RESUMOO Objetivo deste estudo foi investigar as relações entre a competência motora percebida geral (CMPG), a competência motora específica à tarefa (CMPET), a competência motora real (CMR), e o gênero de crianças. Participaram do estudo 75 crianças, de ambos os gêneros, com nove e dez anos de idades. A CMPG foi avaliada pela "Self-Perception Profile for Children". Uma escala desenvolvida pelos autores e preliminarmente validada foi utilizada para avaliação da CMPET. A CMR foi avaliada pelo Test of Gross Motor Development -2. Os resultados indicam que independentemente do gênero, a maioria das crianças, percebeu-se moderadamente competente e reportou realizar as habilidades motoras com pouca ou sem dificuldade. As correlações foram fracas e não significativas entre a CMPG, a CMPET e a CMR na maioria das habilidades. Conclui-se que: não houve relação entre a maneira pela qual a criança avalia e a sua própria competência motora na maioria das habilidades em ambos os gêneros. Possivelmente crianças se utilizam de outros parâmetros, sem considerar a própria proficiência em habilidades motoras fundamentais para julgar suas competências. Palavras-chave: Percepção. Habilidades motoras. Crianças. ABSTRACTThe aim was to investigate the relationship among the general perceived motor competence (GPMC), the perceived competence relative to tasks (PCRT), the actual motor competence (AMC), and the gender in children. Seventy-five children, boys nd girls, aged between 9 and 10 years, participated in the study. The GPMC was assessed using the Self-Perception Profile for Children. We used a scale developed by the authors for this study, preliminarily validated, to assess the PMCRM. The AMC was assessed by the Test of Gross Motor Development -2. The results showed children perceived themselves as moderately competent and reported their own motor competence relative to motor skill as "little or no difficulty". The correlations were weak and not significant between GPMC, PCRT and AMC for the majority of the skills. In conclusion, there was not relationship between the ways in which the children evaluate their own motor competence in the majority of the skills, for boys and girls. Children most likely use other parameters, without considering their own proficiency in fundamental motor skills to assess their competencies. KeyWords: Children. Perceived competence.

“…[2][3][4] Well-developed motor skills are possible determinants of fitness and PA in adolescents and young adults. 5,6 In children, a new model suggest a reciprocal and developmentally dynamic relationship between motor skill competence and PA mediated by factors such as physical fitness and obesity. 7 As PA is a potentially modifiable lifestyle behavior, it is of interest to known the nature of the relationship of PA with motor skills, aerobic fitness and body fat.…”

Background: Adiposity, low aerobic fitness and low levels of activity are all associated with clustered cardiovascular disease risk in children and their high prevalence represents a major public health concern. Objective: The aim of this study is to investigate the relationship of objectively measured physical activity (PA) with motor skills (agility and balance), aerobic fitness and %body fat in young children. Design: This study is a cross-sectional and longitudinal analyses using mixed linear models. Longitudinal data were adjusted for baseline outcome parameters. Subjects: In all, 217 healthy preschool children (age 4-6 years, 48% boys) participated in this study. Measurements: PA (accelerometers), agility (obstacle course), dynamic balance (balance beam), aerobic fitness (20-m shuttle run) and %body fat (bioelectric impedance) at baseline and 9 months later. Results: PA was positively associated with both motor skills and aerobic fitness at baseline as well as with their longitudinal changes. Specifically, only vigorous, but not total or moderate PA, was related to changes in aerobic fitness. Higher PA was associated with less %body fat at baseline, but not with its change. Conversely, baseline motor skills, aerobic fitness or %body fat were not related to changes in PA. Conclusion: In young children, baseline PA was associated with improvements in motor skills and in aerobic fitness, an important determinant of cardiovascular risk.

“…As a precursor for the ability to participate in sports and games, an individual's Fundamental Motor Skills (FMS) competence may be considered a cornerstone for the development of a healthy and active lifestyle and long-term fitness (Barnett, van Beurden, Morgan, Brooks, & Beard, 2008, 2009). These FMS are considered to be the building blocks for complex motor skills, and proficiency in FMS also contributes to successful and satisfying participation in sports and other physical activities.…”

AbstractThis study evaluated the effect of a 10-week fundamental motor skill programme in preschoolers with motor problems. Alongside the general effect of the intervention, we also explored possible gender differences and the role of the environmental context (living community, socio-economic status, and recreational space inside/outside the house). The intervention group (n = 47; 20 and 27 ) received twenty 60-min motor skill sessions (2 per week) in addition to the regular physical education curriculum for pre-schoolers; the control group (n = 46; 21 and 25 ) did not receive additional practice. General motor competence, and locomotor and object control subscales, were assessed before and after the intervention using the Test of Gross Motor Development 2 nd edition (TGMD-2). Data regarding environmental factors were gathered through a questionnaire. A Group x Gender x Time ANOVA revealed that the intervention group benefited significantly from the intervention and scored better than the control group at the post-test for general motor competence and both sub-categories (locomotor and object control skill). Moreover, the intervention programme was found to be effective in helping 49% of the intervention group to achieve an average motor skill level, according to the TGMD-2 norms, while a further decline in motor competence was observed in the control group. Interestingly, the effect appeared to be gender-specific, since object control skill improved only in girls of the intervention group.Considering the environmental context, none of the above-mentioned factors was found to have an influence on the effectiveness of the intervention. The present study highlights the need for an early motor skill programme with a gender-specific approach in order to help low skilled boys and girls master a diverse set of motor s...

Does Childhood Motor Skill Proficiency Predict Adolescent Fitness?

Abstract: Children with good object control skills are more likely to become fit adolescents. Fundamental motor skill development in childhood may be an important component of interventions aiming to promote long-term fitness.
