Shimpei Yamamoto; Yeonghee Lee; Umi Matsumura; Toshiya Tsurusaki – Infants and Young Children, 2025
Crawling is considered an important motor skill for infants. Although infants show variations in their crawling, the association between crawling variations and subsequent development is unexplored. This study investigates the difference in amount of crawling variation between infants with and without subsequent developmental delays. This…

Mark David Williams; Bernard Liew; Fabio Castro; Gary Davy; Jason Moran – Journal of Motor Learning and Development, 2025
The aim of this cross-sectional study was to compare acceleration outputs of the parkour-style "tic tac" action with those of the drop jump and the lay-up shot in youth basketball players. A total of 25 participants (17 boys, 13.80 ± 1.30 years of age; and eight girls, 15.00 ± 0.80 years of age) completed three trials of each action…

Chien-Yu Pan; Chia-Liang Tsai; Fu-Chen Chen; Chih-Chia Chen; Yu-Han Hu; Chia-Hua Chu – Focus on Autism and Other Developmental Disabilities, 2025
This study examined the effect of a 12-week fundamental movement skills (FMS) intervention on the motor skills of 20 boys with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) (ages 3-10 years) in an Asian country and whether the intervention effect would persist for at least 12 weeks after the intervention. In Part I, 10 boys with ASD (Group 1) received the…

Carmen C. Pârvu; Dan Alexandru Szabo; Razvan Tudor Ros?culet; George Danut Mocanu – Journal of Information Technology Education: Research, 2025
Aim/Purpose: This study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of a novel Computerized System for Learning, Correction, and Evaluation in Volleyball (S.C.I.C.E.V) in enhancing the technical performance of beginner volleyball players through immediate audio and visual feedback. The purpose is to determine whether real-time, detailed feedback improves…

Roni Poyas Naharan; Yael Estrugo; Shahar Bar Yehuda; Nirit Bauminger-Zviely – Autism: The International Journal of Research and Practice, 2025
When partners coordinate their movement in time and space to reach a goal, they perform joint action, an important part of every interaction. Joint action involves motor abilities and socio-cognitive skills like theory of mind. Autistic children's lower joint motor coordination (joint action) abilities as well as their motor functioning and theory…

Catherine M. Capio; Rachel A. Jones; Catalina S. M. Ng; Cindy H. P. Sit; Kevin K. H. Chung – International Journal of Child Care and Education Policy, 2025
Health promotion strategies in early childhood are needed to address the global problem of physical inactivity. In Hong Kong, where the movement guidelines recommended by the World Health Organization for young children have been adopted by the health authorities, we implemented evidence-informed dissemination strategies targeting teachers and…

Anna Bäckström; Anna-Maria Johansson; Thomas Rudolfsson; Louise Rönnqvist; Claes von Hofsten; Kerstin Rosander; Erik Domellöf – Autism: The International Journal of Research and Practice, 2025
Sensorimotor difficulties are common in children with autism spectrum disorder, and it has been suggested that motor planning problems underlie their atypical movements. At early school-age, motor planning development typically involves changes in visuomotor integration, a function known to be affected in autism spectrum disorder. However, there…

Fatma Betül Senol; Nezahat Hamiden Karaca – Education 3-13, 2025
This study aimed to determine the motor creativity of preschoolers, to develop a music education programme suitable for the interests and needs of children, and to investigate whether music education is effective in motor creativity. A quasi-experimental design was used to test the effect of music education programme on children's motor…

Thomas Simpson; Lorcan Cronin; Paul Ellison; Thomas Hawkins; Evelyn Carnegie; David Marchant – Journal of Motor Learning and Development, 2025
In physical education (PE), the use of instruction and feedback is central to children's motor skill learning. Recently, it has been identified that instruction, and feedback, which promote OPTIMAL theory motor learning factors (e.g., an external focus of attention, enhanced expectancies, and autonomy support) can enhance children's motor…

Although studies have reported links between parental physical activity and their children's motor and physical activity behaviors, understanding of this link remains incomplete and evidence inconclusive. This study explored whether children's motor coordination, fitness, and sports participation are related not only to mothers' sports…

Jaysveree Louw; Heidi Claassens – Journal of Education and Learning, 2025
This theoretical article examines the crucial role of play-based learning (PBL) in enhancing the mathematical skills of children in the Early Childhood Phase, referred to as Foundation Phase (Grade R-3) learners, within a South African context. The article argues that the traditional approach to teaching early childhood mathematics, where teachers…

Ine H. van Liempd; Ora Oudgenoeg-Paz; Paul P. M. Leseman – Child Development, 2025
Object exploration is considered a driver of motor, cognitive, and social development. However, little is known about how early childhood education and care settings facilitate object exploration. This study examined if children's exploration of objects during free play was facilitated by the use of particular spatial components (floor, tables,…

Katri Savolainen – Environmental Education Research, 2025
There is a rapidly growing trend in Western countries to offer preschool education in nature. More information is urgently needed on whether the use of nature as a learning environment has beneficial or debilitating effects on the development of children's general school readiness skills. This study examined the differences in parent-reported…

Drawing on social constructivist learning theory and a conceptual framework for meaningful physical education (MPE), the purpose of this self-study was to present and explore how one teacher-researcher (TR) evolved their approach to implementing pedagogy promoting MPE in an alternative secondary/high school education setting. Utilizing self-study,…

Background: Current UK measures of early spoken language comprehension require manipulation of toys and/or verbal responses and are not accessible to children with severe motor impairments. The Computer-Based Instrument for Low motor Language Testing (C-BiLLT) (originally validated in Dutch) is a computerized test of spoken language comprehension…
