Brief Summary

The goal of this clinical trial is to examine the relationship between children's physical exercise behavior and children's Fundamental Motor Skills (FMS) before and after changing the influencing factors of 6-year-old children's physical exercise behavior in Guangdong Province, China. The main question it aims to answer is:

Is there any change of the relationship (time, group, and interaction) between 6-year-old children's physical exercise behaviour and children's Fundamental Motor Skills (FMS) before and after the physical activity intervention of the influencing factors in Guangdong Province, China?

Participants will:

Intervention group, Length: 12 weeks, 40 minutes, twice a week. The intervention will be conducted using a relevant physical fitness training program.

Control group, Length: 12 weeks. Content: Physical exercise using kindergarten standards.

Researchers will compare the data before and after the intervention to know whether the Fundamental Motor Skills (FMS) of 6-year-old children have changed.
