Carballo-Fazanes, Aida; Rey, Ezequiel; Valentini, Nadia C.; Varela-Casal, Cristina; Abelairas-Gómez, Cristian – Journal of Motor Learning and Development, 2023
We aimed to calculate interrater reliability of the Test of Gross Motor Development--Third Edition (TGMD-3) after raters reached a consensus regarding measurement criteria. Three raters measured the fundamental movement skills of 25 children on the TGMD-3 at two different times: (a) once when simply following the measurement criteria in the TGMD-3…

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…

Eddy, Lucy; Hill, Liam J. B.; Mon-Williams, Mark; Preston, Nick; Daly-Smith, Andy; Medd, Gareth; Bingham, Daniel D. – Measurement in Physical Education and Exercise Science, 2021
Evidence suggests that children struggle to acquire age-appropriate fundamental movement skills (FMS), despite their importance for facilitating physical activity. This has led to calls for routine school-based screening of children's FMS. However, there is limited research exploring schools' capacity to conduct such assessments. This study…

Wu, Jiamin; Chan, John S. Y.; Yan, Jin H. – Developmental Science, 2019
We examined the developmental differences in motor control and learning of a two-segment movement. One hundred and five participants (53 female) were divided into three age groups (7-8 years, 9-10 years and 19-27 years). They performed a two-segment movement task in four conditions (full vision, fully disturbed vision, disturbed vision in the…
