Abstract

The purpose of this study is to identify physical activity, gross motor, fine motor, and the link between physical activity and gross motor and fine motor in preschool children (3–5 years). The survey method, quantitative approach, and correlational approach are all used in this study. The sample for this study consisted of 28 students from Group A at the TKN Pembina School in the Batu District. The Global Physical Activity Questionnaire (GPAQ) and the Gross Motor Development Second Edition Test (TGMD-2) were the tools employed in this study.In order to determine the lowest, maximum, and mean values using IBM SPSS, descriptive statistics are employed as a data analysis technique. To measure physical activity and motor skills, the fine motor test is analyzed using the Spearman correlation test and bivariate correlation. The findings of this study show that preschoolers at TKN Pembina in the Batu District achieved test results that were in compliance with the WHO guidelines for moderate to vigorous physical activity. According to the examination of the data, there is a substantial correlation between physical activity and gross motor skills, with a significance value. 0.004 < 0.05. While this is going on, the Spearman correlation test reveals that there is no correlation between physical activity and fine motor abilities in preschoolers at TKN Pembina, Batu District, as evidenced by the Significance value of -0.283 > 0.05.
