Fundamental Motor Skills
• FMS are critical to healthy
development in children
• FMS do not naturally
develop
• Correlates of FMS include
age and sex
Stodden et al., 2008
Robinson et al., 2015
Purpose of this study
Explore the relationship between actual motor competence (using the latest version of the
TGMD) and perceived motor competence (using the corresponding PMSC) in early childhood.

Older
Preliminary Findings• No overall sex differences in performance
– Perception/ performance - Skip
• Older children out performed younger children in TGMD
– Perception of performance on select ball skills for older children higher (Dribble, Catch, Overhand and Underhand throw)
– Actually better (Two hand strike, Catch, Overhand throw)
Preliminary Findings
• Correlations between Actual and Perceived Motor Competence totals and subscales vary by age group
– No impact on middle childhood performance
– Perceived competence had small impact on younger children’s locomotor performance
• Higher SES?
• Weight status?
Future Directions
• Adding a PA component
• Is perceived competence more salient in different populations?
• Other psychological constructs that may relate to performance, specifically FMS?
• Specificity in interventions/ training
• Expand sample size/ more diverse group
