Childhood motor skill proficiency as a predictor of adolescent physical activity. (2009, background): “Wrotinak and colleagues [9] found that motor skill proficiency accounted for 8.”
Motor Competence and its Effect on Positive Developmental Trajectories of Health (2015, background): “At the time the model was published, limited evidence was cited to support this [58, 59].”
Fundamental Movement Skills in Children and Adolescents (2010, background): “For example, Wrotniak and colleagues([45]) examined the relationship between motor competency and physical activity using the Bruininks-Oseretsky Test of Motor Proficiency (BOTMP) and found a positive association.”
A Developmental Perspective on the Role of Motor Skill Competence in Physical Activity: An Emergent Relationship (2008, background): “These skills require the manipulation of one’s entire body mass against gravity with an increased demand for higher strength and power outputs (Enoka, 2002; Fleisig, Barrentine, Zheng, Escamilla, & Andrews, 1999; Wrotniak et al., 2006).”
