Abstract

Introduction: The education and development of motor skills as a dimension within the educational process aims to achieve significant changes in the development of motor skills that promote agility in preschool children. Therefore, this research focused on revealing the results of a methodology for developing agility through the combination of motor skills such as throwing, catching, running, and jumping in preschool children.
Objective: To design a methodology that provides a foundation for developing agility through the combination of motor skills such as throwing, catching, running, and jumping in preschool children.
Materials and methods: A pre-experimental study was conducted. The sample was selected using purposive, non-probabilistic sampling; 20 preschool children were selected who met the inclusion, exclusion, and withdrawal criteria. Methods from both theoretical and empirical levels were also employed, including analysis and synthesis, inductive-deductive reasoning, systemic-structural-functional analysis, document analysis, observation, interviews, and surveys.
Results: The methodology involved the application of playful motor activities based on the combination of motor skills such as throwing, catching, running, and jumping. Twenty preschool children participated; 100% showed improved agility through the combination of these skills.
Conclusions: The playful motor activities applied through the combination of motor skills such as throwing, catching, running, and jumping showed a significant improvement in the development of agility.
