Abstract

asic Motor Skills (BMS) are those actions that are present in human evolution, must be evaluated and stimulated from an early age in order to generate a solid motor base prior to learning more complex skills. Objective: To evaluate the effects of gamification on the development of Basic Motor Skills of children of the Initial II sublevel of the Ángel Polivio Chávez school. Methodology: For this intervention, a study with a quantitative approach was used, convenience sampling; with the participation of 10 girls and 3 boys, quasi-experimental design; A program was applied for 12 weeks to evaluate the effects of gamification on the development of Basic Motor Skills. Instrument: for the pre and post test evaluation, the modified Gallahue test was used, which is made up of 5 HMB: running, jumping, throwing, receiving and kicking. All these tests have a score, based on which it is classified to the participants according to their stage, for example: 1) Initial; 2) Elementary; 3) Mature. These tests contain referential tables that guide the evaluator in the assessment of each motor pattern, facilitating the determination of the stage in which each boy or girl is located. For the analysis of the data, we worked with the statistical program IBM SPSS. Results: the results show the significant improvement in the HMB of the race, managing to reach all the elementary stage while in the other skills it was not possible to overcome the stage. Conclusions: the use of gamification between the ages of 4 to 5 years was not beneficial for the development of HMB.
