• Construct validity of the pictorial scale of Perceived Movement Skill Competence (2016, background): “A wider range of movement skill competence would potentially enhance the likelihood of children being physically active throughout life (Robinson et al., 2015; Stodden et al., 2008).”
• Motor Competence and its Effect on Positive Developmental Trajectories of Health (2015, background): “Additional longitudinal research (including evidence from intervention studies) should take into account any additional variables (including but not limited to diet, genetics, growth, and maturation) that may influence the inverse associations between MC and weight status throughout childhood, adole”
• The development of fundamental motor skills of four‐ to five‐year‐old preschool children and the effects of a preschool physical education curriculum (2011, background): “Preschool years (ages three to six years) are critical in terms of developing fundamental motor skills (FMS), which are prerequisites to a physically active lifestyle in later life (Gallahue & Ozmun, 2006; Stodden et al., 2008).”
• Fundamental Movement Skills in Children and Adolescents (2010, background): “Recently, FMS competency has been proposed to interact with perceptions of motor competence and healthrelated fitness to predict physical activity and subsequent obesity from childhood to adulthood.([3]) While children may naturally develop a rudimentary form of fundamental movement pattern, a matur”
• Preschool children's fundamental motor skills: a review of significant determinants (2014, background): “This finding lends support to the role that motor skill competence plays in physical activity proposed by Stodden et al. (2008), who have suggested that physical activity might drive young children’s motor skill development and that during early childhood the connection between these two is still…”
• Fundamental motor skills: A systematic review of terminology (2018, background): “FMS are important for engagement in lifelong physical activity (Robinson et al., 2015; Stodden et al., 2008).”
• The Youth Physical Development Model: A New Approach to Long-Term Athletic Development (2012, background): “FUNDAMENTAL MOVEMENT SKILLS AND SPORT-SPECIFIC SKILLS The topic of FMS development has received considerable interest owing to the close association between FMS competency, health and wellbeing, physical activity, and to a lesser degree physical performance (29,38,66,82,83,103).”
• What Is Physical Literacy, Really? (2015, background): “The basic motor skill development models (Gallahue, 1982; Haubenstricker & Seefeldt, 1986) including Haubenstricker and Seefeldt’s (1986) hypothesis of a proficiency barrier have been referenced above, as has Stodden’s model in which motor competence, perceived motor competence, and health related f”
• Correlates of Gross Motor Competence in Children and Adolescents: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis (2016, background): “Whilst it is acknowledged that the association between gross motor competence and factors such as PA are likely to be reciprocal [12, 33], focusing on motor competence as the outcome (or dependent) variable will enable an examination of those factors that are potentially modifiable correlates of mot”
