ObjectivesThis article proposes a specific program of sequences of combinations of movements (SCM) based on motor development stages (MDS) to optimize the sports performance of elite professional athletes (EPAs).DesignNa...

Abstract Objective Construct validity for the Motor Development Scale (MDS) has not been established. The aim of this study was to examine whether the unidimensional model of MDS would be appropriate for children aged ...

Background: The Test of Gross Motor Development-3 (TGMD-3 2019) evaluates fundamental gross motor skills across two domains: locomotor and ball skills. Objectives: The purpose of this study was to determine the test–...

Slovenia is a pioneer in the systematic monitoring of physical fitness in children and adolescents. In 1969, a national system for monitoring physical and somatic development, called the Sports Educational Chart, was dev...

Background: Despite the growing use of gymnastics programmes in early childhood education, most studies emphasise implementation and outcomes rather than the systematic development and rigorous validation of programme co...

Abstract This paper describes the application of the method of separation of variables and the use of Fourier series for solving the Laplace's and Poisson's equations on the study and analysis of the magnetic field produ...

The aim of the national study was to assess the development of motor functions in the population of the Czech children. A Czech representative sample of 7–15-year-old children (n = 1076) was assessed on fine manual coo...

BackgroundDevelopmental Coordination Disorder (DCD) affects approximately 5–6% of school-aged children and is characterized by significant motor skill impairments that may persist into adulthood without intervention. A...

Background: Students with quadriplegia often encounter significant barriers to participation in physical education due to limited mobility and the lack of structured adaptive learning models. Despite the potential of boc...

To address the need for a standardized system to classify the gross motor function of children with cerebral palsy, the authors developed a five-level classification system analogous to the staging and grading systems us...

Abstract Background The holistic health of children, encompassing physical, psychological, and social domains, plays a crucial role in long-term societal development. However, evidence suggests that many young people eng...

Background: Motor competence is a key component of physical education, integrating motor skill proficiency and game understanding. However, instructional approaches often separate technical skill development from its con...

Background and Study Aim. Physical education traditionally focuses on the development of motor skills as a core educational objective. At the same time, physical education lessons may also contribute to the development o...

Objective This follow-up study examined changes in motor performance over 6 months among preschool children in Tyrol, Austria, initially screened for motor difficulties suggestive of developmental coordination disorder. ...

A inserção das crianças de zero a 18 meses em creches poderá estimular o seu desenvolvimento motor e perceptocognitivo, podendo essa fase ser considerada a primeira da educação inclusiva. Objetivou-se verificar as ...

El objetivo de esta línea de investigación, es incluir el área de la inteligencia sensoriomotriz en la evaluación del desarrollo psicomotor de niños menores de 2 años. Dado que no existía en nuestro país un i...

This study of assessment of learning outcomes in physical education classes including a “Whole Active School Approach” (WASA) is a part of the Erasmus+ EuPEO project in Germany. 19 German PE teachers at n = 13 differ...

Abstract Child development is complex and includes multiple domains, such as cognition, communication and language, motor skills, socialization, and emotional development. The objective of this paper was to present the d...

Despite its robustness the Switched Reluctance Motors (SRMs) present some inconvenient drawbacks as a major torque ripple, vibration and acoustic noise when compared to other types of motors. These characteristics are us...
