Margaux Hebinck; Mariève Labbé; Marie-Denise Lavoie; Krista L. Best; Maxime T. Robert – Journal of Motor Learning and Development, 2025
Introduction: Fundamental movement skills (FMS) are categorized into three groups (stability, locomotion, and object control) and are crucial for enabling the practice of physical activity in children with physical disabilities. Their development is influenced by the specific nature of each child's disability. FMS can be evaluated by process-…

Lianne van Setten; Marleen H. M. de Moor; Mirjam Oosterman; Carlo Schuengel; Annick Ledebt – Journal of Motor Learning and Development, 2025
Although studies have reported links between parental physical activity and their children's motor and physical activity behaviors, understanding of this link remains incomplete and evidence inconclusive. This study explored whether children's motor coordination, fitness, and sports participation are related not only to mothers' sports…

Anne R. den Uil; Vincent Busch; Mirka Janssen; Ron H.J. Scholte – Journal of Motor Learning and Development, 2025
The goal of this study was to expand knowledge on the longitudinal relationships between motor skill competence, physical activity, perceived motor competence, health-related fitness, and weight status and its age dependency in children between 6 and 11 years old. Participants were Dutch primary school children (N = 1,268 children, 49.4% boys and…

Ine H. van Liempd; Ora Oudgenoeg-Paz; Paul P. M. Leseman – Child Development, 2025
Object exploration is considered a driver of motor, cognitive, and social development. However, little is known about how early childhood education and care settings facilitate object exploration. This study examined if children's exploration of objects during free play was facilitated by the use of particular spatial components (floor, tables,…

Schoenmaker, Jorine; Houdijk, Han; Steenbergen, Bert; Reinders-Messelink, Heleen A.; Schoemaker, Marina M. – Journal of Motor Learning and Development, 2023
Effectiveness of motor interventions depends not only on learning content but also on the used teaching strategies. However, little is known regarding the application of teaching strategies in clinical practice. This study aimed to develop and assess psychometric properties of a new Dutch observational instrument to document teaching strategies:…
