“…By highlighting the associations between MC and the intercept and development of MVPA and CRF, this study supports the conceptual model of Stodden et al (5). To enhance physical activity and CRF in adolescents, an individual’s level of MC should not be ignored as it also impacts perceptions of competence and the motivation to be physically active, both additional critical determinants of physical activity behaviors (49). Therefore, promoting physical activity in adolescents may require a more individualized approach focusing on their established competencies (or lack thereof), and motivational (autonomy) and social (relational) factors (50).…”

Introduction Physical activity levels have decreased over past decades with most adolescents neither meeting the current physical activity recommendations nor demonstrating adequate cardiorespiratory fitness (CRF). Motor competence (MC) is foundational for a physically active lifestyle; however, children demonstrate significant differences in their levels of MC in a broad foundation of movement skills. This study investigated developmental patterns of physical activity and CRF in children across 4 yr based on their longitudinal MC profiles. Methods The data included annual measurements of MC, accelerometry-measured moderate-to-vigorous physical activity (MVPA), and CRF over 4 yr from the age 11 to 15 (n = 1147, girls 582, boys 565). Latent profile analysis was used to identify longitudinal MC profiles and latent growth curve modeling to examine intercepts and slopes (s) of MVPA and CRF in these MC profiles. Results Three different longitudinal MC profiles were identified: low, moderate, and high. The MC profiles showed significant differences in intercepts of CRF and MVPA. The high MC profile showed the highest intercepts for both, but also a statistically significant decline in MVPA over time (s = −3.36, P < 0.001). Cardiorespiratory fitness increased similarly in all three profiles over time: low (s = 1.20, P < 0.01), moderate (s = 1.28, P < 0.001), high (s = 2.21, P < 0.001). Conclusions These results highlight the long-term associations between different MC profiles and development of MVPA and CRF. Adolescents with lower MC demonstrated lower levels of MVPA and CRF, indicating decreased participation in physical activities that can optimally enhance CRF. However, significant differences in MVPA levels between MC profiles faded over time in adolescence, whereas significant differences in CRF remained.

“…The most significant elements of motivational climate positively influencing sport of physical leisure time participation involve the social unit family, school teachers (particularly PE teachers), and using strategies in PE classes, which may consist of tasks or ego-orientation and mates [ 44 , 45 , 46 ]. The degree of motivation was found to be associated with perceived motor competencies or with the amount of physical activity [ 47 ]. Both items 11.…”

Factor Validity and Generic Reliability of the Developmental Coordination Disorder Questionnaire in the Czech Population

2023

The Developmental Coordination Disorder Questionnaire (DCDQ) is widely used as a brief parent questionnaire designed to screen for motor coordination in children, aged 5 to 15 years. There is no validated version of the DCDQ for the Central Europe, which could help for first catch of children with motor difficulties, whose amount has been seriously raised. In addition, the World Health Organization recommends the cross-cultural validation of existing instruments, for Loir costs and time consuming, and the availability of instruments in several languages enables therapists to use validated tools with non-English speaking clients. The aim of this study was to validate the DCDQ in the Czech culture in a population of Czech parents whose children were aged six to ten. Using data from 651 Czech parents of children (six to ten years; 7.8 ± 0.8 years), confirmatory factor analyses (CFA) were used. The goodness-of-fit indices CFI = 0.94, TLI = 0.93, and RMSEA = 0.08 supported the original three-factor model of the DCDQ. In addition, the factor loadings of each question discovered in Czech DCDQ were non-significantly different from the original DCDQ. Furthermore, we also found strong between factor correlation; general coordination and control movement r = 0.87 probably measure the same underlying construct. Even though this is in conformity with original DCDQ structure, we suggest that responses in these two DCDQ factors might have violated the local independency and, therefore, could bias the final score. The generic reliability of the individual factors was acceptable and ranged from McDonald ω 0.83–0.88. Results from this study suggest that cross-validated version of the original DCDQ can be considered as sufficiently valid and reliable clinical screening tool for children who have coordination challenges for Czech children aged six to ten.

“…The connection between one’s perceived motor competence and engagement in physical activity appears to be influenced by intrinsic motivation, as indicated by the findings of Menescardi et al (2022) . This suggests that individuals who feel more competent are likely to enjoy and participate in physical activities to a greater extent.…”

“…Although both actual and perceived motor competence seem to play a crucial role in the development of a healthy and active lifestyle among individuals ( Babic et al, 2014 ; Timo et al, 2016 ; Barnett et al, 2022 ), it is still unclear how these mechanisms become manifest in different subgroups (e.g., age). In particular, there is limited knowledge about perceived motor competence in adolescents per se ( Lander et al, 2019 ; De Meester et al, 2020 ), and how it potentially affects physical activity engagement, and motivation for, or enjoyment of, sport and physical activities ( Dreiskämper et al, 2022 ; Menescardi et al, 2022 , 2023 ).…”

The objective of this study was to examine the psychometric properties of the Adolescent Motor Competence Questionnaire (AMCQ) for Norwegian adolescents. To this end, a sample of 349 Norwegian-speaking adolescents (13–16 years old) were recruited and completed the AMCQ. Initial results showed that confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) did not indicate statistical support for previous statistical models reported in the literature. Further analysis indicated factorial validity for a novel three-factor model identified through exploratory factor analysis, encompassing measures of fine motor skill (α = 0.65), gross motor skill (α = 0.74), and activities of daily living (ADL; α = 0.79) with acceptable internal consistency coefficients. Subsequent analysis indicated indices of measurement invariance in the study sample, as males rated their competence higher compared to females in 19 of the 27 items, and better model fit was obtained for the female adolescents. Strong invariance was tenable, and no factor mean differences were found across older and younger adolescents or across BMI scores. Overall results thus suggested that the AMCQ has acceptable psychometric properties and can be confidently used in further work with perceived motor competence in Norwegian 13–16 years-old adolescents.
