Pacewicz, Christine E.; Pfeiffer, Karin A.; Nuttall, Amy K.; Branta, Crystal F.; Haubenstricker, John L.; Seefeldt, Vern – Measurement in Physical Education and Exercise Science, 2021
Excess adipose tissue may impact the motor performance of youth. Therefore, the current study examined: (1) if adiposity influenced performance in the jump and reach and 30-yard dash; and (2) if maturation predicted motor performance. Participants (N = 267) included girls aged 8 to 16 years. Latent growth curves were used to assess changes in…

Scott-Andrews, Katherine Q.; Hasson, Rebecca E.; Miller, Alison L.; Templin, Thomas J.; Robinson, Leah E. – Journal of Motor Learning and Development, 2022
This study examines the associations of physical activity and gross motor skills in parent-child dyads. Parent-child dyads (N = 61, 84% mothers, children aged 8-11 years) participated in this study. Anthropometrics were self-reported through Qualtrics. Physical activity was assessed using accelerometers. Motor skills were measured through four…

Jamie Heng-Chieh Wu; Hope O. Akaeze; Laurie A. Van Egeren – Dimensions of Early Childhood, 2024
The need for valid and reliable ways to assess developmental outcomes of preschool children becomes continually more acute as public investments in preschool education grow, with corresponding pressure for programs to demonstrate their ability to influence child outcomes. The authors conducted studies of one assessment widely used in Head Start…

Pacewicz, Christine E.; Myers, Nicholas D. – Measurement in Physical Education and Exercise Science, 2021
Longitudinal measurement enables the examination of behavioral or psychological change. One approach to examining longitudinal measurements is the use of latent growth curve modeling (LGCM). This approach affords the assessment of inter- and intraindividual change. Yet, this approach likely is underused in exercise science. The purpose of the…

Seefeldt, Vern; Haubenstricker, John; Branta, Crystal F.; Pfeiffer, Karin A. – Measurement in Physical Education and Exercise Science, 2021
The Michigan State University (MSU) Motor Performance Study (MPS) was initiated in 1967 and was known across the United States for its unique blend of teaching, service, and research. Dr. Vern Seefeldt began the study as a means to begin research with children on-campus. The instructional portion of the program ended in 1999; data collection…

McMahon, John; Emerson, Robert S. Wall; Ponchillia, Paul; Curtis, Amy – Journal of Visual Impairment & Blindness, 2019
Introduction: Youths with visual impairments (i.e., those who are blind or have low vision) often demonstrate reduced involvement in sports and related negative effects. This study looked at data from sports education camps to see whether involvement in this short-term intervention positively affected the performance of component sports skills…

Martin, Eric M.; True, Larissa; Pfeiffer, Karin A.; Siegel, Shannon R.; Branta, Crystal F.; Wisner, Dave; Haubenstricker, John; Seefeldt, Vern – Measurement in Physical Education and Exercise Science, 2021
Research tracking sport participation from youth to adulthood is relatively rare, as is research that tracks youth sport participation with regard to adult physical activity (PA) levels, especially in the United States. Aims of this study were: 1) To investigate the degree to which sport participation tracked across youth, adolescence, and early…

Kallay, Jeffrey E.; Dilley, Laura; Redford, Melissa A. – Journal of Speech, Language, and Hearing Research, 2022
Purpose: This study used a cross-sequential design to identify developmental changes in narrative speech rhythm and intonation. The aim was to provide a robust, clinically relevant characterization of normative changes in speech prosody across the early school-age years. Method: Structured spontaneous narratives were elicited annually from 60…

Pfeiffer, Karin A.; True, Larissa; Martin, Eric; Siegel, Shannon R.; Branta, Crystal F.; Haubenstricker, John; Seefeldt, Vern – Measurement in Physical Education and Exercise Science, 2021
The Michigan State University Motor Performance Study (MPS) was initiated in 1967 and lasted 32 years. Three central components existed: 1) Educational component, in which students experienced applied work with youth; 2) Instructional component, whereby enrolled youth received sport-specific skill instruction; and 3) Research component. The…

McMahon, John; Emerson, Robert S. Wall; Ponchillia, Paul; Curtis, Amy – Journal of Visual Impairment & Blindness, 2019
Introduction: This study explored the relationship between first-time or repeat participation at a sports education camp and demographic variables of gender, age, race or ethnicity, measures of self-perception, body mass index (BMI), and physical activity in participants' communities. Methods: The study was a secondary data analysis of interview…

Ketcheson, Leah; Hauck, Janet Lynn; Ulrich, Dale – Autism: The International Journal of Research and Practice, 2018
Autism spectrum disorder is the fastest growing developmental disability in the United States. As such, there is an unprecedented need for research examining factors contributing to the health disparities in this population. This research suggests a relationship between the levels of physical activity and health outcomes. In fact, excessive…

Jimenez, Bree Ann; Stanger, Carol – Physical Disabilities: Education and Related Services, 2017
A survey was conducted with 86 teachers across 10 states regarding their students' ease of use of physical manipulatives incorporated with implementing evidence-based early numeracy instruction. The majority of respondents indicated significant student accessibility barriers. Specifically, 75% of respondents had students with tactile defensiveness…

DeFauw, Danielle L. – Early Child Development and Care, 2016
This article details a qualitative case study of 24 preschool children engaged with step-by-step drawing instruction provided by five educators as they developed their fine motor skills and drew detailed objects using the Drawing Children Into Reading curriculum (Halperin, W. A. (2011a). "Project 50 preschool manual." South Haven, MI:…

Ketcheson, Leah; Hauck, Janet; Ulrich, Dale – Autism: The International Journal of Research and Practice, 2017
Despite evidence suggesting one of the earliest indicators of an eventual autism spectrum disorder diagnoses is an early motor delay, there remain very few interventions targeting motor behavior as the primary outcome for young children with autism spectrum disorder. The aim of this pilot study was to measure the efficacy of an intensive motor…

Elmer, Steven J.; Carter, Kathryn R.; Armga, Austin J.; Carter, Jason R. – Advances in Physiology Education, 2016
In physiological education, blended course formats (integration of face-to-face and online instruction) can facilitate increased student learning, performance, and satisfaction in classroom settings. There is limited evidence on the effectiveness of using blending course formats in laboratory settings. We evaluated the impact of blended learning…
