Burns, Ryan Donald; Fu, You; Bai, Yang; Byun, Wonwoo – Journal of Motor Learning and Development, 2023
The purpose of this study was to determine the associations of device-based assessments of physical activity (PA) and health-related fitness (HRF) with gross motor skills (GMS) in preschool-aged children. Participants were 3- to 5-year-old children (N = 316; 49.6% female) who participated in the 2012 National Youth Fitness Survey. GMS was assessed…

Royo, Emilio; Orejudo Hernández, Santos; Latorre Peña, Julio; Rodríguez Ledo, César – Measurement in Physical Education and Exercise Science, 2023
This study analyzed the factorial structure of motor competence tests designed to evaluate motor development among adolescents, focusing on the two main dimensions of coordination and motor control. To this end, we randomly sampled 1,026 adolescents (45.3% males; 45.7% females, age 13.75 years, SD = 1.28). Participants completed the…

Nate Barnes; HyeYoung Cho; Mick G. Mack – Strategies: A Journal for Physical and Sport Educators, 2024
Pitching velocity is a crucial factor in effective baseball pitching performance. Upper-body-focused training is prevalent in baseball training to increase pitching velocity. However, significant pitchers, including youth league baseball players, suffer from upper body injuries due to the heavy training load of the throwing arm. This article…

Hassani, Fahimeh; Shahrbanian, Shahnaz; Shahidi, Seyed Houtan; Sheikh, Mahmoud – International Journal of Developmental Disabilities, 2022
Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) is a neurodevelopmental disorder that is characterized by deficits in social communication, interaction, and stereotypical behaviours. Children with ASD have not enough opportunities to participate in physical activity (PA), which lead to increase fitness and health problem. The aim of this study was to compare two…

Emamian, Amirhossein; Hashemi Oskouei, Alireza; Azreh, Rasoul; Carroll, Kevin – Journal of Motor Learning and Development, 2022
In previous studies, the acute effects of movement constraints on the countermovement jump performance are investigated; however, the longitudinal effects of implementing the constraint in a training regimen are not well studied. The purpose of this study was to examine the phenomenon of motor learning development due to application of task…

Saleem, Ghazala T.; Langan, Jeanne; McPherson, Jacob I.; Slomine, Beth S.; Mahone, E. Mark; Denckla, Martha Bridge; Suskauer, Stacy J. – Journal of Motor Learning and Development, 2021
Purpose: To facilitate precise diagnosis and provide tailored treatment of postural anomalies in the pediatric population, appropriate assessments are essential. In light of the multicomponent structure of postural control, understanding underlying constructs of an assessment is valuable in selecting and interpreting assessments. This study…

Coker, Cheryl A.; Herrick, Brittney – Journal of Motor Learning and Development, 2021
The adoption of compensatory movement patterns occurs when limitations in mobility, stability, or motor control prevent proper motion from occurring. These dysfunctional movements may inhibit fundamental motor skill development and negatively influence perceived movement competence, impeding the development of physical literacy. Therefore, this…
