Crozier, Mitchell; Wasenius, Niko S.; Denize, Kathryn M.; da Silva, Danilo F.; Nagpal, Taniya S.; Adamo, Kristi B. – Health Education & Behavior, 2022
Background: Physical literacy-focused afterschool activity programs (ASAPs) can be an effective strategy to improve children's health-related parameters. We sought to compare physical activity, body composition, aerobic capacity, and fundamental movement skills between physical literacy-focused ASAP and a standard recreational ASAP. Method: A…

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…

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…

Maria Kasanen; Arto Laukkanen; Donna Niemistö; Jimi Kotkajuuri; Nanne-Mari Luukkainen; Arja Sääkslahti – Journal of Motor Learning and Development, 2023
This study was conducted to determine how total fundamental movement skill (FMS) score and, separately, locomotor skill (LMS), and object control skill scores in children 3-8 years old predicted their specific-intensity physical activity 3 years later. Overall, 441 Finnish children (51.7% female, baseline mean age of 5.6 years) participated in the…

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)…

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…

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…

Kelly, Lisa; O'Connor, Siobhán; Harrison, Andrew J.; Ní Chéilleachair, Niamh J. – Physical Education and Sport Pedagogy, 2021
Background: Irish school children have demonstrated poor proficiency in fundamental movement skills (FMS) and consistent with international literature, females and overweight children tend to be less skilled than males and non-overweight children. Interventions that are suitable for children of all abilities and which provide long-term…

Capio, C. M.; Mak, T. C. T.; Tse, M. A.; Masters, R. S. W. – Journal of Intellectual Disability Research, 2018
Background: Conclusive evidence supports the importance of fundamental movement skills (FMS) proficiency in promoting physical activity and countering obesity. In children with Down Syndrome (DS), FMS development is delayed, which has been suggested to be associated with balance deficits. This study therefore examined the relationship between FMS…

Hyokju Maeng; Deborah R. Shapiro; Elizabeth Kipling Webster; Hyunjin Kwon – Journal of Motor Learning and Development, 2023
Rater training is necessary to accurately evaluate fundamental motor skills among children with developmental disabilities (DD). The purpose of this pilot study was to examine the impact of an online rater training program for novice raters on scoring accuracy of the run and two-hand strike skills on the Test of Gross Motor Development-Third…
