Purpose: The aim of this study was to observe the effect of a six-month period of purposeful physical plays class on physical self-efficacy and enjoyment of physical activities among preschool girls and boys in Tehran.
Methods: A quasi-experimental study with a pre-test, post-test, and 42 children aged 4 to 6 years in two groups of purposeful physical plays (10 boys, 10 girls) and ordinary activity (10 boys, 12 girls) was done. Participants were selected voluntarily and randomly divided into two groups. Data were extracted using a physical self-efficacy scale and enjoyment of the physical activity, by direct and dependent t-tests with (α = 0.05) and analyzed by SPSS software.
Results: Girls had significantly less physical self-efficacy and enjoyment than boys in the pre-test. Despite a significant increase in post-test scores compared to pre-test in the group of purposeful physical Plays, still, a significant difference in favor of boys was observed in this group (P <0.01).
Conclusion: Participation in physical plays classes that are purposefully designed for children and performed by experts, increases physical self-efficacy and enjoyment of both gender but does not seem to be enough to resolve the difference between girls and boys.
