Purpose
To examine how development of motor competence (locomotor, object control, stability) and development of musculoskeletal fitness (upper body and abdominal) are related during adolescence, in a large sample of Finnish youth over four years.
Methods
Study participants were students (n = 1147; 11.27[±0.33] years at baseline) attending public schools in Finland. Data were collected yearly (2017-2021). Motor competence was assessed using the throwing-catching combination test, 5-leaps test and side-to-side jumping test. Musculoskeletal fitness was assessed using the curl-ups and push-ups tests. To answer the research question, a parallel latent growth curve model was implemented. Covariates were sex, body mass index (BMI) and peak height velocity (PHV).
Results
Improvements in all motor competencies were positively associated with improvements in push-ups. Subsequently, improvements in 5-leaps and side-to-side jumping test scores were related to improvements in curl-ups. Our covariate results indicate sex (male), a healthy BMI, and undergoing PHV were associated with greater increases in motor competency and musculoskeletal fitness.
Conclusions
Given fitness has been shown to mediate the relationship between physical activity and motor competence, positive practices are needed to enhance adolescents’ experiences in physical activities and sports requiring adequate intensity, to improve fitness and motor competence.

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 ... -
