Martins, Clarice; Webster, E. Kipling; Bandeira, Paulo Felipe Ribeiro; Staiano, Amanda E. – Journal of Motor Learning and Development, 2022
Fundamental motor skills (FMSs) are building blocks for future movements and may vary according to cultural context. Moreover, network analysis can identify which skills contribute most to an overall set of skills. This study identified the most influential FMS in samples of U.S. and Brazil preschoolers that may contribute to a pattern of adequate…

Valentini, Nadia Cristina; Nobre, Glauber Carvalho; Zanella, Larissa Wagner; Pereira, Keila G.; Albuquerque, Maicon Rodrigues; Rudisill, Mary Elizabeth – Journal of Motor Learning and Development, 2021
Background: The Test of Gross Motor Development--3 (TGMD-3) is used to assess locomotor (LOCS) and ball (BS) skills in children. This test provides relevant information for evaluating learning and determining teaching efficacy. However, conducting and coding the test is time consuming. A screening form may improve its usage in specific settings…

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…
