Murat Cimen; Semiyha Tuncel; Fehmi Tuncel – Journal of Motor Learning and Development, 2024
This study's objective was to examine whether the relationship between actual motor competence and physical activity (PA) in children is mediated by perceived motor competence (PMC) and physical activity enjoyment. The participants consisted of a total of 167 students (male = 92, female = 75) in 10 different schools in the fourth grade of primary…

Mere Idamokoro; Anita E. Pienaar; Barry Gerber; Maria M. van Gent – South African Journal of Childhood Education, 2024
Background: Motor development of many children in rural areas of South Africa is compromised because of various socio-economic factors, hence, the need to address these developmental needs. Aim: To examine the immediate and sustainable effects of a 9-week movement programme on fundamental movement skills (FMS) of school children. Setting: Seven to…

Carballo-Fazanes, Aida; Rey, Ezequiel; Valentini, Nadia C.; Varela-Casal, Cristina; Abelairas-Gómez, Cristian – Journal of Motor Learning and Development, 2023
We aimed to calculate interrater reliability of the Test of Gross Motor Development--Third Edition (TGMD-3) after raters reached a consensus regarding measurement criteria. Three raters measured the fundamental movement skills of 25 children on the TGMD-3 at two different times: (a) once when simply following the measurement criteria in the TGMD-3…

Odelia van Stryp; Michael J. Duncan; Eileen Africa – Early Child Development and Care, 2024
Developing children's FMS and executive function is a critical aspect of early childhood. The aim was to evaluate the fundamental movement skills (FMS) and executive function. The objectives were to investigate the locomotor and object control skills as well as inhibitory control and working memory of the selected children. Grade 1 (6-8-years-old)…

Ma, Jiani; Duncan, Michael J.; Chen, Si-Tong; Eyre, Emma L. J.; Cai, Yujun – European Physical Education Review, 2022
The present study aimed to examine cross-cultural differences in fundamental movement skills (FMS) proficiency levels in children aged 9-10 years old in England and China, using a process-oriented FMS measurement. Four FMS (run, jump, throw, catch) were measured using the Test of Gross Motor Development-2 (TGMD-2). The sample consisted of 272…

Nathan Gavigan; Johann Issartel; Cameron Peers; Sarahjane Belton – Journal of Teaching in Physical Education, 2024
Purpose: Competence in fundamental movement skills (FMS) is purported to be linked with increased physical activity participation. Yet, recent research suggests a low level of FMS proficiency in children. The aim of this study was to evaluate the efficacy, impact on gender, and influence of teacher fidelity on the Moving Well-Being Well…

Britton, Úna; Belton, Sarahjane; Peers, Cameron; Issartel, Johann; Goss, Hannah; Roantree, Mark; Behan, Stephen – European Physical Education Review, 2023
Physical literacy (PL) is highlighted as a construct that can positively impact physical activity (PA). Measurement methods and definitions for PL exist, but vary between research groups. This variation affects the ability to compare research findings. The purpose of this study was to assess the construct validity of PL in children. PL was…

Nathan Gavigan; Sarahjane Belton; Una Britton; Shane Dalton; Johann Issartel – European Physical Education Review, 2024
Although there is a plethora of tools available to assess children's movement competence (MC), the literature suggests that many have significant limitations (e.g. not being practical for use in many 'real-world' settings). The FMS[superscript 2] assessment tool has recently been developed as a targeted solution to many of the existing barriers…

Maïano, Christophe; Morin, Alexandre J. S.; April, Johanne; Webster, E. Kipling; Hue, Olivier; Dugas, Claude; Ulrich, Dale – Measurement in Physical Education and Exercise Science, 2022
The objective was to assess the psychometric properties of a French-Canadian version of the third edition of the Test of Gross Motor Development (TGMD-3). Participants were 127 French-speaking Canadian children. Results supported the validity-reliability of a bifactor exploratory structural equation modeling representation of the TGMD-3.…

Khodaverdi, Zeinab; Bahram, Abbas; Khalaji, Hassan; Kazemnejad, Anoshirvan; Ghadiri, Farhad; O'Brien, Wesley – Journal of Motor Learning and Development, 2021
This paper aimed to investigate different dimensions of motor competence (MC) by using four commonly administered MC assessment tools (Test of Gross Motor Development-3, Bruininks-Oseretsky Test of Motor Proficiency-2 Short Form, Körperkoordinationtest Für Kinder, and Movement Assessment Battery for Children-2) in a sample of 184 girls…

Pratt, Nicole A.; Duncan, Michael J.; Morris, Martyn G.; Oxford, Samuel W. – Journal of Motor Learning and Development, 2021
There is a dearth of research in aquatic motor competency, a key requirement for primary physical education in order to become physically literate. This study proposes a new assessment protocol for aquatic motor competence and sets out to examine the validity of the Aquatic Movement Protocol (AMP) in children between 7 and 9 years of age. Testing…

Salami, Sedigheh; Bandeira, Paulo Felipe Ribeiro; Gomes, Cristiano Mauro Assis; Dehkordi, Parvaneh Shamsipour – Journal of Motor Learning and Development, 2022
Aim: To examine the latent structure of the "Test of Gross Motor Development--Third Edition" (TGMD-3) with a bifactor modeling approach. In addition, the study examines the dimensionality and model-based reliability of general and specific contributions of the test's subscales and measurement invariance of the TGMD-3. Methods: A…

Gwitaek Park – ProQuest LLC, 2023
Learning prepositions is very important for students with an intellectual disability to engage in functional communication behaviors. In addition, it is important for the students with intellectual disability to engage in physical activity at school because they spend the majority of their waking hours during weekdays at school. One way to…

Ergin, Murat; Ozbek, Sitki – International Journal of Educational Methodology, 2021
The aim of this cross-sectional study is to determine the fundamental motor skills (FMS) proficiency of children with mild intellectual disabled (MID) and to compare their FMS proficiencies in terms of age and gender. This study has three purposes. These are a) Defining the FMS proficiencies of the participants, b) Examining the FMS proficiencies…

Kelly, Lisa; O'Connor, Siobhán; Harrison, Andrew J.; Ní Chéilleachair, Niamh J. – Physical Education and Sport Pedagogy, 2021
Background: Irish school children have demonstrated poor proficiency in fundamental movement skills (FMS) and consistent with international literature, females and overweight children tend to be less skilled than males and non-overweight children. Interventions that are suitable for children of all abilities and which provide long-term…
