Description
Summary:The objective of this study was to analyze gross motor development in preschoolers on the islands of Lake Titicaca, considering the variables sex and age. The study corresponds to the descriptive-comparative cross-sectional design. 57 preschool children (31 boys and 26 girls, age M = 5.0, TD = .54) from the islands of Amantaní, Taquile and Uros, located in the province of Puno (Peru), at an altitude of 3810 m.a.s.l. participated. TGMD-2, Spanish version (reproducibility of .82) was used. The results show an average gross motor development (50.9%), with an age equivalent to six years (M = 6.0, TD = .82), one year above its chronological age (M = 5.0, TD = .54). Differences were found between islands (p = .01 .05) or in locomotion development (p = .74> .05), but in object control (p = .00 .05), pero sí en control de objetos (p= .00< .05), al igual que en edad (p= .00< .05). Se concluye en que los preescolares presentan un des
