Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
PDF on ERIC Download full text
Moron, Victória Branca; Barbosa, Débora Nice Ferrari; Sanfelice, Gustavo Roese; Barbosa, Jorge Luis Victória; Leithardt, Daiana R. F.; Leithardt, Valderi Reis Quietinho – Education Sciences, 2022
Studies show that executive functions and motor development are associated with each other and with learning ability. A more technological lifestyle combined with digital culture should be considered a viable alternative to stimulate children's development. Therefore, this study aimed to present a systematic mapping of the literature involving…

Psychometric Properties of a French-Canadian Version of the Test of Gross Motor Development -- Third Edition (TGMD-3): A Bifactor Structural Equation Modeling Approach
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
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.…

Benefits of a Daily Physical Activity Program Supervised by a Physical and Health Education Teacher: Utility of a Mixed Methods Study Using an Ecological Approach
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Berrigan, Félix; Beaudoin, Sylvie; Dubuc, Marie-Maude; Bernier, Pierre-Michel; Turcotte, Sylvain – Physical Education and Sport Pedagogy, 2022
Background: The implementation of a quality daily physical activity program in school is influenced by a multitude of factors. Considering the characteristics and possible interactions of factors when choosing the study methods is likely to influence the interpretation of the results. Mixed methods approach, by collecting both quantitative and…

The Impact of Music Training on Inhibition Control, Phonological Processing, and Motor Skills in Kindergarteners: A Randomized Control Trial
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Bolduc, Jonathan; Gosselin, Nathalie; Chevrette, Tommy; Peretz, Isabelle – Early Child Development and Care, 2021
This study explores how music training impacts the development of inhibition control, phonological processing, and gross and fine motor skills in preschoolers. In a randomized controlled trial, 160 kindergarteners in a music programme, a motor programme, or a control group were examined. Children in the two experimental conditions took part in 19…

Gross Motor Competence and Peak Height Velocity in 10- to 14-Year-Old Canadian Youth: A Longitudinal Study
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Sheehan, Dwayne P.; Lienhard, Karin – Measurement in Physical Education and Exercise Science, 2019
The objective of this study was to evaluate gross motor competence and growth spurt in Canadian youth. Eighty-two children (38 boys, 44 girls) were assessed over a time period of five years. Growth rate was measured quarterly; motor competence was evaluated once per year using the Bruininks-Oseretsky Test of Motor Proficiency. Peak height velocity…

The Nature and Control of Postural Adaptations of Boys with and without Developmental Coordination Disorder
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Przysucha, Eryk P.; Taylor, M. Jane; Weber, Douglas – Adapted Physical Activity Quarterly, 2008
This study compared the nature of postural adaptations and control tendencies, between 7 (n = 9) and 11-year-old boys (n = 10) with Developmental Coordination Disorder (DCD) and age-matched, younger (n = 10) and older (n = 9) peers in a leaning task. Examination of anterior-posterior, medio-lateral, maximum and mean area of sway, and path length…

Developmental Coordination Disorder and Reported Enjoyment of Physical Education in Children
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Cairney, John; Hay, John; Mandigo, James; Wade, Terrance; Faught, Brent E.; Flouris, Andreas – European Physical Education Review, 2007
Children with developmental coordination disorder (DCD) are less likely to enjoy participating in physical education (PE) than children without motor coordination difficulties. However, no studies have attempted to quantify this relationship or examine potentially modifiable mediating variables. Using a large sample (N = 590) of children (aged 9…
