, McGrane, Powell, & O’Brien, 2019 ). Adolescents who have not mastered fundamental movement skills (FMS) are noticeably less likely to engage in PA or sports consequently ( Cohen, Morgan, Plotnikoff, Barnett, & Lubans, 2015 ; Stodden et al., 2008 ). Fundamental movement skills are the building blocks for

Development models of youth sports are often criticized due to a lack of emphasis on generalized fundamental movement skills (FMS; Bridge & Toms, 2013 ; DiStefano et al., 2017 ; Liefeith et al., 2018 ). Furthermore, FMS are considered foundational for the development of sports-specific skills

Elementary physical education (PE) serves as the foundation to develop fundamental movement skills (FMS) ( Holt-Hale & Persse, 2015 ). The acquisition of a solid base of FMS has multiple benefits for health ( Lubans, Morgan, Cliff, Barnett, & Okely, 2010 ). Actual motor competence is defined in

Perceived movement skill competence refers to a child’s perceptions about her/his ability to execute movement skills ( Raudsepp & Liblik, 2002 ). Research over the past decade has suggested that actual and perceived movement skill competence are both important contributing mechanisms to the health

Regular participation levels in physical activity (PA) are low among the adolescent population globally, particularly among adolescent girls ( Hallal et al., 2012 ). Fundamental movement skill (FMS) mastery is an important correlate of PA behavior ( Babic et al., 2014 ; Holfelder & Schott, 2014

Fundamental movement skills (FMS), which include object control and locomotor skills, are referred to as foundational “building-block movements” and are proposed to provide a crucial underpinning to the development of more complex movement patterns ( Gallahue et al., 2012 ). Object control skills

Fundamental movement skills (FMS) are basic observable patterns of movement; these include running, jumping, hopping, throwing, catching, and striking, among others ( Gallahue & Ozmun, 2006 ). FMS are regarded as the building blocks upon which more complex, sport specific movements are based, and

Fundamental movement skills (FMS) are basic skills that are used in everyday life, and as such the mastery of these skills among children and adolescents is an important contributor to future participation in sports and physical activity (PA; Williams et al., 2008 ). Children should achieve FMS
