The Purpose of This Study is to Reveal the Influence of Active Video Games on Children's Motor Coordination

Effects of Active Video Games on Motor Coordination of Early Childhood--Focusing on Children in Zhengzhou, China

The goal of the study was to understand the effects of active video games on motor coordination in children. The main questions it aims to answer are:

The effect of positive video games on children's motor ability.

Researchers will compare traditional physical activities to see if active video games are effective in improving motor coordination in children.

Participants will:

Play active video games twice a week for 12 weeks Data were collected during the first and twelfth weeks
