Abstract

In child development, motor activities are of real importance to interpersonal relations, proprioceptive and environmental. Whereas the teaching of rhythmic activities in the school environment can contribute to more effective communication and apprehension of the world by students, helping to develop better perception and spatial-temporal parallel body image, this study was to evaluate the contributions of a program of rhythmic activities for motor development in relation to the variables balance, body scheme, General Motor Age, Motor Quotient General and Chronological Age. All variables showed significant improvements, but most significant was made to balance. So the program of rhythmic activities apply to the school environment and can give contributions to the development of students.
