Exploring the Relationship Between Play During School Recess and Motor Performance in 6- to 8-Year-Old Children
One explanation might be that these play variables in itself are not related to motor performance, but that these variables should be investigated as an integrated whole rather than in isolation. Therefore, future research should investigate whether interactions between the play variables are related to motor performance
Development of fundamental motor skills between 2006 and 2016 in Dutch primary school children
Background Fundamental Motor Skills (FMS) are important building blocks for children’s sport-participation and lifelong physical activity. In the last decade, several international studies have reported delays in the development of FMS. To get better insight into the Dutch situation and to provide future directions, this study examined the development of FMS in Dutch primary school children.Method The main goal of this study is to compare FMS of …
Objectively measured physical activity during primary school physical education predicts intrinsic motivation independently of academic achievement level
BackgroundChildren's participation in physical education (PE) is seen as important for developing an active lifestyle and has been positively linked to academic achievement. Physical activity (PA) levels during PE are thought to be linked to PE-motivation, although this relation is poorly understood.AimsThis study examined (1) whether children's PA-levels during PE were predictive of their PE-motivation and (2) whether the relation between PA-lev…
Resting state networks mediate the association between both cardiovascular fitness and gross motor skills with neurocognitive functioning
Recent evidence suggests that cardiovascular fitness and gross motor skill performance are related to neurocognitive functioning by influencing brain structure and functioning. This study investigates the role of resting-state networks (RSNs) in the relation of cardiovascular fitness and gross motor skills with neurocognitive functioning in healthy 8- to 11-year-old children (n = 90, 45 girls, 10% migration background). Cardiovascular fitness and…
The Relationships between Sibling Characteristics and Motor Performance in 3- to 5-Year-Old Typically Developing Children
Siblings have been hypothesized to positively impact the motor performance of children by acting as examples and by providing a safe environment, but they may also negatively impact motor performance because they could compete for the parent's time and care. Therefore, this study investigates the relationship between several sibling characteristics and motor performance in 3- to 5-year-old children. The sample consisted of 205 3- to 5-year-old ch…
Adiposity and High Blood Pressure during Childhood: A Prospective Analysis of the Role of Physical Activity Intensity and Sedentary Time in the Gecko Drenthe Cohort
Whereas in adults, physical inactivity is strongly related to obesity and hypertension, in young children the evidence is inconsistent and scarce. We examined the association between physical activity (PA) behaviours at 5-6 years of age and adiposity and blood pressure (BP) at 10-11 years in 947 children (51% boys) from the Groningen Expert Center for Kids with Obesity (GECKO) Drenthe cohort. Sedentary time (ST) and light, moderate, and vigorous …
Physical activity around the clock: Objectively measured activity patterns in young children of the Gecko Drenthe cohort
At this young age, the relevance of different PA patterns to childhood overweight was minimal. Children were most active in the afternoon and late afternoon. To encourage PA in general, ST can be reduced and PA increased in the early morning and evening. Targeted PA interventions to specifically stimulate the least active children could take place in the late afternoon or evening
The relationship between motor skills and cognitive skills in 4–16 year old typically developing children: A systematic review
Moderate-to-vigorous physically active academic lessons and academic engagement in children with and without a social disadvantage: A within subject experimental design
Physically active academic lessons may positively influence time-on-task in children, which can contribute to academic success in the long term
Team history and choking under pressure in major soccer penalty shootouts
This study examined the links between historical team results and individual players’ subsequent performances in a high‐pressure real‐world sport situation. Videos were obtained from all soccer penalty shootouts held in two major international tournaments (World Cup and European Championships) between 1976 and 2006 ( n = 260 players/309 kicks), and we controlled for team ability and country. The results showed that players on teams with preceding…
