  • The key roles of teammates, coaches, and instrumental support in adolescent sports participation

    Open AccessGwennyth E Spruijtenburg, Femke Van Abswoude et al.ARTICLEFrontiers in Sports and Active…2025Cited by: 1References: 48

    IntroductionSports participation is important for promoting lifelong health and well-being. However, it often declines during adolescence, highlighting the need to understand the factors related to adolescent sports participation. This prospective study examines the associations between different sources (e.g., family, peers, coaches, teachers) and types (e.g., emotional, instrumental, co-participation) of social support and hours of organized sp…

  • Awareness about developmental coordination disorder

    Open AccessBert Steenbergen, Ludvík Valtr et al.ARTICLEFrontiers in Public Health2024

    The present paper is designed to promote awareness of DCD outside the academic world. With a prevalence of 5–6% it is one of the most common disorders of child development. It is therefore surprising that so little is known about it among professionals in child healthcare and education. Parents have expressed frustration about this lack of awareness, including the general public. The general aim of this paper was to describe those critical aspect…

  • Development of complex executive function over childhood

    Open AccessThomas B McGuckian, Peter H Wilson et al.ARTICLEChild Development2023

    This longitudinal study modeled children's complex executive function (EF) development using the Groton Maze Learning Task (GMLT). Using a cohort-sequential design, 147 children (61 males, 5.5–11 years) were recruited from six multicultural primary schools in Melbourne and Perth, Australia. Race/ethnicity data were not available. Children were assessed on the GMLT at 6-month intervals over 2-years between 2010 and 2012. Growth curve models descri…

  • Factors Related to Adolescents’ Participation in Organized Sports

    Open AccessGwennyth E Spruijtenburg, Femke Van Abswoude et al.ARTICLEInternational Journal of…2022

    Participation in organized sports has important health benefits in adolescence, yet participation rates are concerning. A better understanding of factors influencing adolescents' participation in organized sports offers opportunities to improve participation rates. The aim of this study was to examine to what extent motives, perceived competence, encouragement and motor skills were associated with participation in organized sports in a sample of …

  • Development of motor imagery ability in children with developmental coordination disorder – A goal‐directed pointing task

    Open AccessImke L J Adams, Jessica M Lust et al.ARTICLEBritish Journal of Psychology2018References: 46

    Children with developmental coordination disorder ( DCD ) have difficulties with the predictive control of movements. This was shown in studies that target motor imagery and motor planning, and appears to become particularly evident with increases in task complexity. In this study, we used a complex mental chronometry paradigm to examine the development of motor imagery ability in children with DCD , using a longitudinal design. Thirty children w…

  • Participation, both a means and an end

    Open AccessChristine Imms, Mats Granlund et al.ARTICLEDevelopmental Medicine & Child…2017

    This review outlines a conceptual approach to inform research and practice aimed at supporting children whose lives are complicated by impairment and/or chronic medical conditions, and their families. ‘Participation’ in meaningful life activities should be an essential intervention goal, to meet the challenges of healthy growth and development, and to provide opportunities to help ensure that young people with impairments reach their full potenti…

  • Testing predictive control of movement in children with developmental coordination disorder using converging operations

    Open AccessImke L J Adams, Jessica M Lust et al.ARTICLEBritish Journal of Psychology2017Cited by: 1References: 65

    Recent systematic reviews (Wilsonet al., 2013,Dev. Med. Child Neurol.,55, 217; Adamset al., 2014,Neurosci. Biobehav. Rev.,47C, 225) suggest that a common underlying problem in developmental coordination disorder (DCD) is the internal modelling deficit. The study presented here is the first to test this hypothesis using a within-subject design, assessing motor imagery, action planning, and rapid online control (ROC) in a sample of children screene…

  • Impact of diarrhoea and faecal incontinence on the daily life of HIV-infected patients

    Fransje Snijders, Josien B de Boer et al.ARTICLEAIDS Care1998

    Diarrhoea in HIV-1 infected persons is an important clinical problem. To improve care and counselling, information about the way, and the extent to which, diarrhoea influences the daily life of these patients can be useful. A cross-sectional descriptive study was performed at the HIV infection clinic of three major hospitals in Amsterdam. A diary, the Coates card system (to determine the relative severity of the symptoms) and an interview were us…

  • Spoon Handling in Two-to-Four-Year-Old Children

    Bert Steenbergen, Jill Van Der Kamp et al.ARTICLEEcological Psychology1997

    A method for the study of tool use is presented from the perspective of an ecological approach to perception and action. It is argued that the essence of tool use lies in the maintenance of a specific relation between the organism + tool complex and the environment. Control over the tool is subordinate to this aim. It is proposed that perturbations of the tool-environment relation reveal the essential dimensions of organism + tool complex. A simp…
