“…These research findings are in accordance with studies reporting reduced aerobic and anaerobic endurance, muscular strength and endurance (Faught, Hay, Cairney, & Flouris, 2005;Schott, Alof, Hultsch, & Meermann, 2007) and poorer levels of speed and agility (Haga, 2008a) in children with low level of motor coordination compared with their peers with normal motor coordination.…”

“…Recent research has demonstrated that, for Canadian children, DCD is associated with reduced levels of physical activity, which may contribute to clinical obesity ( CL OB) and low cardiorespiratory fitness ( L CF) [2]. Relative to children from other Western countries, such as Canada, Greek children lead a more inactive lifestyle [3,4], exhibiting risk for CL OB and L CF [5].…”

“…In this investigation, activity levels were evaluated using the Participation Questionnaire (PQ). [14][15][16][17][18] This is a valid and reliable instrument for use in this population and includes a section devoted to organized sports. Information was collected on children's participation in sport teams, clubs, school sports, and sports and dance lessons over one year.…”

Lifestyle choices from childhood, such as being physically active, track into adulthood. A key factor that influences a child's likelihood of being healthy is their level of social competence. Social Competence (SC) is the interaction between the environment and biologically determined abilities and is shaped by social support systems. An underdeveloped SC increases a child's risk of unhealthy lifestyles as an adult as they believe themselves incapable of adjusting their habits. Children with biologically determined inabilities, such as motor impairments, have been demonstrated to have an activity deficit, particularly in sport participation. The relationships between social competence, motor performance, and physical activity are largely unexplored. The purpose of this paper is to examine the role that SC plays as a mediator between Motor Performance (MP) and organized sports participation in preadolescent children. This sample is 1958 sixth grade children (50.2% males) taken from the Physical Health Activity Study Team (PHAST) study in Ontario, Canada. Organized sport participation was determined using the Participation Questionnaire, MP was established using the short form of the Bruininks-Oseretsky Test of Motor Proficiency (BOTMP) and SC was determined through Harter's Self-Perception Scale. The results indicated that MP and SC are independent predictors of sport participation. Children with low MP and low SC were at significantly greater risk of low sport participation (OR males =2.82; OR females =2.41). Children with low MP and high SC (OR males =1.04; OR females =1.41) or high MP and low SC (OR males =1.12; OR females =0.98) revealed no increased risk of low sport participation. SC plays an important role in organized sport participation during childhood and ameliorates the risk of inactivity associated with lower MP. With high SC diminishing the risk of low sport participation from low MP, a child's risk of low physical fitness may be subsequently reduced and therefore may be an important consideration for activity promotions.
