Objective: Biomechanical methods were used to explore the influence of age and gender on children’s motor characteristics, and the internal muscle strength were calculated through simulation modeling, so as to provide ideas for the screening of children with diseases and promotion of motor development. Method: BTS motion capture system collects kinematics data; Kistler force platform collects dynamic data, the simulation software(Anybody 5.2)calculates the muscle strength of the lower limb, two-way ANOVA was performed for difference test. Results: gait: SB, SD, SDI and TA muscle strength increased gradually. GMIP muscle strength: 4 years old group is greater than 3-years-old group. SDI and TFL strength: boys’ were greater than girls’. Running: GM muscle strength: boys’ are greater than girls’. PB muscle strength: the 3-year-old group has smallest muscle strength. GMAS muscle strength: the 3-year-old group has the largest muscle strength, boys’ are greater than girls’. Conclusions: (1) Walking: At the striking time, the buffering capacity of ankle is enhanced gradually. At the moment of lifting off the ground, the range of ankle stretching increased gradually, The angular velocity characteristics has a gender difference. The development of hip flexor muscle strength was uneven between boys and girls. The cushioning muscle strength of the ankle was greater in the 5-year-old group.(2) There were gender differences in time parameters of running. The flexion angle of the ankle was larger at the striking time, which was related to different striking patterns. At the time off-the-ground, the 5-year-old group had the largest hip extension angle. Younger children used more frontal plane joint movement and more hip abductor force.
