Purpose. Motor coordination is proposed to be a relatively stable age-related construct, unlikely to be influenced by aligned
experiential factors such as intensive sport-specific training. The purpose of the study is to investigate if there are differences
in motor coordination abilities among young artistic gymnasts, swimmers, and ice hockey players.
Methods. The participants of the study were 508 female and 258 male adolescents (age, M = 12.80, SD = 1.10) comprising artistic
gymnasts (n = 463), swimmers (n = 70), and ice hockey players (n = 233). The KTK-test protocol was used to analyse their gross
motor coordination abilities.
Results. The results of the study demonstrated that gymnasts scored better than ice hockey players and swimmers in the test
of walking backwards along a beam, and better than ice hockey players in total motor coordination, hopping over an obstacle,
and the test of moving sideways on wooden boards. However, ice hockey players scored higher than swimmers and gymnasts
in the test of jumping from side to side. Subsequently, swimmers obtained better results in the test of moving sideways on
wooden boards as compared with ice hockey players.
Conclusions. The study results indicate that intensive sport-specific training may extend young athletes’ motor coordination
characteristics in the ability areas representative of the sport in which they engage.

Motorinen koordinaatio ja sen yhteys juoksunaikaiseen reisilihasten yhteisaktivaatioon alakouluikäisillä lapsilla
Jylänki, Pinja (2019)Kansallisten tutkimusten mukaan lapset liikkuvat entistä vähemmän ja vain kolmannes lapsista liikkuu kansainvälisten suositusten mukaisesti. Vaikka suositukset täyttyisivätkin, lapset ovat suurimman osan päivästään paikallaan ... -

Asunta, P.; Viholainen, H.; Ahonen, T.; Rintala, P. (BioMed Central Ltd., 2019)Background Early identification of children with motor difficulties, such as developmental coordination disorder (DCD), is essential. At present only a fraction of children with DCD are identified. The purpose of the study ... -
