Does fundamental movement skill proficiency vary by sex, class group or weight status? Evidence from an Irish primary school setting.
(Taylor & Francis, 2019)
This study examined fundamental movement skill (FMS) proficiency among male (N=216) and female (N=198) Irish primary school pupils from Year 2 to Year 7 (9.0 ± 1.7 years). Following anthropometric measurements, participants ...
Activity profiles and the associations with weight status in population studies of young children: are there gender differences?
(Human Kinetics, 2017-02)
Purpose:
Profiling activity behaviors in young children is important to understand changes in weight status over time. The purpose of this study is to identify activity profiles from self- and parental-reported Physical ...
