Part I of this study examined the effect of two 9-week instructional climates (low autonomy
[LA] and mastery motivational climate [MMC]) on object-control (OC) skill development in …

Background Movement skill competence (eg the ability to throw, run and kick) is a potentially
important physical activity determinant. However, little is known about the long-term impact …

Preschoolers with developmental delay (DD) are at risk for poor fundamental movement
skills (FMS), but a paucity of early FMS interventions exist. The purpose of this review was to …

Fundamental motor skills (FMS) are the foundation for the development of advanced motor
skills. To assess the effect of physical activity intervention on the promotion of FMS and …
