Imamoglu, Mehmet; Ziyagil, Mehmet Akif – Online Submission, 2017
This study aims to investigate the effect of relative age effect on the development of fundamental movement skills in boys and girls. Data were collected from primary school first grade 22 boys and 33 girls students aged 5-6 years. Three age groups have been formed as 68-76, 77-80 and 81-89 months for boys, 71-75, 76-80 and 81-84 months for girls,…

Bradford, Brent; Kell, Shannon; Forsberg, Nick – Strategies: A Journal for Physical and Sport Educators, 2016
The development of fundamental movement skills is essential in quality physical education. It has become widely accepted that school-age children who fail to reach the automatic phase in fundamental movement-skill development may choose physically inactive and unhealthy lifestyles. Therefore, physical educators must continue to discover ways to…

Johnstone, Avril; Hughes, Adrienne R.; Reilly, John J. – Scottish Educational Review, 2019
It is widely accepted that children in Scotland, as in other high-income countries, are not engaging in sufficient moderate-to-vigorous intensity physical activity (MVPA), the consequences of which can be adverse for health and wellbeing. In this paper, it is contended that active play (a form of gross motor or total body movement in which…

Maïano, Christophe; Hue, Olivier; April, Johanne – Journal of Applied Research in Intellectual Disabilities, 2019
Background: This systematic review is a synthesis of studies concerning: (a) mastery, deficits, and/or delays in fundamental movement skills (FMS) among children and adolescents with intellectual disabilities; (b) comparisons of FMS between children and adolescents with intellectual disabilities and those with typical development (TD); and (c)…

Gavigan, Nathan; Belton, Sarahjane; Whyte, Enda; O'Connor, Siobhan; Morley, David; Issartel, Johann – European Physical Education Review, 2022
Assessing children's movement competence (MC) offers numerous benefits for academics, practitioners, clinicians and children, allowing individuals to meet children's developmental needs and improve their MC. Yet, there is concern that currently available assessment tools only provide a single plane (fundamental movement skills) perspective of a…

Van Rossum, Tom; Foweather, Lawrence; Hayes, Spencer; Richardson, David; Morley, David – Measurement in Physical Education and Exercise Science, 2021
The aim of this study was to establish the content of a teacher-oriented movement assessment tool (MAT) for children aged 4-7 years. A three-round Delphi poll with an international panel of forty-six academics and practitioners was conducted. Consensus was reached on a selection and number of fundamental movement skills to be assessed with four…

Stevenson, A.; Wainwright, N.; Williams, A. – Education 3-13, 2023
Competency in fundamental movement skills (FMS) lays the foundation for developing more complex motor skills and supporting a physically active future. Preschool-aged children are at a crucial window of development, so intervening with motor skill programmes increases the likelihood of future physical activity (PA) participation. Parents/carers…

Lander, Natalie J.; Hanna, Lisa; Brown, Helen; Telford, Amanda; Morgan, Philip J.; Salmon, Jo; Barnett, Lisa M. – Journal of Teaching in Physical Education, 2017
Purpose: Competence in fundamental movement skills (FMSs) is positively associated with physical activity, fitness, and healthy weight status. However, adolescent girls exhibit very low levels of fundamental movement skill (FMS) proficiency. Method: In the current study, interviews were carried out with physical education teachers to investigate…

Capio, Catherine M.; Eguia, Kathlynne F. – SAGE Open, 2021
Children with intellectual disability (ID) tend to have difficulty with mastering fundamental movement skills, associated with cognitive deficits that impair skill acquisition. In this case study, motor learning evidence was transformed into an object control skills training program for children with ID in a school context. An implementation…

Bremer, Emily; Lloyd, Meghann – Autism: The International Journal of Research and Practice, 2021
This study examined whether adaptive behaviour, emotional and behavioural challenges, and social skills, respectively, moderated the effect of a movement skill intervention on movement skills among preschool aged children with autism spectrum disorder. Twenty-seven participants with autism spectrum disorder (N = 13 experimental) between 3 and 5…

Rudd, J. R.; Barnett, L. M.; Farrow, D.; Berry, J.; Borkoles, E.; Polman, Remco – Measurement in Physical Education and Exercise Science, 2017
This study evaluated the effectiveness of an 8-week gymnastics curriculum on children's movement competence and their physical self-concept. There were 113 children (46% girls, 49% intervention) with a mean age of 9.4 years (SD = 1.8) that participated. Intervention children underwent 8 weeks of gymnastics and the comparison group continued with…

Melvin Chung, HL; Cheah, WL; Hazmi, Helmy – International Journal of Early Childhood, 2023
Fundamental movement skills (FMS)-oriented school-based intervention allows children to be more competent and interested to participate in a wider range of physical activities. This study aimed to determine the physical activity and fundamental motor skills outcome from a school-based intervention programme among rural pre-schoolers in Kuching. It…

Warner, Marika; Robinson, Jackie; Heal, Bryan; Lloyd, Jennifer; Mandigo, James; Lennox, Bess; Davenport Huyer, Larkin – Prospects: Quarterly Review of Comparative Education, 2021
Regular physical activity significantly improves health outcomes, yet rates of childhood physical activity remain alarmingly low. Physical literacy has been identified as the foundation for quality physical education, suggesting that sport, education, and public health interventions should seek to increase physical literacy to promote physical…
