Abstract:
A person-centred approach was used to examine whether children with various actual and perceived motor competence (AMC and PMC) profiles differ in (enjoyment of) physical fitness (PF). The strength of the relationship between AMC and PMC was also assessed through aligned assessment tools. A sample of 287 7-11-year-old children (47.40% boys, Mage = 8.92 ± .78 years) was assessed on AMC with the KörperkoordinationsTest für Kinder (KTK3), and on PF with six validated fitness tests. Animated videos fully aligned with the AMC- and PF-tests were used to assess children\'s PMC and enjoyment of PF, respectively. Cluster analyses identified one convergent (i.e. high AMC-high PMC) and three partially convergent AMC-PMC profiles (i.e. low AMC-high PMC). Furthermore, children with relatively high AMC (i.e. high-average profile) reported higher PF (F = 30.99, p < .001), while children with relatively high PMC (i.e. average-high profile) reported higher enjoyment of PF (F = 9.02, p < .001). The correlation between AMC and PMC was significant but weak (r = .16). Overall, it seems important to invest in both children\'s AMC and PMC as they may support a higher (enjoyment of) PF, potentially leading to higher PA-levels.
When it comes to physical fitness, actual motor competence rather than perceived motor competence seemed to play the biggest role. As extra high perceived motor competence did not add additional benefits in terms of physical fitness, there might have been a ceiling effect of perceived motor competence.When looking at enjoyment of physical fitness, perceived motor competence seemed to be a more important factor than actual motor competence. However, profile analyses revealed that a relatively high perceived motor competence score may not fully compensate the loss of enjoyment in physical fitness when children’s actual motor competence is relatively low.
摘要:
使用以人为本的方法来检查具有各种实际和感知的运动能力(AMC和PMC)特征的儿童在(享受)身体素质(PF)方面是否存在差异。AMC和PMC之间的关系的强度也通过一致的评估工具进行评估。对287名7-11岁儿童(47.40%的男孩,Mage=8.92±.78岁)在AMC上使用KörperkoordinationsTestfürKinder(KTK3)进行评估,并在PF上进行了六个验证的适应度测试。与AMC和PF测试完全一致的动画视频用于评估儿童的PMC和PF的享受,分别。聚类分析确定了一个会聚的(即高AMC-高PMC)和三个部分会聚的AMC-PMC谱(即低AMC-高PMC)。此外,AMC相对较高(即平均概况较高)的儿童报告PF较高(F=30.99,p<.001),而PMC相对较高(即平均高知名度)的儿童报告对PF的享受较高(F=9.02,p<.001)。AMC和PMC之间的相关性显着,但较弱(r=0.16)。总的来说,投资于儿童的AMC和PMC似乎很重要,因为他们可能支持更高的(享受)PF,可能导致更高的PA水平。
说到健身,实际的运动能力而不是感知的运动能力似乎发挥了最大的作用。由于额外的高感知运动能力并没有在身体健康方面增加额外的好处,运动能力的感知可能存在天花板效应。当看到享受身体健康时,感知运动能力似乎是比实际运动能力更重要的因素。然而,轮廓分析显示,当儿童的实际运动能力相对较低时,相对较高的运动能力得分可能无法完全弥补身体健康的乐趣。
