Background: Physical activity, fundamental motor skills, executive functions and early numeracy have shown to be related, but very little is known about the developmental relations of these factors.
Procedure: We followed 317 children (3–6 years) over two years. Fundamental motor skills and executive functions (inhibition+switching, updating) were measured at all time points (T1, T2, T3) and physical activity at T1 and early numeracy at T3.
Main findings: Children with better fundamental motor skills at T1 developed slower in inhibition and switching. Fundamental motor skills developed faster in children who had better initial inhibition and switching ability. Vigorous physical activity at T1 was associated with a weaker initial inhibition and switching. The initial level and the developmental rate of updating were related to better early numeracy skills.
Conclusions: Findings indicate that fundamental motor skills and executive functions are developmentally related, and updating is an important predictor for early numeracy in preschoolers.

Jylänki, Pinja; Mbay, Theo; Hakkarainen, Airi; Sääkslahti, Arja; Aunio, Pirjo (Elsevier BV, 2022)The present systematic review aimed to investigate the methodological quality and the effects of fundamental motor skills and physical activity interventions on cognitive and academic skills in typically developing 3 to ... -
Participant characteristics associated with the effects of a physical and cognitive training program on executive functions
Tirkkonen, Anna; Törmäkangas, Timo; Kulmala, Jenni; Hänninen, Tuomo; Neely, Anna Stigsdotter; Sipilä, Sarianna (Frontiers Media SA, 2022)Background: Physical and cognitive interventions have been shown to induce positive effects on older adults’ executive functioning. However, since participants with different background characteristics may respond differently ... -

How physical activity, fitness, and motor skills contribute to math performance : Working memory as a mediating factor
Syväoja, Heidi J.; Kankaanpää, Anna; Hakonen, Harto; Inkinen, Virpi; Kulmala, Janne; Joensuu, Laura; Räsänen, Pekka; Hillman, Charles H.; Tammelin, Tuija H. (Wiley, 2021)Purpose The purpose of this study was to examine whether physical activity, fitness and motor skills have indirect association with math performance via cognitive outcomes and if so, through which aspects of cognition? ...
