Hulteen, Ryan M.; True, Larissa; Kroc, Edward – Measurement in Physical Education and Exercise Science, 2023
The typical process for assessing inter-rater reliability is facilitated by training raters within a research team. Lacking is an understanding if inter-rater reliability scores "between" research teams demonstrate adequate reliability. This study examined inter-rater reliability between 16 researchers who assessed fundamental motor…

Francisco Carvalho; Marcos Onofre; João Mota; Miguel Peralta; Adilson Marques; Ana Quitério; António Rodrigues; Pedro Alves; Wesley O'Brien; João Martins – Journal of Motor Learning and Development, 2024
Children's motor competence (MC) levels tend to be low, and the investigation of variables that facilitate skillfulness is an important concern. The socioecological model is a useful framework to explore factors that influence MC and to inform the development of targeted interventions. This cross-sectional study aimed to perform an exploratory…

Lopes, Vitor P.; Rodrigues, Luis P. – Journal of Motor Learning and Development, 2021
Understanding the mechanisms associated with engaging in physical activity (PA) is crucial for its promotion. The aim was to analyze the relationship between motor competence (MC) and PA and the role of physical fitness (PF). Participants were N = 1,064 children of both sexes (n = 530 girls) and 7.87 ± 1.17 years of age. MC was assessed with…

Rodrigues, Luis Paulo; Saraiva, Linda; Gabbard, Carl – Research Quarterly for Exercise and Sport, 2005
A contemporary view of early childhood motor development considers environmental influences as critical factors in optimal growth and behavior, with the home being the primary agent. However, there has been minimal research examining the relationship between motor development and the home. The present study addresses this gap with the goal of…
