Modelling changes in gross motor coordination of portuguese children: effects of BMI and physical activity
| Resumo: | Adequate levels of gross motor coordination (GMC) are relevant for children to express their motor and cognitive skills. Longitudinal data concerning the influence of BMI and physical activity in GMC is scarce. Purposes: (1) to model annual changes in GMC of children, and (2 ) to evaluate the importance of time varying predictors: body mass index (BMI) and physical activity levels (PA). |
