Can motor proficiency in preschool age affect physical activity in adolescence? Pediatric Exercise Science. 2017;29:254-259. The purpose of this study was to determine if motor proficiency during preschool is associated with physical activity during adolescence. This longitudinal study began by measuring the motor proficiency of 413 children, ages 4-6. Ten years later, the physical activity level of 106 of the original participants was measured. Motor proficiency was measures using the BTOMP-SF, testing both gross and fine motor skills. Some of these skills included single leg stance, tandem walking, running speed and agility, standing broad jump, catching and throwing a ball, drawing activities, and response speed. Upon scoring, participants are then classified as low, below average, average, above average, and high motor proficiencies. Physical activity was measured using Omron…

No further updates to provide. Article Review: Marmeleira J, Veiga G, Cansado H, Raimundo A. Relationship between motor proficiency and body composition in 6- to 10-year old children. J Paediatr Child Health. 2017 Jan 3; 1-6. Marmeleira et al. studied children 6-10 years old to determine a correlation between body composition and motor proficiency. These researchers used the Bruininks-Oseretsky Test of Motor Proficiency Short Form (BOT-SF) to test gross and fine motor skills. The 156 participants were male and female elementary school-aged children. Body composition was determined through BMI (height and weight) and skinfold thickness (5 sites). Motor proficiency was determined by the BOT-SF, which includes the subtests of running speed and agility, balance, coordination, strength, reaction time, visual control, and dexterity. The results of the study found that 40% of the females and 30% of the males were overweight or obese. The participants with higher body fat…

Accessed February 27, 2017. Lin et al. researched the effects of touchscreen use on fine motor development in preschoolers. 80 children (N=80; boys: 52; mean age 61.0 ± 7.6 months) without developmental delay were split into two groups of 40 based on prior usage of touch screen tablets. The children who used a touchscreen for more than 10 minutes a day for a month were placed in the test group, and the others were in the non touch screen group. Researchers utilized the BOT-2 to examine each child’s fine motor performance before and after the study, and they also assessed pinch strength using a hand held pinch dynamometer before and after the study. Both groups participated in 20 minutes of training activities per day for 24 consecutive weeks. The…
