Investigating the Age-Related Association between Perceived Motor Competence and Actual Motor Competence in Adolescence [PDF]
International Journal of Environmental Research and Public Health, 2020 Irish adolescents have been found to possess high perceptions of motor competence. However, there is an evidential value to investigating the strength of the relationship between adolescent perceptions of motor competence and their low levels of actual motor competence. The purpose of this research was to gather data on the fundamental, functional, and
