Effect of functional badminton games on basic motor skills and sensory integration in 5-6-year-old preschool children: A randomised controlled trial.

ABSTRACT:

Objective

This study aimed to develop functional badminton games for preschool children and investigate their efficacy in promoting basic motor skills and sensory integration.

Methods

Sixty children aged 5-6 years were randomly assigned to an experimental group or a control group. The experimental group received a 12-week intervention consisting of functional badminton games, while the control group participated in regular physical activities. Measures of physical fitness, basic motor skills, and sensory integration were assessed at baseline and post-intervention.

Results

The control group demonstrated significant improvements in the grip test, 15-meter steeplechase test, sit-and-reach test, standing long jump, locomotor subtest, ball skills subtest, and proprioceptio
