“…Research on FMS development and performance in developing children is scarce and rather dispersed and there is a shortage of updated information on movement skill development and performance especially in European children [40]. There are very few longitudinal studies in the area of childhood FMS, weight status and physical activity [41,42] and longitudinal and long-term intervention studies from early childhood years would also better clarify the influence of FMS development on weight status. This kind of knowledge would help health care personnel and kindergarten and school physical education teachers to prevent development of overweight, and when needed, tailor intervention for individual needs.…”

Fundamental movement skills (FMS) are suggested to have an important role for being physically active and decreasing the risk of obesity. This systematic review aimed to give an overview of studies providing evidence for a relationship between FMS and the weight status in children. Material/MethodsA systematic search of five electronic databases (MEDLINE (PubMed), SportDiscus, ERIC, PsycInfo and SCOPUS) was conducted in January 2015. Studies examining associations between FMS and weight status in children aged 3-12 years were included. ResultsThe final sample included 12 cross-sectional studies. Seven studies found statistically significant inverse association between FMS and body mass index (BMI). Three studies used waist circumference (WC), and significant inverse associations were found in two of these. Dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA) was used in one study and significant association was found between FMS and abdominal and total body fat percentage. One study, using skinfolds, found no association. ConclusionsBased on the findings of the 12 studies, the relationship between FMS and weight status in children aged 3-12 years remains unclear. Developing competency in FMS may have important health consequences, and more studies are needed in which body composition is objectively measured with DXA. Among children and adolescents, obesity has substantially increased worldwide. A recent systematic review indicated that between 1980 and 2013, the prevalence of overweight or obese children and adolescents (ages 2-19 years) increased by nearly 50%. In 2013, approximately 23% of girls and 24% of boys living in developed countries and 13% of girls and 8% of boys in developing countries were found to be overweight or obese [1]. Obesity is associated with multiple physical and psychological health problems already in childhood as well as with co-morbidities later in life [2]. Because of the established health risks and substantial increases in prevalence, obesity has become a major global health challenge [1].The observed increase in the prevalence of childhood overweight and obesity is a likely consequence of a change in physical activity (PA) and nutrition patterns over time [3]. Adequate PA, together with healthy weight, is a protective factor against many health problems. PA has beneficial effects on adiposity, musculoskeletal health and fitness, and several components of cardiovascular health in children and adolescents [4]. Moreover, data from observational studies indicate dose-response relationships -the more PA, the greater the health benefits, and result...

Purpose. While the usefulness of gross motor coordination score as predictor of sports performance in young athletes has been demonstrated, practical applications in the settings where the focus is not on elite performance is limited. Further, little is known about the extent to which gross motor coordination score is associated with sport-specific skills among adolescent nonathletes. The aim of this study was to analyse the relationship between the degree of gross motor coordination and execution in specific volleyball tests among adolescent non-athletes. Methods. The total of 34 students (27 females and 7 males) aged 13-14 years who regularly participated in volleyball during physical education classes were randomly recruited. Gross motor coordination was assessed with the Körperkoordinationstest für Kinder. Motor performance on volley-specific skills was indicated by two product-oriented tasks: volleyball under service and service reception. correlation and linear regression analyses were applied to examine the associations between motor coordination scores and motor performance in volley-specific skills. Results. Motor coordination score was positively correlated with motor performance on specific skills (r = 0.503, p = 0.02). Linear regression analysis revealed that motor coordination score accounted for 23% of the variance in the motor performance on volleyball skills (R 2 = 0.253, R 2 adjusted = 0.230, F = 10.836, p = 0.02). Conclusions. The degree of gross motor coordination seems to play a significant role in the execution of specific volleyball tasks.

“…Os resultados corroboram a observação de desempenho motor em habilidades básicas superior por parte de crianças envolvidas com prática esportiva sistematizada ou prática adicional além das aulas de educação física escolar conforme foi constatado em estudos anteriores 15,17,[19][20][21][22][23] . No presente estudo foi observado desempenho motor das habilidades básicas de locomoção e controle de objetos inferior de crianças que não tinham nenhum envolvimento com prática esportiva orientada além das aulas de educação física.…”

“…Diferente da prática esportiva espontânea, comum entre crianças brasileiras, a prática esportiva orientada é geralmente conduzida por profissional de Educação Física, que deveria proporcionar um conjunto de tarefas motoras relacionadas à modalidade esportiva, porém adequadas ao nível de desenvolvimento da criança 15,20,21 . Em geral, a participação em prática esportiva sistematizada e estruturada tem se mostrado como um contexto adequado para aquisição de habilidades motoras básicas [17][18][19]22,23 . Embora as atividades orientadas devessem ser estruturadas para garantir que o desenvolvimento motor seja alcançado, considerando as necessidades e competências motoras de cada criança 16 , a oferta dessas atividades nem sempre atinge a maioria da população 24 .…”

RESUMOO presente estudo teve por objetivo analisar o desempenho motor em habilidades básicas de crianças participantes e não participantes de prática esportiva orientada. A amostra foi constituída por 40 crianças de ambos os sexos com idade entre 8 e 10 anos, estudantes de uma escola privada de Belo Horizonte. Os grupos foram divididos em crianças participantes de alguma prática esportiva orientada adicional (PEA) e crianças que não participavam de nenhuma prática esportiva orientada além de aulas de educação física (GC). O desempenho em habilidades básicas foi avaliado por meio do Test of Gross Motor Development (TGMD-2). As medidas usadas foram o quociente motor amplo, escore bruto das habilidades locomotoras e manipulativas e análise qualitativa. Uma anamnese foi aplicada junto aos pais contendo perguntas sobre a rotina das crianças, tipos de lugares que costumavam frequentar no tempo livre; tempo aproximado que faziam uso de brincadeiras, tempo aproximado que costumavam fazer uso de aparelhos e jogos eletrônicos em dias úteis, classe socioeconômica da família e se participavam ou não de alguma prática esportiva orientada. Observou-se superioridade do grupo PEA sobre o grupo GC em todas as medidas do TGMD-2. O conjunto dos resultados permite concluir que o envolvimento de crianças com prática esportiva orientada pode contribuir com o processo de desenvolvimento motor.Palavras-chave: Esporte. Desenvolvimento Motor. Prática ABSTRACTThe present study had as an aim to analyze the motor performance in basic skills of children participants and nonparticipants of oriented sport practice. The sample was consisted of 40 children of both sexes aged between 8 and 10 years, students of a private school of Belo Horizonte. The groups were set into children that participated in some additional oriented sport practice (PEA) and children who did not participate in any oriented practice of sport beyond physical education classes (GC). Performance in basic skills was assessed by the Test of Gross Motor Development (TGMD-2). The used measures were gross motor quotient, raw score of locomotor and object control subtests, and descriptive ratings. An anamnesis was applied to parents with questions about routines of the children, kinds of places they used to stay in free time; time of play; time using electronic games; family socioeconomic level; and if the child participated or not of some oriented sport practice. It was observed superiority of PEA group upon GC in all TGMD-2 measures In general, results show that the involvement of children with oriented sport practice can contribute to the motor development process. Keywords: Sport. Motor Development. Practice. IntroduçãoO desenvolvimento motor é compreendido como mudanças no comportamento motor ao longo do ciclo da vida e dos processos subjacentes que baseiam estas mudanças 1 . Tais mudanças são contínuas e proporcionadas pela interação das restrições sobre o organismo, o ambiente e a tarefa 2,3 .
