The educational benefits claimed for physical education and school sport: an academic review (2009, background): “In addition, studies investigating the relationship between basic movements and physical activity participation have found that the total time young children are involved in moderate to vigorous physical activity appears to influence positively movement skill development (Fisher et al. 2005).”
A Developmental Perspective on the Role of Motor Skill Competence in Physical Activity: An Emergent Relationship (2008, background): “Increased physical activity provides more opportunities to promote neuromotor development, which in turn promotes FMS development (Fisher et al., 2005; Okely, Booth, & Patterson, 2001a, 2001b).”
Motor Skill Performance and Physical Activity in Preschool Children (2008, methodology): “reported a low but positive correlation between total gross motor skill scores and level of participation in PA in 4-year-olds (17).”
Fundamental Movement Skills in Children and Adolescents (2010, background): “A number of large-scale cross-sectional studies,([25,30]) some of which used objective measures of physical activity,([30,36]) found positive associations between FMS competency and participation in physical activity.”
Systematic review of the relationships between physical activity and health indicators in the early years (0-4 years) (2017, methodology): “Specifically, this was supported in 13 studies by dose-response evidence or an exposure/outcome gradient for cross-sectional studies, primarily through continuous data [44, 49, 55, 57, 58, 67, 88, 89, 100, 104, 119, 123, 129].”
Preschool children's fundamental motor skills: a review of significant determinants (2014, background): “, 2010), Movement Assessment Battery (Fisher et al., 2005; Reilly et al., 2006), Divergent Movement Ability Test (Trevlas et al.”
Childhood motor skill proficiency as a predictor of adolescent physical activity. (2009, background): “In cross-sectional research ‘‘motor proficiency’’ has been positively associated with sport participation [7] and total [8,9], moderate-to-vigorous [9], skill-specific [10], and organized physical activity [11] in children and adolescents.”
