• Girls with low motor competence may be particularly at risk of insufficient skeletal loading; latent profiles analysis of a four-year follow-up of Finnish adolescents 

  Rantalainen, Timo; Gråsten, Arto; Haapala, Eero A.; Ortega, Francisco B.; Huhtiniemi, Mikko; Jaakkola, Timo (Oxford University Press (OUP), 2023)

  Purpose Adequate skeletal loads during the adolescent growth spurt are elemental in building a robust skeleton. Adolescents with poorer motor competence are less active and develop a less robust skeleton compared to their ...

• Effect of Childhood Developmental Coordination Disorder on Adulthood Physical Activity : Arvo Ylppö Longitudinal Study 

  Tan, Jocelyn L.K.; Ylä‐Kojola, Anna‐Mari; Eriksson, Johan G.; Salonen, Minna K.; Wasenius, Niko; Hart, Nicolas H.; Chivers, Paola; Rantalainen, Timo; Lano, Aulikki; Piitulainen, Harri (Wiley, 2022)

  Individuals at risk of Developmental Coordination Disorder (DCD) have low levels of physical activity in childhood due to impaired motor competence, however physical activity levels in adulthood have not been established. ...

• Actual and Perceived Motor Competence, Cardiorespiratory Fitness, Physical Activity, and Weight Status in Schoolchildren : Latent Profile and Transition Analyses 

  Kolunsarka, Iiris; Gråstén, Arto; Huhtiniemi, Mikko; Jaakkola, Timo (Human Kinetics, 2022)

  Engagement in physical activity plays a central role in the prevention and treatment of childhood overweight/obesity. However, some children may lack the skills and confidence to be physically active. This 3-year follow-up ...

• Impact of Motor Competence Profiles on Adolescents’ Physical Activity and Cardiorespiratory Fitness across Four Years 

  Kolunsarka, Iiris; Gråstèn, Arto; Stodden, David; Huhtiniemi, Mikko; Jaakkola, Timo (Lippincott Williams & Wilkins, 2023)

  Introduction Physical activity levels have decreased over past decades with most adolescents neither meeting the current physical activity recommendations nor demonstrating adequate cardiorespiratory fitness. Motor ...

• Motor skill competence and moderate- and vigorous-intensity physical activity : a linear and non-linear cross-sectional analysis of eight pooled trials 

  Barnett, L. M.; Verswijveren, S. J. J. M.; Colvin, B.; Lubans, D. R.; Telford, R. M.; Lander, N. J.; Schott, N.; Tietjens, M.; Hesket, K. D.; Morgan, P. J.; Hinkley, T.; Downing, K. L.; Telford, R. D.; Cohen, K. E.; Ridgers, N. D.; Abbott, G. (Biomed Central, 2024)

  Background Few studies have examined the relationship between motor skill competence and device-measured physical activity in large samples and none have used non-linear modelling. This study assessed the linear and ...
