The feasibility of an early-years motor skill school-based intervention research project in a low-resource area of South Africa

The study highlights the feasibility of conducting intervention research in low-resource settings. It notes the challenges of using the MABC-2 due to its cost and time requirements and reports on the initial effect of the program on the motor skills of the participants. Statistical significance of positive results was affected by the small sample size; however, the MID was useful in indicating clinical significance of progress made in general motor skill proficiency and balance. The feasibility study provides valuable insights to effectively plan and conduct a research project and implement a school-based motor skill intervention program in a low-resource area.
