“…Previous studies have not examined child gender differences in a parent's use of screen time as a functional tool for controlling active behaviors (Barroso et al, 2020;Thompson et al, 2018), but our results suggest that promotion of screen time may serve different functions or have a different strength of associations for boys and girls. A second potential explanation for our finding is that PA videos have been shown to improve preschool-aged children's locomotor development (Bulca et al, 2020), it is possible that children exposed to more screen time may have had greater exposure to characters who model PA, leading those children toward better locomotor skill development. Another possible explanation for this finding is that our use of the PACER as a quantitative measure of locomotor skills may have contributed to data misinterpretation.…”

“…At the interpersonal level, a parent's education, belief in the importance of PA, behavior (in the form of their own PA) and provision of PA resources are all associated with higher gross motor scores in preschool-aged children (Cools et al, 2011). In addition, environmental factors, including the number of home PA resources, access to a structured PA program (e.g., swimming), and engagement with PA videos have also been related to better locomotor skills (Barnett et al, 2013;Bulca et al, 2020). However, interactions between individual-level factors (e.g., sex) and interpersonal/home environment factors have not been studied (Barroso et al, 2020;Thompson et al, 2018).…”

Exploring Correlates of Preschool-Aged Children’s Locomotor Skills: Individual and Parent Demographics and Home Environment

We examined individual and parental demographics and home environment factors associated with locomotor skills in predominantly Hispanic preschool-aged children. We used questionnaires to survey parents, included inquiries regarding parenting practices, parents’ physical activity levels, and home-based physical activity resources; and we administered the Progressive Aerobic Cardiovascular Endurance Run (PACER) and the CHAMPS Motor Skills Protocol (CMSP) to children to measure the quantity and quality of their locomotor skills. Participants were 144 parents and their children (78.9% Hispanic, 49.3% girls) recruited from urban, community-based childcare and education centers. We examined the relationship between survey measures and PACER and CMSP scores with forward-selection stepwise linear regression models. Overall, 142 children completed the PACER, and 91 completed the CMSP. At the individual level, a child’s age was positively associated with both PACER and CMSP scores, and girls had lower PACER scores than boys. In the home environment, parental promotion of more screen time was associated with a higher children’s PACER score. In addition, higher parent concern for children’s safety was associated with a lower PACER score. We identified several physical activity promoting parent practices as new home environment factors related to the preschool-aged children’s locomotor development. Additional studies are needed to test new hypotheses generated from these data. ClinicalTrials.gov Identifier: NCT03261492 (date of registration 8/25/17)

“…General classroom teachers could use these videos, of the research team partaking in different activities, in any classroom setting to provide support and encourage students to participate in motor skill related activities and improve their skills. This video modelling concept has previously demonstrated success in boosting AMC with younger children (Bulca et al., 2020).…”

High levels of perceived motor competence and low levels of actual motor competence in youth populations have been reported world-wide. Both perceived and actual motor competence have been deemed independent correlates of health and physical activity (PA) behavior, and past research has indicated that their alignment may be linked to more consistent PA. Moreover, there is potential for a movement-based intervention to strengthen the alignment between perceived and actual motor competence, perhaps then guiding future health, PA, and community sport engagement globally. Thus, the objective of this study was to investigate the effectiveness of an 8-week movement-based intervention on increasing the alignment (i.e., veridicality) between PMC and AMC among Irish adolescent youth. We collected data on adolescents ( n = 324; females = 149; M age = 14.5, SD = 0.88 years) across six second-level schools in Ireland, including measurements of actual and perceived, motor competence at pre- and post-intervention. We observed low levels of actual in contrast to high levels of perceived motor competence. We found a small but significant veridical alignment between perceived and actual motor competence, but there was no intervention effect on alignment. Future research should prioritize a longer intervention duration that targets student learning and understanding in order to develop veridical perceptions in adolescents that might sustain their participation in PA.

“…Students in the Elementary Teacher Education Program at the University of Mataram were surveyed online, and they assessed their own locomotor skills and their nonlocomotor mobility very poorly [11]. On the one hand, [12] experimental study assessed the impact of digital physical activity films on the development of locomotor skills in preschoolers. A total of 906 kids, 442 in the intervention group and 464 in the control group, were studied.…”

Requiring college students to engage in basic resistance training, locomotor, and non-locomotor exercises has shown mixed results in decreasing and improving BMI. This study aimed to assess the effectiveness of an online activity-specific skills program on college students’ BMI. An experimental research design was employed, with students participating in activity-specific exercises for eight consecutive weeks. Demographic factors, including gender, pre- and post-test BMI, and the Physical Activity Readiness Questionnaire, were considered. An Independent Sample T-Test was used to determine significant differences in post-test scores based on gender, while a Paired Samples T-Test was used to analyze differences between pre- and post-test scores. The results indicated no significant difference in the pre-test scores. Moreover, after the eight-week activity-specific skills program, there was no significant difference observed between the pre- and post-test scores. The movement patterns taught in PE 1, encompassing locomotor, non-locomotor, and basic resistance training, did not impact students’ body mass indexes. These findings may prompt educators to reassess the effectiveness of current physical education methods or to explore alternative approaches that might be more successful in reducing students’ BMI. As the results are inconclusive, further research with a larger sample size is needed to validate the assertions made in this study.
