the fundamental movement skills for preschool children than on the regular physical education program. In particular, significant differences were found in the functions of Hop, Leap, Slide, String a Stationary Ball, Stationary Drop, Catch, Overhand Throw and Underhand Roll.
4. 36-47 Months Preschool children
The difference between the table tennis physical activity program and the regular physical education program after 12 weeks of 36-47months preschool children' implementation indicated that the table tennis physical activity program had a greater impact on the improvement of the fundamental movement skills for preschool children than on the regular physical education program. In particular, significant differences were found in the functions of Hop, Slide, Striking a Stationary Ball, Catch, Overhand Throw and Underhand Roll.
5. 48-59 Months Preschool children
The difference between the table tennis physical activity program and the regular physical education program after 12 weeks of 48-59months preschool children' implementation indicated that the table tennis physical activity program had a greater impact on the improvement of the fundamental movement skills for preschool children than on the regular physical education program. In particular, significant differences were found in the functions of Horizontal Jump, String a Stationary Ball, Stationary Dribble, Catch, Overhand Throw and Underhand Roll.
6. 60-71 Months Preschool children
The difference between the table tennis physical activity program and the regular physical education program after 12 weeks of 60-71months preschool children' implementation indicated that the table tennis physical activity program had a greater impact on the improvement of the fundamental movement skills for preschool children than on the regular physical education program. In particular, significant differences were found in the functions of Gallop, Hop, Leap, String a Stationary Ball, Stationary Dribble, Catch, Kick, Overhand Throw and Underhand Roll.
In summary, table tennis physical activity items can improve the fundamental movement skills of children aged 3-6. This shows that the locomotor subtest skills and the object control subtest skills have been significantly improved. The content of table tennis activities is characterized by a combination of table tennis sports functions and basic motor functions (the locomotor subtest skills and the object control subtest skills). This shows that in table tennis activities, children can improve picking, picking, playing, and basic table tennis. Grab, throw, bomb, bounce, jump, swing, hit, etc. At the same time, exercise the upper limb movement ability, and improve the balance and coordination of the lower limbs in a variety of footwork movements and training. It can be seen that the object control subtest skills ability to manipulate objects for children is higher than that of the locomotor subtest skills.
Therefore, the "great muscle movement development project" combined with table tennis can improve the level of basic motor functions of children, and strengthen the selectivity of kindergarten physical education projects, thereby concretizing the content of kindergarten education projects. In addition, improve the existing physical education programs; explore children's sports, so that children can choose a variety of suitable sports, so that children in the future can establish a lifelong awareness of sports.
