ABSTRACT

As people's living quality improves and their concern for health deepens, the spiritual and intellectual growth of children of pre-school age is receiving more attention. This paper analyses the sociological factors affecting the growth level of preschool children's motor skills, points out the influence of preschool children's motor skills, explores the sociological factors of motor skills development, and finds that the development level of preschool children's motor skills is affected by a variety of factors. Through targeted motor skills training for children, it is found that professional training can improve children's basic motor skills and comprehensive motor skills. The experiment shows those children's motor skills score has increased by about 7.6%. Family background has the greatest influence on children's motor skills development, followed by educational resources and social environment, and policy environment has the least influence on children's motor skills development. By focusing on these sociological elements in child sport skill on development, problems in sport skill development in children can be better understood and addressed, providing targeted recommendations for policy development and practice.
