Objective: To evaluate the efficacy of a “ludomotor” program involving flying kites, with the aim of developing reaction speed. Methods: This study involved the use of three motor reaction tests (MRTs): Simple Reaction Time (SRT), Reaction Time with Discrimination (RTD) and Reaction Time with Discrimination for Complex Tasks (RTDCT). Results: After 65 sessions of the “ludomotor” program with a duration of 45 minutes each, statistical significance was shown in relation to the SRT, MRT and RTDCT, showing the importance of the proposed intervention. Conclusion: It was demonstrated that the intervention designed in this study refined the perceptual motor abilities of the pupils, which was evidenced in the development of their visuomotor coordination.Downloads
