Abstract

The purpose of this study is to determine the effectiveness of stimulation through playing on a relay and playing on a circuit against gross motor skills in early childhood. Motor skills are divided into two parts, namely gross motor and fine motor skills. Gross motor skills involve large muscles and fine motor skills involve small muscles. The participants in this study were the children of kindergarten budding jasmine with a total of 68 people. All children were used as samples by using population sampling techniques. The sample was divided into two groups; group A received treatment playing on a circuit and group B received a relay treatment. The instruments used to measure gross motor skills consisted of five points, namely (1) speed - 25 meters running, (2) strength - tennis ball throw, (3) explosive strength of the legs – standing broad jump, (4) balance - walking on 4 meters long balance beam, and (5) agility - shuttle run passing the cones with 4 meter distance. Data analysis was conducted by using ANOVA with a significance level of 5%. The results showed that circuit and relay play were very influential on the gross motor skills P < 0.05. The relay play was very effective for increasing leg power and arm power while the circuit play was more effective in increasing speed, agility and balance P < 0, 05.
