Purpose We focused on the relationship between body sway patterns and motor and attentional functions in early childhood, and classified diagrams of body sway into four patterns. Furthermore, the relationship between physical fitness tests and Interactive Metronome (IM) tasks was used to determine whether the body sway patterns are indicators of motor and attentional functions in early childhood. Participants and Methods Participants were 24 male and 26 female children with a mean age of 2,148.1 ± 103.7 days. Participants were evaluated using physical fitness tests, body sway measures, baseline scores on the IM task (the “task average”), and the percentage of perfect hits (“Super Right On”) on the IM task (the “Super Right On” score, or SRO%). Results The association between the body sway pattern and motor and attentional functions was examined, and results revealed that the body sway pattern was only slightly associated with motor functions. However, participants with an anterior-posterior pattern of body sway had worse timing and attentional functions than participants with other patterns, as indicated by a lower task average and SRO% on the IM task. Conclusion These results suggested that anterior-posterior sway may reflect attentional functions when body sway is measured in children such as 6 year-olds.
