Investigating the construct of motor competence in middle childhood using the BOT‐2 Short Form : an item response theory perspective [PDF]
, 2019 Purpose: Motor assessments generally produce a single motor competence score based on the general motor ability hypothesis, which states that motor competence is a one-dimensional trait underlying a wide range of motor skills.

PLoS ONE, 2019 BACKGROUND AND AIMS:A relationship exists between an adolescent's level of motor competence and the health of their identity. As those with low motor competence (LMC) form less healthy identities, the aim of this study was to investigate if self ...

Competing Neural Ensembles in Motor Cortex Gate Goal-Directed Motor Output [PDF]
Neuron, 2015 Unit recordings in behaving animals have revealed the transformation of sensory to motor representations in cortical neurons. However, we still lack basic insights into the mechanisms by which neurons interact to generate such transformations. Here, we study cortical circuits related to behavioral control in mice engaged in a sensory detection task. We

Sports, 2017 Assessing children’s perceptions of their movement abilities (i.e., perceived competence) is traditionally done using picture scales—Pictorial Scale of Perceived Competence and Acceptance for Young Children or Pictorial Scale of Perceived Movement Skill ...

Sequencing effects of object control and locomotor skill during Integrated Neuromuscular Training in 6-7 year old children [PDF]
, 2019 This study examined whether scheduling of object control (e.g., throwing, catching) and locomotor skills (e.g., running, jumping), within an integrated neuromuscular training (INT) program, results in different responses in motor competence, muscular ...

Sports, 2020 Actual motor competence (MC), perceived motor competence (PMC), and health-related fitness (HRF) exhibit a dynamic and reciprocal relationship in child populations, but little is known about the nature of these relationships in young adulthood. The purpose of the study was to assess these relationships in a sample of college-aged males.

Convergent and divergent validity between the KTK and MOT 4-6 motor tests in early childhood [PDF]
, 2015 The aim of this study was to investigate the convergent and divergent validity between the Body Coordination Test for Children (KTK) and the Motor Proficiency Test for 4- to 6-Year-Old Children (MOT 4-6). A total of 638 children (5-6 yr old) took part in

HeliyonBackground: An essential component of childhood development is increasing motor competence. Poor motor learning is often thought to underlie impaired motor competence, but this link is unclear in previous studies.
