Exploring the relationships between fundamental movement skills and health related fitness components in children

Stephen Behan et al.

Summary: This study examined the relationship between fundamental movement skills (FMS) and health related fitness (HRF) components in children. The results showed significant positive relationships between FMS and muscular strength, muscular endurance, flexibility, and cardiovascular endurance, and an inverse relationship between FMS and body composition. The study highlighted the importance of developing fundamental movement skills during childhood for the development of health related fitness throughout childhood and adolescence.

Through the Looking Glass: A Systematic Review of Longitudinal Evidence, Providing New Insight for Motor Competence and Health

Lisa M. Barnett et al.

Summary: This systematic review compiled evidence on the role of motor competence in children's physical activity, weight status, perceived motor competence, and health-related fitness. Strong evidence was found for negative association between motor competence and weight status, as well as positive pathway from motor competence to fitness. However, evidence for other pathways varied, including indeterminate and insufficient evidence for some associations. Future research should focus on robust longitudinal studies and experimental designs to further test the proposed conceptual model.

Exploring the Importance of Motor Competence for Behavioral and Health Outcomes in Youth

Daniel das Virgens Chagas et al.

Summary: This study found a bidirectional relationship between motor competence (MC) and physical activity (PA), as well as between MC and body composition, which can reciprocally influence each other across adolescence. The development of MC is recommended as a crucial strategy to increase PA engagement and prevent obesity in youth.

How Important Is Motor Competence for Healthy Weight Status across Adolescence?

Daniel das Virgens Chagas et al.

Summary: The study found a negative correlation between motor competence and body fat levels during adolescence, with motor competence being able to predict body fat levels. Therefore, promoting the development of motor competence during early adolescence is recommended to prevent obesity.

Health-Related Criterion-Referenced Cut-Points for Musculoskeletal Fitness Among Youth: A Systematic Review

Brooklyn J. Fraser et al.

Summary: This study aimed to identify health-related criterion-referenced cut-points for musculoskeletal fitness among youth. The results showed that muscular strength demonstrated high discriminatory ability for cardiometabolic risk, sarcopenic obesity risk, and bone health. Additionally, muscular power also exhibited high discriminatory ability for bone health.
