Fundamental movement skills and habitual physical activity in young children.
Abigail Fisher,John J. Reilly,Louise A. Kelly,Colette Montgomery,A Williamson,James Y. Paton,Stan Grant +6 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors test for relationships between objectively measured habitual physical activity and fundamental movement skills in a relatively large and representative sample of preschool children, and they find that the association between the two variables was weak.
Is There A Relationship Between Fundamental Movement Skills And Habitual Physical Activity In Young Children
Abigail Fisher,John J. Reilly,Louise A. Kelly,C Mongtgomery,A Williamson,James Y. Paton,JY Grant +6 more
TL;DR: Fundamental movement skills were significantly associated with habitual physical activity, but the association between the two variables was weak and the present study questions whether the widely assumed relationships between motor skills and habitualPhysical activity actually exist in young children.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: Physical activity can significantly improve motor skills but did not reduce body mass index in young children in this trial.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors analyzed the genetic and environmental contributions to BMI variation from infancy to early adulthood and the ways they differ by sex and geographic regions representing high (North America and Australia), moderate (Europe), and low levels (East Asia) of obesogenic environments.

TL;DR: Comparing geographic-cultural regions, genetic variance was greatest in North-America and Australia and lowest in East-Asia, but the relative proportion of genetic variation was roughly similar across these regions.
