- Abstract
The purpose of this study is to identify preschool children’s movement behavior and gross motor ability level in the East Tawa Urban Region. The International Physical Activity Questionnaire (IPAQ) and the Test of Gross Motor Development Second Edition (TGMD-2) were employed as instruments in the cross-sectional study. The youngsters in this study are aged 3–5 years and live in the East Java urban region. According to the findings of this study, most children in the East Java metropolitan region engage in physical activity with a range (95% CI: 45.96–54.04), while sedentary activity in front of a screen has a span of more than 1 h each day (95% CI: 45.96–54.04). The descriptive statistical identification results for children’s locomotor skills (20.19–62) and object control (25.48–66.48) were (95% CI: 45.96–54.04). It can be established that movement behavior has a major influence on children’s gross motor skills.
