, & Nobre, 2018 ; Valentini et al., 2016 ). The consequence of a low-proficiency scenario regarding fundamental motor skills is having children who have difficulties related to learning motor tasks, a lack of physical fitness, and little motivation to develop an active and healthy lifestyle ( Barnett

Fundamental motor skills (FMS) are considered the “ABCs” of movement and physical activity ( Payne & Isaacs, 2016 ). Well-developed FMS have been related to higher levels of physical activity and cardiorespiratory fitness, a healthy weight status and improved cognitive, and social development
Boys and Girls Have Similar Gains in Fundamental Motor Skills Across a Preschool Motor Skill Intervention

Fundamental motor skills (FMS) are goal-directed, voluntary movements that develop into more advanced or sport-specific movements ( Clark & Metcalfe, 2002 ). FMS develop in childhood (3–7 years of age) and form the foundation for more context-specific skills later in life ( Clark & Metcalfe, 2002

Fundamental motor skills (FMS), typically classified as locomotor (e.g., run, hop, and jump) and ball skills (e.g., throw, catch, and kick), are also known as the “building blocks” for more advanced movement patterns, physical activity participation, and sports and games ( Clark & Metcalfe, 2002

In early childhood, fundamental motor skills (FMSs), operationally defined as the basis of more complex movements required to participate in sports, games or other context-specific physical activity (PA; Logan et al., 2018 ), develop as a function of physical maturation, instruction and practice

; Liu, 2012 ; Ruggeri et al., 2020 ). Fundamental motor skills are movement patterns (e.g., running, jumping, throwing, catching) that act as the building blocks for more advanced movements and sport-specific skills ( Clark & Metcalfe, 2002 ; Robinson & Goodway, 2009 ; Seefeldt, 1980 ). Therefore, a
