Correlation analysis of fundamental movement skills level and aquatic competence acquisition in children aged 4-6 years.

What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Purpose: This study aims to explore the correlation between Fundamental Movement Skills (FMS) and Aquatic Competence (AC) acquisition in preschool children aged 4-6 years. Methods: A total of 120 preschool children aged 4-6 years with no swimming learning experience (60 boys and 60 girls) were recruited in Beijing. All subjects were stratified and randomly divided into an experimental group and a control group (30 boys and 30 girls). Before and after a 6-week (twice a week, total of 12 sessions) aquatic movement skills course in the experimental group, all children underwent FMS and AC testing. Descriptive statistics were performed on the results of the two tests, and the Mann-Whitney U test was used to compare the ΔAC of the two groups of subjects. Analysis of covariance (ANCOVA) and rank-transformed ANCOVA were used for inter-group difference analysis. Spearman rank correlation analysis was used to explore the correlation between FMS and AC acquisition. Results: The locomotor skills, object control, and FMS scores of the experimental group and the control group in the post-test were all higher than those in the pre-test, and the AC post-test score of the experimental group was higher than the pre-test. The improvement levels of locomotor skills ( Conclusion: Learning aquatic movement skills can significantly enhance the fundamental movement skills and aquatic competence of preschool children aged 4-6 years. The control skills of boys are related to their aquatic competence acquisition. Therefore, during the preschool stage, focusing on and cultivating children's fundamental movement skills, especially object control abilities, is of great significance for their effective development of future aquatic competence.
