Dynamic exercises in the development of visuomotor coordination in children at the initial level

Abstract

This study focuses on the analysis of the practice of dynamic exercises in the development of visual-motor coordination. The objectives were focused on the theoretical foundation of the two study variables and on establishing the level of visual-motor coordination at initial level II, with the goal of selecting dynamic exercises that strengthen this visual-motor skill. The research has an exploratory-descriptive scope, as it allows for in-depth information regarding both variables. A quantitative approach was adopted, which facilitated the collection of data from the research population. The technique and instrument used allowed measuring the level of visual-motor coordination in children through the application of the 3JS Test with its 7 activities. The statistical results supported the alternative hypothesis, demonstrating that the study population presents adequate development of visual-motor coordination; however, weaknesses were identified in certain areas of the motor domain. This confirms the need to strengthen the practice of dynamic exercises as a pedagogical strategy to optimize motor development. In this sense, the study not only describes the current state of visual-motor coordination, but also provides practical activities that promote body stability, muscle strength, and hand-eye coordination simultaneously.
