The Gross Motor Development Level of Children Aged 9 Years

The purpose of the study is to investigate the age group of children aged 9 years old who have experienced delays in gross motor development. Instrument used in this study is TGMD (test gross motor development)-2, Ulrich, which was adopted at the international level. Gross motor development data were obtained by video recording (Sony DRC-SR42 with a 40× optical zoom capability, and software Ultimate Studio 14) on locomotors and manipulative skills. A total n = 64 persons, children of 9 years (9.30 ± 0.43) at Mutiara Perdana Primary School, Bayan Lepas, Penang were involved as the subjects. The result of the study found that children aged 9 years old experienced delays in age equivalent locomotor score (4.61 ± 0.69), age equivalent manipulative score (5.52 ± 0.62) and gross motor development quotient (7.26 ± 2.14).
