Gandotra, Aditi; Kotyuk, Eszter; Bizonics, Róbert; Khan, Imran; Petánszki, Minka; Kiss, Lilian; Paulina, Laura; Cserjesi, Renata – European Journal of Developmental Psychology, 2023
Motor skills develop rapidly during early childhood and are considered important for optimal child development. However, little is known about the relationship of motor skills with indicators of cognitive and socio-emotional development in typically developing preschoolers. In view of this, the present study examined the association of gross motor…

Bibro, Marta A.; Wódka, Katarzyna; Smola, Eliza; Jankowicz-Szymanska, Agnieszka – Journal of Applied Research in Intellectual Disabilities, 2023
Background: The aim of the study was to assess the effect of climbing on static and dynamic balance and to determine the usefulness of such training in supporting the fitness of young adults with mild and moderate intellectual disabilities. Method: The study involved 47 men and 21 women aged 18-25 years. The experimental group participated in…

Strooband, Karel F. B.; Howard, Steven J.; Okely, Anthony D.; Neilsen-Hewett, Cathrine; de Rosnay, Marc – Early Childhood Education Journal, 2023
Due to the lack of tools that can be easily used by practitioners, there is a need to develop acceptable embedded ways to assess children's fine motor skill development within early childhood education and care settings. This study examined the validity and reliability of a brief and ecologically valid fine motor assessment tool for preschool-aged…

Cooke, Daniel M.; Harrison, Craig B.; Millar, Sarah-Kate; Walters, Simon – Journal of Teaching in Physical Education, 2023
Purpose: To investigate the effects of a nonlinear pedagogical approach to primary school physical education (PE) upon children's movement skill competence. Methods: Forty-six (male = 25 and female = 21) children aged 6-9 years participated in either a nonlinear pedagogy (NP) or linear pedagogy approach to PE for 9 weeks. Children's movement skill…

McKay, Brad; Corson, Abbey; Vinh, Mary-Anne; Jeyarajan, Gianna; Tandon, Chitrini; Brooks, Hugh; Hubley, Julie; Carter, Michael J. – Journal of Motor Learning and Development, 2023
A priori power analyses can ensure studies are unlikely to miss interesting effects. Recent metascience has suggested that kinesiology research may be underpowered and selectively reported. Here, we examined whether power analyses are being used to ensure informative studies in motor behavior. We reviewed every article published in three motor…

Plumb, Mandy S.; Charity, Megan; Milla, Kimberly; Bodt, Barry; Getchell, Nancy – Journal of Motor Learning and Development, 2023
Background: Previous research suggests that children with or at risk of probable developmental coordination disorder (pDCD) activate different areas of the brain when performing certain motor skills compared with typically developing (TD) children. This study used functional near-infrared spectroscopy to compare prefrontal cortex (PFC) activity in…

Schmuckler, Mark A.; Paolozza, Angelina – Developmental Psychology, 2023
Research on the multisensory control of locomotion has demonstrated that adults exhibit auditory-motor entrainment across an array of contexts. In such work adults will consciously modulate the cadence of their walking when instructed to match their footfalls to an auditory metronome equal to, slower than, or faster than, their natural walking…

Young, Lisa; Alfrey, Laura; O'Connor, Justen – European Physical Education Review, 2023
This paper explores how various ideological positions or 'cosmoses' associated with physical literacy (PL) have come to be and, in doing so, extends scholarship by examining and presenting PL as a multiplicity of "physical literacies." Drawing on Stengers' notion of 'cosmopolitics' and Venturini's 'cartography of controversies' method,…

Pelizzari, Federica; Marangi, Michele; Rivoltella, Pier Cesare; Peretti, Giulia; Massaro, Davide; Villani, Daniela – Research on Education and Media, 2023
We propose the results of a research that combines the educational and psychological media approach, to verify the pedagogical potential of coding and robotics in the learning processes of 4-year-old children at the cognitive and socio-relational level. The study investigated the impact of unplugged and plugged coding on the skills of spatiality,…

Richard, Veronique; Glaveanu, Vlad; Aubertin, Patrice – Journal of Creative Behavior, 2023
Knowledge about embodied creativity is in its infancy. In circus arts, performers are nowadays 'owning' their creativity making this performance domain fruitful to study embodied creativity. Building on socio-cultural creativity perspectives and radical embodied cognitive sciences, the current study aimed at exploring movement creativity by…

Lindsay, Riki S.; Larkin, Paul; Kittel, Aden; Spittle, Michael – Physical Education and Sport Pedagogy, 2023
Background: Physical practice is the cornerstone of acquiring and developing movement skills in physical education and sport. However, research has suggested that psychological tools, such as mental imagery (MI), could effectively supplement a learner's physical practice schedule. MI is the mental simulation of a movement or situation in the…

Ercin, Cigdem Bulgan; Altan, Benil Kistak; Basar, Mustafa Arslan; Bingül, Bergün Meriç – International Journal of Curriculum and Instruction, 2023
The aim of this study was to investigation of the relationship between knee and ankle angles and squat/countermovement jump heights at the age group of 15-17 swimmers. 10 girls (mean age 15.30±0.48yrs, mean height 165.00±5.33cm, mean mass 49.60±5.10kg) and 13 boys (mean age 16.00±1.00yrs, mean height 178.00±7.32cm, mean mass 64.31±7.35kg) were…

Riya Chatterjee; Nicholas E. Fears; Gavin Lichtenberg; Priscila M. Tamplain; Haylie L. Miller – Journal of Motor Learning and Development, 2023
Despite a growing awareness of the prevalence of motor differences in the autistic community, their functional impact is poorly understood. Social media offers the ideal setting to observe this discourse in a less-contrived setting than lab-based structured interviews. The aims of the present study were (a) to determine the proportion of Twitter…

Priscila M. Tamplain; Nicholas E. Fears; Promise Robinson; Riya Chatterjee; Gavin Lichtenberg; Haylie L. Miller – Journal of Motor Learning and Development, 2023
Little is known about adults' experiences with developmental coordination disorder (DCD; sometimes also referred to as dyspraxia). Social media is an accessible opportunity for those who identify as dyspraxic or as having DCD to provide valuable insight into the lifespan impact of this condition on functional ability, participation, compensatory…

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…
