Purpose: Our objective is to describe the moderating effect of the level of gross motor development on the relationship between physical activity (PA) level and visual perception/memory in girls. Methods: This is a quantitative cross-sectional study with a randomized sample of 85 girls (mean age 7.11±0.74) from Chile. The following models were…

Biino, Valentina; Tinagli, Valeria; Borioni, Federica; Pesce, Caterina – Physical Education and Sport Pedagogy, 2023
Background: The relation between physical activity (PA), motor skills and cognitive function in children is receiving considerable attention. To transition scientific evidence into pedagogical practice, however, we need to further our understanding of which qualitative PA characteristics are best suited to stimulate motor skills and executive…

Sachet, Alison B.; Frey, Scott H.; Jacobs, Stéphane; Taylor, Marjorie – Journal of Cognition and Development, 2016
The development of the correspondence between real and imagined motor actions was investigated in 2 experiments. Experiment 1 evaluated whether children imagine body position judgments of fine motor actions in the same way as they perform them. Thirty-two 8-year-old children completed a task in which an object was presented in different…

Connell, Gill; McCarthy, Cheryl – Free Spirit Publishing, 2014
Grounded in best practices and current research, this hands-on resource connects the dots that link brain activity, motor and sensory development, movement, and early learning. The expert authors unveil the Kinetic Scale: a visual map of the active learning needs of infants, toddlers, preschoolers, and primary graders that fits each child's…

Maskell, Bronwen; Shapiro, Deborah R.; Ridley, Christopher – Physical Educator, 2004
The purpose was to examine the effect of Brain Gym on learning the overhand throw among 42 first grade students. Participants from two intact classes were randomly assigned to an experimental or control condition. Students were tested before and after a 5-week intervention using the object control subtest from the Test of Gross Motor Development-2…

Morris, Arlene M., Ed. – 1981
Eight papers present information about children's motor development and its application for program design. Jerry R. Thomas, Kathi T. Thomas, and Jere D. Gallagher discuss "Children's Processing of Information in Physical Activity and Sport." In "Toward Inclusion," G. S. Don Morris considers characteristics of children and of motor tasks with…

In this teaching guide, movement education is presented as a means for developing the inherent ties between mind and body and for increasing ties between the two. While it is designed for elementary and secondary physical education teachers, it may be used as a text at the college level. Examples of specific lessons, many of which require no…
