Funded Activity Summary

Helping children to be physically active is vital, because activity helps prevent various lifestyle diseases. Motor skill ability (the ability to catch, throw or jump) helps children to be more active. This fellowship aims to understand i) more about how children’s actual skill and also their ‘perceived’ skill relates to how active they are and ii) whether children who participate in motor skill programs are more likely to be active and skilled in the long term.
