Motor skill difficulties are mentioned as a common feature of Asperger syndrome (AS) but specific information regarding young adults is scarce. The purposes of this study were: to compare the motor skills of young adults with AS with age and gender matched controls using the updated version of the standardized Movement Assessment battery for children (M-ABC-II), and to compare the motor skills between younger and older participants within both groups (index and control group). Additionally validity and reliability of the M-ABC-II for use with the present population were explored. Young adults with AS performed these motor tasks at a remarkably lower level than their peers. They continued to demonstrate motor delays over age, even though motor competencies of individuals with AS seemed to improve after the adolescent years. The use of the M-ABC-II is recommended for young adults with AS as a valuable tool in assessing motor skills for setting up the intervention in educational and clinical practice.

Associations Between Motor Competence and Executive Functions in Children and Adolescents : A Systematic Review and Meta-analysis
Bao, Ran; Wade, Levi; Leahy, Angus A.; Owen, Katherine B.; Hillman, Charles H.; Jaakkola, Timo; Lubans, David Revalds (Springer, 2024)Background Motor competence and executive functions co-develop throughout childhood and adolescence, and there is emerging evidence that improvements in motor competence may have cognitive benefits in these populations. ... -
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 ... -
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 ... -
Reduced Peak Bone Mass in Young Adults with Low Motor Competence
Tan, Jocelyn; Ng ,Carrie‐Anne; Hart, Nicolas; Rantalainen, Timo; Sim, Marc; Scott, David; Zhu, Kun; Hands, Beth; Chivers, Paola (Wiley-Blackwell, 2023)Although suboptimal bone health has been reported in children and adolescents with low motor competence (LMC), it is not known whether such deficits are present at the time of peak bone mass. We examined the impact of LMC ...
