Weight Status and Gross Motor Skill in Kindergarten Children
Pediatric Physical Therapy, 2012Childhood obesity rates are increasing globally. Physical activity is one behavioral variable that influences weight status. Participation in physical activity requires basic gross motor proficiency in early childhood. The purpose of this study was to examine the relationship between gross motor skill level and weight status in a large national ...

Oropharyngeal Dysphagia and Gross Motor Skills in Children With Cerebral Palsy
PEDIATRICS, 2013To determine the prevalence of oropharyngeal dysphagia (OPD) and its subtypes (oral phase, pharyngeal phase, saliva control), and their relationship to gross motor functional skills in preschool children with cerebral palsy (CP). It was hypothesized that OPD would be present across all gross motor severity levels, and children with more severe gross ...

Relation of Motor Fitness Test Items to Gross Motor Skills
Perceptual and Motor Skills, 1978To develop an instrument to screen firefighter applicants, 2 samples totaling 225 young men were tested for 10 motor fitness and task-related items. Body fat and other anthropometric data were estimated. Principal components factor analysis indicated three primary factors for both samples: I = Motor Fitness; II = Size/Strength; III = Physical Maturity.

Generality and Specificity in the Learning of Fine and Gross Motor Skills
Research Quarterly. American Association for Health, Physical Education and Recreation, 1967Abstract This study was designed to determine the degree of generality and specificity in the learning of four motor skills. Forty junior high school students practiced mirror tracing, a pencil maze, disc tossing, and a hopscotch-type skill. Each of the skills was practiced for a five-day period.

Studies of Transfer of Learning in Gross Motor Skills
Research Quarterly. American Association for Health, Physical Education and Recreation, 1957Abstract Ninety men taking college physical education classes learned six paired gross motor skills with order and method of teaching as variables. Observations seem to warrant the following general conclusions: (1) Skills and activities which involve similar elements and patterns should not be learned at the same time; (2) The method of deliberate ...

Control of Muscular Tension in Learning a Novel Gross Motor Skill
Perceptual and Motor Skills, 197115 college women were taught how to relax and how to produce, on command, given percentages of maximum tension through EMG. A comparison was made with 15 control Ss of the ability to learn a novel gross motor skill. Significant differences were found, indicating that learned control of general muscular tension facilitates learning.
