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…

Lianne van Setten; Marleen H. M. de Moor; Mirjam Oosterman; Carlo Schuengel; Annick Ledebt – Journal of Motor Learning and Development, 2025
Although studies have reported links between parental physical activity and their children's motor and physical activity behaviors, understanding of this link remains incomplete and evidence inconclusive. This study explored whether children's motor coordination, fitness, and sports participation are related not only to mothers' sports…

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…

Lopes, Vitor P.; Rodrigues, Luis P. – Journal of Motor Learning and Development, 2021
Understanding the mechanisms associated with engaging in physical activity (PA) is crucial for its promotion. The aim was to analyze the relationship between motor competence (MC) and PA and the role of physical fitness (PF). Participants were N = 1,064 children of both sexes (n = 530 girls) and 7.87 ± 1.17 years of age. MC was assessed with…

Duncan, Michael J.; Clarke, Neil D.; Bolt, Lee; Eyre, Emma; Roscoe, Clare M. P. – Journal of Motor Learning and Development, 2022
One hundred and twenty-one children (58 boys and 63 girls) aged 8-14 years (mean ± SD = 12 ± 1 years) who were regularly engaged in grassroots soccer participated in this study. Participants undertook assessments of fundamental movement skill (FMS) using the Test of Gross Motor Development-3, perceived ability using the Perceived Physical Ability…

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…
