“…In a reverse pathway, children with motor difficulties usually find simple motor tasks challenging, thus decreasing their PF development and associated GMC (Rivilis et al, 2011;Stodden et al, 2008). In general, individuals with low motor competence exhibit inferior overall PF levels than peers with higher motor competence (Cantell et al, 2008).…”

“…There is a renewed research interest concerning the motor coordination of school-aged children (Largo, Fischer, & Rousson, 2003;Rivilis et al, 2011) given its potential influence on a variety of outcomes. For example, children with poor motor coordination have been shown to have significant impairments in their daily tasks, from self-care and school-based…”

“…The remaining variance in coordination difficulty was largely due to non-shared environmental influences, and future research focused on identifying these environmental factors may inform targeted clinical and resilience interventions. These factors might include reduced physical activity, as reported in both adults (Hill and Brown, 2013) and children with DCD (Rivilis et al, 2011), unemployment in adults (Kirby et al, 2013 and pre-and perinatal complications (Pearsall-Jones et al, 2008;Pearsall-Jones et al, 2009). The impact of environmental influences on coordination may also happen via epigenetic mechanisms, which involve changes in gene expression that play a role in a range of neurological disorders (Jakovcevski and Akbarian, 2012;Urdinguio et al, 2009) and these processes should be explored in future studies.…”

Increased anxiety and depression symptoms have been reported in individuals with neurodevelopmental disorders, and have been found to be associated with motor coordination difficulties, but little is known about the etiology of these associations. This study aimed to assess genetic, shared (making twins/siblings alike) and non-shared (individual-specific) environmental influences on the association between poor coordination and symptoms of anxiety and depressed mood using a sample of adult twin and sibling pairs. Participants were asked about their coordination skill and anxiety and depression symptoms. About half of the variance in coordination difficulty was explained by familial (combined genetic and shared environmental) influences, with the remaining variance explained by non-shared environmental influences. Phenotypic associations between coordination and anxiety (r=.46) and depression symptoms (r=.44) were largely underpinned by shared familial liability for the three traits. Non-shared environment accounted for about a third of the phenotypic association. Results suggest that both familial and non-shared environmental influences play a role in the etiology of coordination difficulty and its association with internalizing symptoms. The current study highlights that both biological and environmental pathways shared between these symptoms should be examined in future research to inform prevention and treatment approaches in clinical settings

“…Levels of PA and PF, as well as, children's motor abilities are characteristics which are strongly connected [16] [17]. Especially PA participation in childhood and youth is positively related to children's fundamental motor skill competence [8] [16] [18] [19] and on the other hand, well-pronounced motor abilities are essential for PF [17].…”

Purpose: Motor abilities of migrant children show worse performance compared with children without migration background. This study investigated whether a one-year intervention, which aimed to increase physical activity (PA), could influence the motor performance of these children positively. Methods: A sub-sample of 525 migrant children (7.1 ± 0.7 years; 48.6% male), participated in the study and included an intervention (IG) and control group (CG). The Dordel-Koch-Test was used to assess motor performance. An exploratory factor analysis was performed. Differences between IG and CG were examined using ANCOVA. Results: Boys in the IG showed a significant improvement in the conditional skills (F(1, 201) = 8.02, p ≤ 0.005) and girls showed a tendency towards better results. Additionally, girls showed a significant improvement in flexibility (F(1, 226) = 10.72, p ≤ 0.01) compared with the CG. Conclusion: The intervention affects parts of motor skills of migrant children significantly. Future interventions should aim at a target-group-specific promotion to get a holistic improvement in their motor abilities.
