Dynamic Lower Limb Alignment during Jumping in Preschool Children: Normative Profiles and Sex Differences
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Steen Harsted; Lise Hestbaek; Anders Holsgaard-Larsen; Henrik Hein Lauridsen – Journal of Motor Learning and Development, 2024
The natural development of static lower limb varus/valgus alignments during early childhood is well understood. However, our understanding of dynamic lower limb frontal plane alignments is limited, and we lack normative descriptions of this phenomenon for both boys and girls. This study investigated dynamic lower limb alignment during…

The Effect of Attentional Focus on Real-Time Conscious Motor Processing during Tandem Walking in Young Adults
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Shahzada, Shamoon S.; Mak, Toby C. T.; Wong, Thomson W. L. – Journal of Motor Learning and Development, 2023
The theory of reinvestment in experimental psychology suggested that automated performance could be degraded if attention was internally diverted to the process of skill execution. This study examined the role of attentional focus instructions on real-time conscious motor processing (i.e., reinvestment) during tandem walking. Thirty-six young…

Individual Solutions in Motor Learning: Combining Different Analyses
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Profeta, Vitor Leandro da Silva; Campos, Claisyellen Silva – Journal of Motor Learning and Development, 2023
Different individuals learn different solutions to the same perceptual-motor task regardless of the fact that they may undergo the same practice conditions. In the current study, we characterized individual solutions to a perceptual-motor task. Eighteen self-declared right-handed participants were requested to intercept a moving target controlling…

Assessment of Dynamic Balancing Performance of Synchronized Ice Skaters with Sudden Provocation Test via Principal Component Analysis
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Pálya, Zsófia; Petró, Bálint; Kiss, Rita M. – Journal of Motor Learning and Development, 2022
Background: Balancing performance can be affected by regular and high-level athletic training, which has not been fully explored in synchronized ice skaters. This study aimed to analyze the dynamic balancing performance by assessing the principal and compensatory movements performed during the sudden provocation tests and evaluating the parameters…

Validation of a Backswing Developmental Sequence for the Overarm Throw for Force
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Beseler, Bradley; Williams, Kathleen; Plumb, Mandy S. – Journal of Motor Learning and Development, 2021
Background: Roberton's movement components are used to assess fundamental motor skills as segmental developmental sequences. In 1991, Haywood, Williams and VanSant determined that original developmental sequences proposed for the backswing levels of the overarm throw did not encompass all ages. Their study of older throwers identified two new…

Pictorial Scale of Physical Self-Concept for Brazilian Children: Validity and Reliability
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Nobre, Glauber Carvalho; Duarte, Marcelo Gonçalves; Sartori, Rodrigo Flores; Valentini, Nadia Cristina – Journal of Motor Learning and Development, 2021
This study aimed to translate the Pictorial Scale of Physical Self-Concept for Brazilian Children (PSPPS-BR) into the Brazilian-Portuguese language, conduct a transcultural adaptation of it, and investigate its validity. Method: The authors adopted the reverse translation procedures to obtain the PSPPS-BR's Brazilian-Portuguese version. Three…
