“…It has been reported however that children and adolescents are falling below the expected FMS proficiency levels for their age group (Hardy, Barnett, Espinel, & Okely, 2013;Mitchell et al, 2013;O' Brien, Belton, & Issartel, 2015) which may affect their sports specific skill development and as a result, their PA participation (Gallahue et al, 2012;Robinson, Logan, Webster, Getchell, & Pfeiffer, 2015).…”

Objectives: To explore the relationship between fundamental movement skill (FMS) competence, perceived FMS competence and physical activity (PA) in adolescents. Methods:The Test of Gross Motor Development (TGMD), the TGMD-2 and the Victorian Skills manual were used to assess FMS competence (locomotor, object control and stability).The Physical Self Confidence scale was used to assess perceived FMS competence (locomotor, object control and stability). Moderate to vigorous intensity PA (MVPA) was measured via accelerometry. Multi-level modelling analyses was used to examine: (i) actual FMS as the predictor and perceived FMS as the outcome, (ii) perceived FMS as the predictor and MVPA as the outcome, and (iii) actual FMS as the predictor and MVPA as the outcome. All analyses were completed for each subtest of FMS (locomotor, object control and stability).Results: A total of 584 adolescents (boys n = 278) aged 12.82 -15.25 years (M 13.78, SD .42) participated in this study. Actual stability was associated with perceived stability (p<.01) and MVPA (p<.05) in boys. This was not found true for girls, however actual locomotor skills were associated with MVPA (p≤.05). Boys scored significantly higher than girls for FMS proficiency, perceived FMS and MVPA (p<.05).Discussion: Gender differences may exist due to cultural gender differences in sport participation norms. Considering the magnitude of physical and psychological changes occurring during adolescence, it is recommended to track young people over time to better understand the relationship between perceived and actual FMS, as well as PA participation.

“…More recently, a systematic review summarising the effectiveness of school-based interventions in promoting youth PA and fitness, found that the evidence continues to advocate for the on-going implementation of school-based PA interventions for youth [24]. The Y-PATH programme is fundamentally guided by research informed findings [8,38]. As previously reported in O' Brien et al [39], there are four essential intervention components within the existing Y-PATH evidence-based study:…”

“…Since the inception of this evidence-based study, the Y-PATH programme has progressed from the theory/modelling phase one [8,38], to the exploratory trial phase two [39] and is currently, undergoing the definitive randomised-controlled trial of phase three. The four stages, as outlined in the MRC document, for 'Developing and Evaluating Complex Interventions' are: 1) Development, 2) Feasibility, 3) Evaluation, and 4) Implementation.…”

“…As has been shown for PA, available data on motor competence in youth indicate a decline [50,51] resulting in low motor competence in children and adolescents [52,53]. The limited success of current PA and weight loss interventions has, at least in part, been attributed to the lack of attention towards the development of motor competence, particularly in children with excess body weight [54].…”
