TL;DR: MC is an important predictor of PA in children 6–10 years of age, and the general trend for a decrease in PA level across years was attenuated or amplified depending on initial level of MC.
Abstract: This study considers relationships among motor coordination (MC), physical fitness (PF) and physical activity (PA) in children followed longitudinally from 6 to 10 years. It is hypothesized that MC is a significant and primary predictor of PA in children. Subjects were 142 girls and 143 boys. Height, weight and skinfolds; PA (Godin-Shephard questionnaire); MC (Korperkoordination Test fur Kinder); and PF (five fitness items) were measured. Hierarchical linear modeling with MC and PF as predictors of PA was used. The retained model indicated that PA at baseline differed significantly between boys (48.3 MET/week) and girls (40.0 MET/week). The interaction of MC and 1 mile run/walk had a positive influence on level of PA. The general trend for a decrease in PA level across years was attenuated or amplified depending on initial level of MC. The estimated rate of decline in PA was negligible for children with higher levels of MC at 6 years, but was augmented by 2.58 and 2.47 units each year, respectively, for children with low and average levels of initial MC. In conclusion MC is an important predictor of PA in children 6-10 years of age.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors evaluated whether firms managed by female CEOs exhibit the same performance as those managed by male CEOs, and examined if the gender of the CEO affects the firm risk level and if the compensation packages that boards give to female CEOs have less risky components than those given to male CEOs.

TL;DR: Cluster analysis revealed that PAHs and PCBs were associated with anthropogenic toxic elements (Cu, Pb, Zn and HG in Lisbon; Pb and Hg in Viseu), therefore reflecting common sources, and it was found that organic carbon was an important factor for PAHS and high chlorinated PCB retention in soils.
