摘要

本研究旨在探討國內不同性別之發展協調障礙(developmental coordination disorder, DCD)兒童，其身體活動參與及身體質量指數與正常孩童之關係。333位兒童（男生170位，女生163位）年齡介於9-12歲之間，所有兒童均以Movement ABC動作評估工具篩檢其協調能力，並均實施中譯兒童身體活動問卷(PAQ-C)來評估其身體活動參與量。所得資料以描述性統計及單因子變異數分析進行比較，結果發現：（一）在女孩中，DCD女童PAQ-C分數顯著低於非DCD女童，顯示非DCD女孩的身體活動參與顯著高於DCD女孩，然而在男孩中各組則未達顯著差異；（二）在課餘活動中，女孩中有樂樂棒球及足球二個項目呈現非DCD女孩的參與顯著大於DCD女孩，而在靜態活動的參與時間上，則是DCD女孩多於非DCD女孩；（三）在BMI的分析上，男孩、女孩各組間均未達顯著差異，且均未超過體重過重之標準值。本研究顯示我國中南部9-12歲兒童中，女孩子動作協調能力優劣對於身體活動參與的影響似乎大於男孩，且呈現動作協調能力越差，身體活動參與量越低的情形，這或許與國人對於不同性別子女參與動、靜態身體活動的觀念差別有關。然而動作協調能力在本研究中並未直接影響DCD孩童之身體質量指數。目前關於DCD兒童身體活動情形的研究仍較為缺乏，值得未來研究做進一步的探討。

This study examined the physical activity level in children with developmental coordination disorder (DCD) in different genders. The relationship between the physical activity level and the body mass indexes (BMI) was also explored. The subjects consisted of 333 children (170 boys & 163 girls) aged 9-12 years old who were individually screened on the Movement Assessment Battery for Children (Movement ABC) and assessed with the Physical Activity Questionnaire for Older Children (PAQ-C). Descriptive values were presented as means and standard deviations. A one-way analysis of variance (ANOVA) was used to compare all measurements among three groups in both genders. The results showed that first, girls with DCD demonstrated significantly lower PAQ-C scores than girls without DCD, but boys did not show significant differences in inter-group comparison. Second, in terms of extracurricular activities, only the girl groups (DCD vs non-DCD) differed significantly on baseball & soccer participation. Girls with DCD also showed a significantly higher level of participation in sedentary activities. Third, neither the boy groups nor the girl groups differed in BMI, and the means of BMI of all groups were under the overweight. These results showed that, among these children aged 9-12 years living in Southern and Central Taiwan, girls' motor-coordination ability seemed to influence the participation of physical activity compared with boys, while the worse the children's motor-coordination ability was, the lower the children's physical activity participation was. This might be caused by different attitudes toward the participation of physical/sedentary activities in both genders. Besides, in terms of BMI and the prevalence of overweight, we did not find a definite influence from the motor-coordination ability in this study. We suggested that further research be made in this aspect to examine the attribution between children's motor-coordination ability and the physical activity level from the perspectives of both genders.
