Resumen

This study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of a motor intervention program in children aged 6 to 10 years with motor development below expectations and probable DCD, using a quantitative experimental design. A total of 203 students from a state school in Maringá-PR participated, of which 39 were selected for more detailed evaluations. They were divided into experimental and control groups; the experimental group participated in a motor intervention program based on fundamental movements lasting 12 weeks. The following instruments were used: Bruininks-Oseretsky Motor Proficiency Test (BOT-2) and the Movement Assessment Battery for Children - Second Edition (MABC-2), in addition to measuring BMI and abdominal circumference. The results showed a positive and significant effect on the total motor development score in the motor intervention group, with improvements in manual dexterity and balance skills. BMI was identified as a factor that negatively influenced the balance score. It is concluded that the motor intervention was effective in promoting the motor development of children, especially in manual dexterity and balance skills, highlighting the importance of adapted programs to support comprehensive development in school environments.
