perceived Physical Competence predicts gains in children s locomotor but not ball skills across an intervention
International Journal of Environmental Research and Public Health, 2021Co-Authors: Kara K. Palmer, Michael A. Nunu, Katherine Q Scottandrews, Leah E RobinsonAbstract:The purpose of this pre/post experimental study was to examine if children’s perceived Physical Competence predicted changes in motor skills across an intervention. Sixty-seven children (Mage = 53.2 ± 3.7 months) participated in a 16-week, mastery-climate motor skill intervention. Perceived Physical Competence was assessed before the intervention using the Physical Competence subscale of the Pictorial Scale of Perceived Competence and Social Acceptance for Young Children. Motor skills were assessed using the Test of Gross Motor Development-3rd Edition before and after the intervention. Results revealed that controlling for pretest skills, perceived Physical Competence significantly predicted posttest locomotor (p 0.05). These results indicate that perceived Physical Competence may be a significant factor that predicts children’s gains in locomotor or total skills, but not ball skills, across an intervention.

protocol for a two cohort randomized cluster clinical trial of a motor skills intervention the promoting activity and trajectories of health path study
BMJ Open, 2020Co-Authors: Leah E Robinson, David F Stodden, Lu Wang, Natalie Colabianchi, Dale A UlrichAbstract:Introduction Data supports that motor skills are an underlying mechanism that influence Physical activity along with perceived motor and Physical Competence, but the relationship between motor skills and Physical activity during the early years is unclear. The goal of this study, Promoting Activity and Trajectories of Health (PATH) for Children, is to examine and compare the immediate (pre-test to post-test) and sustained (3-year follow-up) effect of an intervention on motor performance, Physical activity and perceived Physical Competence to a control condition (ie, standard practice) in preschool-age children. Methods and analysis The PATH study is a two-cohort, randomised cluster clinical trial. 300 children between the ages of >3.5 to 5 years of age will be randomised to the motor skill intervention (n=153) or control (n=147) condition. Each assessment involves a measure of motor skill performance; product and process, seven consecutive days of Physical activity monitoring and perceived Physical Competence. These measures will be assessed before and after the intervention (pre-test to post-test) and then each academic year across 3 years, grades kindergarten, first grade and second grade (3-year follow-up). To assess the clustered longitudinal effect of the intervention on outcome measures, random-effects models (eg, mixed model regression, growth curve modelling and structural equation modelling) will be used. The PATH study addresses gaps in paediatric exercise science research. Findings hold the potential to help shape public health and educational policies and interventions that support healthy development and active living during the early years. Ethics and dissemination Ethical approval for this study was obtained through the Health Sciences and Behavioral Sciences Institutional Review Board, University of Michigan (HUM00133319). The PATH study is funded by the National Institutes of Health. Findings will be disseminated via print, online media, dissemination events and practitioner and/or research journals.

body mass index perceived and actual Physical Competence the relationship among young children
Child Care Health and Development, 2012Co-Authors: Leah E Robinson, B C Spessato, Carl Gabbard, Nadia Cristina ValentiniAbstract:Background The purpose of this study was to examine the relationship between perceived Physical Competence (PPC), actual motor Competence (MC) and body mass index (BMI) in young children. Methods We assessed MC (Test of Gross Motor Development – 2nd Edition), PPC (Pictorial Scale of Perceived Competence and Social Acceptance) and BMI (CDC calculator) of 178 young children ages 4–7 years. Results The linear regression model for the overall sample showed that BMI was a better predictor of PPC than MC. Also, obese children had lower PPC, but showed no differences in MC compared with leaner peers. Conclusions PPC of young obese children was lower than their leaner counterparts, yet their MC was similar. That outcome draws attention to the importance of promoting positive PPC in young children.

correlates of school day Physical activity in preschool students
Research Quarterly for Exercise and Sport, 2012Co-Authors: Leah E Robinson, Danielle D Wadsworth, Christina M PeoplesAbstract:This study examined the relationship among sex, body mass index, motor skill Competence (MSC), perceived Physical Competence (PPC), and school-day Physical activity in preschool students (N = 34). Physical activity was assessed by steps accumulated during the school day, while MSC and PPC were assessed with the Test of Gross Motor Development–2nd edition (Ulrich, 2000) and the Pictorial Scale of Perceived Competence and Social Acceptance (Harter & Pike, 1984). Regression analyses revealed that preschool students' locomotor ability accounted for 21% (p = .007) of the variance associated with school-day Physical activity. The findings support an association between participants' ability to locomote and be Physically active. The findings warrant future investigations to examine the relationship between locomotor skills and Physical activity behaviors.

motor Competence perceived Physical Competence Physical fitness and Physical activity within finnish children
Scandinavian Journal of Medicine & Science in Sports, 2019Co-Authors: Timo Jaakkola, Mikko Huhtiniemi, Kasper Salin, Sanni Seppala, Jukka Lahti, Harto Hakonen, David F StoddenAbstract:The purpose of this study was to investigate reciprocal relationships among students' motor Competence (MC) (leaping, throwing, catching, jumping skills), perceived Physical Competence, health-related fitness (HRF) (20 m shuttle run, push-up, abdominal muscles endurance tests) and objectively measured moderate-to-vigorous Physical activity (MVPA). Participants included 422 Grade 5 Finnish children (246 girls). Two separate structural equation models investigated paths (a) from MC through both perceived Physical Competence and HRF to MVPA, and (b) from MVPA through both perceived Physical Competence and HRF to MC. Model 1 demonstrated an indirect path from MC through HRF to MVPA and a direct path from MC to perceived Physical Competence for both boys and girls. Additionally, model 1 revealed a direct path from perceived Physical Competence to MVPA for the girls and from MC to MVPA for the boys. MC, perceived Physical Competence, and HRF explained 13% of variance in MVPA for the girls and 25% for the boys. Model 2 indicated indirect paths from MVPA through perceived Physical Competence to MC and from MVPA through HRF to MC for both boys and girls. Additionally, a direct path from MVPA to MC was found in the boys' group. MVPA, perceived Physical Competence, and HRF explained 48% of variance in MC for the girls and 53% for the boys. Results of this study provide preliminary support for the reciprocal nature of relationships among MC development, perceived Physical Competence, HRF and MVPA.

motivational climate motor skill development and perceived Competence two studies of developmentally delayed kindergarten children
Journal of Teaching in Physical Education, 2004Co-Authors: Nadia Cristina Valentini, Mary E RudisillAbstract:Two studies were conducted to examine the effects of motivational climate on motor-skill development and perceived Physical Competence in kindergarten children with developmental delays. In Experiment 1, two intervention groups were exposed to environments with either high (mastery climate) or low autonomy for 12 weeks. Results showed that the mastery-climate group demonstrated significantly better locomotor performance and higher perceived Physical Competence postintervention than did the low-autonomy group, although both groups improved in locomotor and object-control skill performance. The second investigation extended the findings of the first by determining that the intervention effects were present 6 months later. In summary, the masteryclimate group showed positive changes in skill development and perceived Physical Competence, and this positive pattern of change was maintained over time.

associations between teacher training and measures of Physical literacy among canadian 8 to 12 year old students
BMC Public Health, 2018Co-Authors: Barbi Law, Brenda Bruner, Sara Scharoun M Benson, Kristal D Anderson, Melanie J Gregg, Nathan Hall, Kirstin Lane, Dany J Macdonald, Travis J Saunders, Dwayne P SheehanAbstract:Quality Physical education (PE) contributes to the development of Physical literacy among children, yet little is known about how teacher training relates to this development. We assessed the association between teacher training, and the likelihood that children met recommended achievement levels for components of Physical literacy as defined by the Canadian Assessment of Physical Literacy (CAPL). Canadian children (n = 4189; M = 10.72 years, SD = 1.19) from six provinces completed the CAPL. Logistic regression was used to examine the relationship between teacher training (generalist/PE specialist), adjusting for children’s age and gender, and Physical Competence protocols (sit and reach, handgrip, plank, Progressive Aerobic Cardiovascular Endurance Run [PACER], body mass index [BMI], waist circumference, Canadian Agility and Movement Skill Assessment [CAMSA]), the four CAPL domain scores, and the total CAPL score. Teacher training, in addition to children’s age and gender, explained only a very small proportion of variance in each model (all R2 < 0.03). Children taught by a generalist were less likely to reach recommended levels of motivation and confidence (OR = 0.83, 95% CI, 0.72–0.95) or CAMSA scores (OR = 0.77, 95% CI, 0.67–0.90), even when accounting for a significant increase in CAMSA score with age (OR = 1.18, 95% CI, 1.12–1.26). All other associations between measures of components of Physical literacy and teacher training were not significant. While teacher training is hypothesized to contribute to the development of Physical literacy among elementary school students, the observed effects in this study were either small or null. Children taught by PE specialists were more likely than those taught by generalists to demonstrate recommended levels of motivation and confidence, and to have better movement skills, which are hypothesized to be critical prerequisites for the development of a healthy lifestyle. Further research with more robust designs is merited to understand the impact of teachers’ training on the various components of Physical literacy development.
