“…However, this review only included one study of perceived competence in children, with the remainder in adolescents, and found that the strongest association was in early adolescence, not later adolescence. Sex was not found to be a moderator in the Babic et al [38] review, although studies in children have found the relationship between perceived competence and PA did differ according to sex. For example, in older Portuguese boys (aged 8-10 years) an association existed between perceived competence and self-reported PA, but not for girls [60].…”

“…In contrast, a study in young Brazilian children found no relationship [63]. It is difficult to truly ascertain strengths of association between perceived competence and actual competence as assessments of perceived competence do not closely align with assessments of MC in terms of particular skill domains [64] or even general measures of self-concept [38]. For instance, surveys assessing physical self-perceptions tend to include broader questions relating to general competency in the physical domain [65,66] as opposed to assessments of actual MC that might be targeted to particular competence sub-domains such as object control and locomotor competence [67].…”

“…Recent systematic reviews [30,[36][37][38][39] relating to individual model pathways and key cross-sectional, longitudinal, and experimental data are highlighted in subsequent sections to provide a global picture of data relating to the model hypotheses. In addition, we cite emerging evidence demonstrating that these factors are critical for promoting positive trajectories of growth, development, and health across childhood and for an individual's health and quality of life.…”

“…A recent systematic review by Babic et al [38] noted that perceived competence had the strongest relationship to PA compared with other aspects of self-concept. This review also found that age moderated the relationship.…”

Motor Competence and its Effect on Positive Developmental Trajectories of Health

et al. 2015

In 2008, Stodden and colleagues took a unique developmental approach toward addressing the potential role of motor competence in promoting positive or negative trajectories of physical activity, health-related fitness, and weight status. The conceptual model proposed synergistic relationships among physical activity, motor competence, perceived motor competence, health-related physical fitness, and obesity with associations hypothesized to strengthen over time. At the time the model was proposed, limited evidence was available to support or refute the model hypotheses. Over the past 6 years, the number of investigations exploring these relationships has increased significantly. Thus, it is an appropriate time to examine published data that directly or indirectly relate to specific pathways noted in the conceptual model. Evidence indicates that motor competence is positively associated with perceived competence and multiple aspects of health (i.e., physical activity, cardiorespiratory fitness, muscular strength, muscular endurance, and a healthy weight status). However, questions related to the increased strength of associations across time and antecedent/consequent mechanisms remain. An individual's physical and psychological development is a complex and multifaceted process that synergistically evolves across time. Understanding the most salient factors that influence health and well-being and how relationships among these factors change across time is a critical need for future research in this area. This knowledge could aid in addressing the declining levels of physical activity and fitness along with the increasing rates of obesity across childhood and adolescence.

“…Our finding that girls exercise little, and report more psychosomatic symptoms, may be interpreted with reference to previous research that has found that adolescents girls' elevated psychosomatic symptoms can be explained by a combination of lifestyle choices such as smoking and lack of regular physical exercise, BMI, and cognitive factors such as body image and self-esteem (Sweeting et al 2007). Further, physical exercise may moderate the association between body image, or self-esteem and psychosomatic symptoms as adolescents who exercise regularly are more content with their bodies and report more self-esteem (Liu et al 2015;Babic et al 2014). In other words, physical exercise may have direct and indirect effects on psychosomatic symptoms for girls.…”

Aim The aim was to investigate the association between psychosomatic problems and lifestyle patterns of alcohol use and physical exercise in adolescence. Subject and Methods Cross-sectional questionnaire data from 8 years of investigations were used. The sample included over 20,000 adolescents (50 % girls), aged 15-16. Adolescents were divided into three groups depending on psychosomatic problem load: 10th, 11th-89th and 90th percentiles on the psychosomatic problems scale (PSP). A composite measure of alcohol use (frequent/rarely/never) and physical exercise (regular/little/never) was created, resulting in nine combinations of health-related behaviours, and used as dependent variable. Results Multinomial regression analysis showed that those over the 90th percentile of the PSP had nearly 12 times higher odds of regular alcohol use combined with no exercise compared with those who had the least symptoms. The former subgroup also had higher odds of belonging to all suboptimal lifestyle categories. Those in the 11th-89th percentiles had increased, albeit smaller, odds of belonging to all lifestyle categories. Descriptive data analysis indicated gender differences and changes over time in the strength of the association between psychosomatic problems and health-related behaviours but the regression analysis did not show any statistically significant interactions. The proportion of adolescents engaging in the unhealthiest lifestyle had decreased over time while reports of psychosomatic problems had increased.Conclusion Adolescents with the greatest psychosomatic symptom load were the most likely to engage in unhealthy lifestyles. This may mean multiplied risks of future psychopathology and warrants longitudinal investigations.
