Diferencias en equilibrio estático y dinámico entre niños de primero básico de colegios municipales y particulares subvencionados

Abstract

Balance comprises a set of static and dynamic positions, which are based on postural control and the development of locomotion activities. The period from 2 to 7 years of age is a crucial time for infant motor development: this is the stage in which children acquire the so-called basic motor skills or fundamental movements. The objective of this research is to determine the differences in static and dynamic balance between first year elementary school students at public schools and subsidized schools. The methodology considered a non-experimental quantitative descriptive research design. The sample was selected by using non-probabilistic criteria and was composed by 92 students. The results of the static balance test show a significant difference (p <0.05) in favor of the public school. However, the result of the dynamic balance test show a statistically significant difference (p<0.05) in favor of the subsidized school.
