Fundamental movement skills in children and adolescents with intellectual disabilities: A systematic review

Abstract

Background This systematic review is a synthesis of studies concerning: (a) mastery, deficits, and/or delays in fundamental movement skills (FMS) among children and adolescents with intellectual disabilities; (b) comparisons of FMS between children and adolescents with intellectual disabilities and those with typical development (TD); and (c) correlates of FMS. Method A systematic electronic search was performed in 12 databases. Seventeen studies, published between 1951 and 2017, met the inclusion criteria. Results Children with intellectual disabilities exhibited a lack of mastery and deficits/developmental delays in FMS. They tended to have significantly lower FMS performance than children with TD. Adolescents with intellectual disabilities had developmental delays in balance skills, but were not compared with adolescents with TD. Mastery or deficits in FMS were not explored. Several variables were significantly correlated with FMS among children and adolescents with intellectual disabilities. Conclusion In future studies, FMS should be examined as an important outcome among children and adolescents with intellectual disabilities.

Motor competence assessments for children with intellectual disabilities and/or autism: a systematic review

“… 52 Furthermore, some of the available evidence used measures of only one dimension of FMS (typically locomotor or object-control), providing a narrow picture of gross motor competence, while the reliability of the assessments was unclear. 47 To overcome these methodological weaknesses in the literature, more clarity is needed regarding the measurement properties of gross motor competence assessment tools in children with ID and/or ASC.…”

Fundamental Motor Skill Delays in Preschool Children With Disabilities: 2012 National Youth Fitness Survey

“…The only demographic factor that reached statistical significance in any model was sex, with females having 0.30 times the odds of males to exhibit “poor” GMQ scores. Males, both with and without disabilities, are typically found to be more advanced than females in FMS competency, particularly in object control skills ( 16 , 52 , 53 ). This relationship is likely due to boys receiving more encouragement toward object control and ball skills compared to girls, while biological factors are unlikely to be a factor in prepubescent children ( 52 , 53 ).…”

“…Individuals with disabilities experience delays and deficits in FMS competency during early childhood, with significantly lower FMS competency reported in children with a range of disabilities (15)(16)(17)(18). Concurrently, children with disabilities also engage in lower rates of physical activity (19)(20)(21), participate in fewer leisure and recreational activities (22)(23)(24), exhibit poor healthrelated physical fitness (25)(26)(27), and have higher proportions of children with overweight and obese weight status (28)(29)(30).…”

“…A habilidade fundamental de movimento (Fundamental Movements Skill -FMS) é termo usual para se associar parâmetros a serem relacionados nas diferentes áreas de atuação do indivíduo como, por exemplo, atividades físicas ou entretenimento (Maïano, Hue, & April, 2019), (Logan,Ross, Chee, Stodden, & Robinson, 2018). Partindo desse conceito, surgem terminologias associadas aos processos avaliativos, representação e conhecimento nas diferentes áreas de exploração do corpo humano e suas interações como na psicologia, fisiologia e outras (Logan et al, 2018).…”
