Abstract:Introduction: Basic manipulation skills in children are a prerequisite for movement and sports skills in adulthood. The aim of this study was to compare basic manipulation skills between children with upper cross syndrome and healthy children.Methodology: The statistical population of the study included two groups of healthy boys aged 10-11 years and children with upper cross syndrome in Piranshahr. According to the inclusion criteria, 45 healthy students and 45 students with upper cross syndrome were selected by random and purposive sampling. The Goniometer-pro android app was used to measure kyphosis, the image J program was used to evaluate the head and shoulders forward, and the Ulrich test (TGMD 3) was used to assess the basic manipulation skills. Descriptive statistics, mean and standard deviation were used to describe the data and One-way ANOVA was used to compare the two groups.Results: There was a significant difference between the basic manipulation skills of children with upper cross syndrome and healthy children (p <0.05). In this regard, healthy children in all skills of manipulation, were better than children with upper cross syndrome.Conclusion: Based on the findings, upper cross syndrome abnormality, which is caused by imbalance between agonist and antagonist muscles, causes limitation of movement and weakness in basic manipulation skills of children, so it is necessary to pay attention to these abnormalities.

The aim of this study was to compare the effective of active video games and sports basic games on the development of fundamental motor skills in elementary school students. The method of the present study is semi-experimental with pretest-posttest design with control group. Sixty male students (age range: 8-11 years old) were selected by convenience sampling and randomly divided into two experimental groups (active video games (XbX), sports basic games) and a control group (inactive video games). The instruments used in this study are the Brunnicks-Ozertsky motor proficiency test, second edition, and the XbX 360 Kinect. First, participants performed motor skills pretest. Experimental groups performed the relevant training program for eight weeks, twice a week and 30 minutes per session. The control group also played passive video games under the full supervision of the Examiner with XbX console. At the end of the training sessions, the second edition of the Bruins Ozertsky motor proficiency test was repeated for all subjects (post-test phase). The results of the present study showed that active video and sports basic groups have a significant effect on the development of basic motor skills. Other results of this study showed that there is a significant difference between groups in the development of fundamental motor skills; these differences were significant with the traditional group, but significant differences were not found between the experimental groups. Therefore, it is recommended that coaches, in addition to sport basic trainings, they should also pay special attention to active video games.
