Fundamental Movement Skills, Body Mass Index and Quality of Life in Children

August 19, 2023 updated by: Alaa Fahmy Hassan Al Nemr, Cairo University

Correlation Between Fundamental Movement Skills, Body Mass Index, and Quality of Life in School Aged Children

Early childhood obesity is a serious worldwide problem, and fundamental movement skills (FMS) are very important factors in human movement. Thus, several advanced studies have examined the associations between FMS, body mass index (BMI) and quality of life.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the relation between FMS, BMI and quality of life in Egyptian school aged children.

Detailed Description

A total of 216 primary school aged children, aged 5-7 y from both sex participated in this study. FMS were measured using the Test of Gross Motor Development-II (TGMD-II), and BMI was calculated as the weight (kg) divided by the square of the height (m) [weight/ height2] ,and quality of life was measured by PedsQol scale
