An examination of motor competence profiles in preschool children: A latent profile analysis

Description:

Identifying profiles of preschoolers’ motor competence (MC) is essential for providing accurate and targeted intervention. However, little is known regarding children’s MC profiles, more specifically how skills may present in unique clusters. The purposes of the study were to explore MC profiles of U.S. children ages 3–6 years, quantify the uniqueness of these profiles, and examine differences by age, gender, race, geographic region, socioeconomic status, and Body Mass Index z-scores.
