| Description | This cluster of papers explores the developmental perspective on motor skill competence, focusing on the interrelation of motor development and cognitive development, the impact of motor competence on physical activity and health trajectories, and the psychosocial implications of poor motor coordination in children and adolescents. It also delves into the assessment, diagnosis, and interventions for developmental coordination disorder, as well as the relationship between fundamental movement skills, physical literacy, and overall well-being. |
