The purpose of this study was to investigate reciprocal relationships among students’ motor competence (MC) (leaping, throwing, catching, jumping skills), perceived physical competence, health‐related fitness (HRF) (20 m shuttle run, push‐up, abdominal muscles endurance tests) and objectively measured moderate‐to‐vigorous physical activity (MVPA). Participants included 422 Grade 5 Finnish children (246 girls). Two separate structural equation models investigated paths (a) from MC through both perceived physical competence and HRF to MVPA, and (b) from MVPA through both perceived physical competence and HRF to MC. Model 1 demonstrated an indirect path from MC through HRF to MVPA and a direct path from MC to perceived physical competence for both boys and girls. Additionally, model 1 revealed a direct path from perceived physical competence to MVPA for the girls and from MC to MVPA for the boys. MC, perceived physical competence, and HRF explained 13% of variance in MVPA for the girls and 25% for the boys. Model 2 indicated indirect paths from MVPA through perceived physical competence to MC and from MVPA through HRF to MC for both boys and girls. Additionally, a direct path from MVPA to MC was found in the boys’ group. MVPA, perceived physical competence, and HRF explained 48% of variance in MC for the girls and 53% for the boys. Results of this study provide preliminary support for the reciprocal nature of relationships among MC development, perceived physical competence, HRF and MVPA.

Child perceived motor competence as a moderator between physical activity parenting and child objectively measured physical activity
Laukkanen, Arto; Niemistö, Donna; Aunola, Kaisa; Barnett, Lisa M.; Sääkslahti, Arja (Elsevier BV, 2023)This longitudinal study aimed to examine how physical activity parenting (PAP) directly predicted objectively measured children’s moderate-to-vigorous physical activity (MVPA) and sedentariness over a three-year transitional ... -
Identifying childhood movement profiles and tracking physical activity and sedentary time across 1 year
Jaakkola, Timo; Yli-Piipari, Sami; Stodden, David F.; Huhtiniemi, Mikko; Salin, Kasper; Seppälä, Sanni; Hakonen, Harto; Gråstén, Arto (John Wiley & Sons, 2020)This study identified movement profiles in childhood and tracked longitudinal changes in moderate‐to‐vigorous physical activity and sedentary time across identified profiles. A sample consisted of 491 Finnish 5th Grade ... -
Development of Children’s Actual and Perceived Motor Competence, Cardiorespiratory Fitness, Physical Activity, and BMI
Kolunsarka, Iiris; Gråsten, Arto; Huhtiniemi, Mikko; Jaakkola, Timo (Lippincott Williams & Wilkins; American College of Sports Medicine, 2021)Purpose To examine synergistic associations between developmental trajectories of motor competence, perceived motor competence, cardiorespiratory fitness, moderate-to-vigorous physical activity (MVPA), and body mass index ... -
Development of accelerometer‐based light to vigorous physical activity in fitness profiles of school‐aged children
Gråstén, Arto; Huhtiniemi, Mikko; Hakonen, Harto; Jaakkola, Timo (Wiley-Blackwell, 2021)This study examined the developmental trajectories of light (LPA) and moderate-to-vigorous physical activity (MVPA) in fitness profiles derived from motor competence, perceived motor competence, health-related fitness, and ... -
Outdoor activities and motor development in 2–7-year-old boys and girls
Sääkslahti, Arja; Niemistö, Donna (Editura Universitatea din Pitești, 2021)Problem Statement: Parents of young children favor indoor activities for their children, because staying inside supports comfortable daily routines in the family timetable, safety issues and clothing. However, playing ...
