“…Children with DCD are less likely to participate in physical activities, [6][7] in part because these children perceive themselves to be less competent than their peers. [8][9] Yet, DCD is rarely, if ever, considered a significant risk factor for childhood obesity, despite the fact it affects a significant number of children.…”

Developmental coordination disorder and overweight and obesity in children aged 9–14 y

Developmental coordination disorder (DCD) is a significant problem that affects between 5 and 9% of all children. Since children with DCD are less likely than their non-DCD peers to participate in physical activities, they may be at greater risk for overweight and obesity. In this report, we examine the relationship between DCD and overweight and obesity in a sample of 578 children aged 9-14 y. We also examine whether the relationship between DCD and overweight/obesity is the same for boys and girls, taking into account sex and age-appropriate differences in percentage body fat and body mass index (BMI) criteria. Our results show that for boys, DCD may be a risk factor for overweight/obesity in childhood and early adolescence. For girls, there is no difference in the prevalence of overweight/obesity between children with and without the disorder.

“…Clearly, then, it is imperative to monitor skill competence from early childhood onwards, in particular to identify potential delays in motor development or motor deficits. Early and targeted remediation of any motor problem is required to reduce the negative impact on engagement in PA in later life, and also to avoid secondary psycho-social consequences [e.g., distorted selfconcept (Majnemer, 1998) and increased anxiety (Schoemaker & Kalverboer, 1994)] or medical conditions [e.g., diabetes (Hannon, Rao, & Arslanian, 2005) and cardiovascular problems (Kavey et al, 2003)]. …”

AbstractThis study evaluated the effect of a 10-week fundamental motor skill programme in preschoolers with motor problems. Alongside the general effect of the intervention, we also explored possible gender differences and the role of the environmental context (living community, socio-economic status, and recreational space inside/outside the house). The intervention group (n = 47; 20 and 27 ) received twenty 60-min motor skill sessions (2 per week) in addition to the regular physical education curriculum for pre-schoolers; the control group (n = 46; 21 and 25 ) did not receive additional practice. General motor competence, and locomotor and object control subscales, were assessed before and after the intervention using the Test of Gross Motor Development 2 nd edition (TGMD-2). Data regarding environmental factors were gathered through a questionnaire. A Group x Gender x Time ANOVA revealed that the intervention group benefited significantly from the intervention and scored better than the control group at the post-test for general motor competence and both sub-categories (locomotor and object control skill). Moreover, the intervention programme was found to be effective in helping 49% of the intervention group to achieve an average motor skill level, according to the TGMD-2 norms, while a further decline in motor competence was observed in the control group. Interestingly, the effect appeared to be gender-specific, since object control skill improved only in girls of the intervention group.Considering the environmental context, none of the above-mentioned factors was found to have an influence on the effectiveness of the intervention. The present study highlights the need for an early motor skill programme with a gender-specific approach in order to help low skilled boys and girls master a diverse set of motor s...

“…The relation between DCD and the different aspects of internalizing and externalizing problems has been studied extensively in the literature. The most significant findings are that DCD is related with higher levels of anxiety (e.g., Pratt & Hill, 2011), depression (e.g., Piek, Bradbury, Elsley, & Tate, 2008) and introversion (e.g., Schoemaker & Kalverboer, 1994) as well as ADHD (e.g., Rasmussen & Gillberg, 2000) and the expression of deviant behaviors (e.g., Kanioglou, Tsorbatzoudis, & Barkoukis, 2005).…”
