Abstract：
This study aimed at investigating (1) the cognitive and motor predictors of divergent movement ability (DMA) in childhood and (2) the role of sport and enriched physical education (PE) experience. Participants were 165 fifth graders, aged 10-11 years, with different histories (onset and duration) of participation in enriched PE. They were assessed in cognitive/attentional and motor/sport skills and active play/sport habits at baseline, and six months later in DMA. Results of regression analyses showed an overall prediction of DMA by sport practice and a nuanced prediction of individual DMA indices (fluency, flexibility, originality) by decision making and spatial attention ability. Linear mixed models revealed better DMA in children exposed to enriched PE, with differential effects on DMA indices depending on its duration and earlier/later onset. The results identify novel cognitive determinants of children\'s DMA and suggest that sport practice and experience of designed enrichment in PE may benefit DMA.
摘要：
这项研究旨在调查（1）儿童期不同运动能力（DMA）的认知和运动预测因子，以及（2）运动的作用和丰富的体育教育（PE）经验。参与者是165名五年级学生，10-11岁,具有不同的历史（发病和持续时间）参加丰富的PE。在基线时评估他们的认知/注意力和运动/运动技能以及积极的游戏/运动习惯。六个月后在DMA。回归分析的结果表明，通过运动实践对DMA进行了总体预测，并对各个DMA指标进行了细致入微的预测（流畅性，灵活性,独创性)通过决策和空间注意力能力。线性混合模型显示，暴露于丰富PE的儿童DMA更好，对DMA指数的影响不同，具体取决于其持续时间和早期/晚期。结果确定了儿童DMA的新认知决定因素，并表明体育实践和设计丰富的体育经验可能有利于DMA。
