Sanne L. C. Veldman; Jessica S. Gubbels; Amika S. Singh; Johan M. Koedijker; Mai J. M. Chinapaw; Teatske M. Altenburg – Journal of Motor Learning and Development, 2024
Aim: This systematic review aims to summarize evidence on correlates of fundamental motor skills in typically developing children aged 0-4 years. Methods: A literature search (PubMed, Embase, PsycINFO, and SPORTDiscus) was performed from 2000 till 23 May 2022. Inclusion criteria was cross-sectional and prospective studies examining associations…

Nana A. Kwofie; Xanne Janssen; John J. Reilly – Journal of Motor Learning and Development, 2025
Background: Several studies have reported low adherence to World Health Organization sedentary behavior (SB) guidelines in the early years. The purpose of this review is to examine the associations between time spent in different types of SB (screen time and habitual SB) and motor competence (MC; fundamental motor skills, fine and gross motor…

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…

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…

Francisco Carvalho; Marcos Onofre; João Mota; Miguel Peralta; Adilson Marques; Ana Quitério; António Rodrigues; Pedro Alves; Wesley O'Brien; João Martins – Journal of Motor Learning and Development, 2024
Children's motor competence (MC) levels tend to be low, and the investigation of variables that facilitate skillfulness is an important concern. The socioecological model is a useful framework to explore factors that influence MC and to inform the development of targeted interventions. This cross-sectional study aimed to perform an exploratory…

Kara K. Palmer; Adam Pennell; Bryan Terlizzi; Michael A. Nunu; David F. Stodden; Leah E. Robinson – Journal of Motor Learning and Development, 2023
This study (a) examined the associations among different performance metrics derived from different strategies (i.e., maximum and average scores) and trials from product-oriented measures of motor skills, and (b) explored how different performance metrics from product-oriented assessments of motor skills change in young children with typical…

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…

Flôres, Fábio Saraiva; Rodrigues, Luis Paulo; Cordovil, Rita – Journal of Motor Learning and Development, 2021
Environments where children move about provide affordances that play a significant role in their development. This research presents the Affordances for Motor Behavior of Schoolchildren assessment tool, which aims to assess the interdependent systems, such as home, school, and sports activities, that can influence 6- to 10-year-old children's…
