Motor practices should provide children with mature patterns of fundamental skills, but scholarly Physical Education currently does not offer sufficient stimulation. The objective of the study was to evaluate the effect of systematized classes on preschool children's motor coordination. The coordinative level of 84 children aged four to five years was evaluated through the battery of tests Körperkoordinationstest für Kinder, before and after two distinct programs of motor practices, namely the regular Physical Education classes given by non-specialist physical education teachers (control group) and intervention based on a developmental approach (experimental group). The Körperkoordinationstest für Kinder test scores were compared between groups for each moment and between pre- and post-tests for each group. The analysis was stratified by sex and by age, and the effect sizes were calculated. Both groups have improved the scores in all tasks. In the post-test, experimental group achieved statistically higher scores compared to control group for only one task of Körperkoordinationstest für Kinder, but it achieved higher effect sizes in all tasks. The stratified results did differ in relation to the effect of the interventions regarding sex but indicated that younger children might be particularly sensitive to those interventions. We discuss the relevance of systematized contents with organization, variability, progressive difficulty, and suitability to the age range for adequate development of motor coordination in preschoolers.
