“…Although the previous version of the ZNA was used in clinical populations such as children born preterm, children with congenital heart disease or children with DCD, 3,14,26 the ZNA-2 has not yet been applied in these populations, although it offers appropriate psychometric properties as a motor test. We hope that others will examine test validity for the identification of children with motor problems in the future.…”

“…The ZNA is a standardized procedure for assessing the speed of several motor tasks (timed performance) and the quality of movements [14,28,29,30]. For the ZNA3-5, which has been developed for 3- to 5-year-old children, we used essentially the same items as in the ZNA5-18 but adapted them for younger children (e.g., fewer repetitions).…”

Objective: Being overweight makes physical movement more difficult. Our aim was to investigate the association between body composition and motor performance in preschool children. Methods: A total of 476 predominantly normal-weight preschool children (age 3.9 ± 0.7 years; m/f: 251/225; BMI 16.0 ± 1.4 kg/m²) participated in the Swiss Preschoolers' Health Study (SPLASHY). Body composition assessments included skinfold thickness, waist circumference (WC), and BMI. The Zurich Neuromotor Assessment (ZNA) was used to assess gross and fine motor tasks. Results: After adjustment for age, sex, socioeconomic status, sociocultural characteristics, and physical activity (assessed with accelerometers), skinfold thickness and WC were both inversely correlated with jumping sideward (gross motor task β-coefficient -1.92, p = 0.027; and -3.34, p = 0.014, respectively), while BMI was positively correlated with running performance (gross motor task β-coefficient 9.12, p = 0.001). No significant associations were found between body composition measures and fine motor tasks. Conclusion: The inverse associations between skinfold thickness or WC and jumping sideward indicates that children with high fat mass may be less proficient in certain gross motor tasks. The positive association between BMI and running suggests that BMI might be an indicator of fat-free (i.e., muscle) mass in predominately normal-weight preschool children.

“…O escore Z foi utilizado pelo fato de que cada bateria motora adota uma escala própria. Assim, optou-se por transformar os escores finais brutos em escores Z para obter escalas de medidas em níveis idênticos, com a finalidade de possibilitar a comparação universal das medidas oriundas dos três instrumentos (11) . E por fim, a correlação de Pearson para correlacionar os escores gerais das baterias motoras.…”

Contato para correspondência: Pâmella de Medeiros Abstract Introduction:Motor assessment is an important tool to verify motor development parameters, which is achieved through motor performance, considering the current level of the individual motor performance and the ability to perform motor tasks. For that, some motor batteries have been developed for the purpose of evaluation, but based on different constructs and target populations. Objective: Assess the level of congruence between the Motor Development Scale, Movement Assessment Battery for Children Second Edition and Test of Gross Motor Development Second Edition in order to examine whether there are differences between genders and if children´s performances can be compared. Patients and Methods: The study included 172 children aged between nine and 10 years, 67 boys (X=9, 51; SD=0.40 years) and 105 girls (X=9, 44; SD=0.48 years). Results: It was found that boys had a better overall performance on motor tasks when compared to girls. With the analysis of the Z score, we met homogeneity in the distribution of test scores, so the children showed the same level of performance in all batteries. Regarding the level of congruence between the three batteries, it was established that the overall score of Movement Assessment Battery for Children Second Edition was positively correlated with the total score of the Motor Development Scale (r=0.30; p<0.001) and the Test of Gross Motor Development Second Edition (r=0.22, p=0.001). Among the total scores of the Motor Development Scale and Test of Gross Motor Development Second Edition, there was no significant correlation. Conclusion: This preliminary study demonstrates that using distinctive motor dimensions or motor tasks with different natures and measures, the Movement Assessment Battery for Children Second Edition can be used, if necessary, as an alternative to the batteries' Movement Assessment Battery for Children Second Edition and Motor Development Scale.
