Fundamental motor skills: A systematic review of terminology

Journal of Sports Sciences, 2017
The three aims of this systematic review are to describe: (1) use of the term fundamental motor/movement skills (FMS) in published articles; (2) the quality of definitions; and (3) relative use of process- and product- oriented assessments to measure FMS.

Influence of a Motor Skill Intervention on Fundamental Motor Skill Development of Disadvantaged Preschool Children

Research Quarterly for Exercise and Sport, 2003
The influence of a 12-week (24, 45-min motor sessions) motor skill intervention on fundamental motor skill (FMS) development of disadvantaged preschools was examined. Pre-and postintervention measures of the object control (OC) and locomotor subscales of the Test of Gross Motor Development were obtained for both groups.

Motor Skill Interventions to Improve Fundamental Movement Skills of Preschoolers With Developmental Delay

Adapted Physical Activity Quarterly, 2011
Preschoolers with developmental delay (DD) are at risk for poor fundamental movement skills (FMS), but a paucity of early FMS interventions exist. The purpose of this review was to critically appraise the existing interventions to establish direction for future trials targeting preschoolers with DD.

Interrater Objectivity for Field-Based Fundamental Motor Skill Assessment

Research Quarterly for Exercise and Sport, 2009
In the past 10 years, a growing body of evidence has linked fundamental motor skills (FMS) proficiency to physical activity participation. With FMS proficiency becoming more significant for understanding factors that may influence young people's physical activity, instruments and testing methods used in such research must be valid and reliable.

CONTEXTUAL INTERFERENCE EFFECTS ON THE ACQUISITION AND RETENTION OF FUNDAMENTAL MOTOR SKILLS

Perceptual and Motor Skills, 1999
This study was designed to examine the effect of three practice models (repetitions, random, and combined) on the acquisition and retention of fundamental motor skills. 54 girls in Grade 4 were randomly assigned to the three different practice groups who practiced three skills of ball rolling, racket striking, and ball kicking.
