目的：横断面证据表明运动技能熟练程度对参与体力活动的重要性，但技能熟练程度是否能预测随后的身体活动尚不清楚。方法：在2000年的一次学校干预中，评估了儿童在物体控制(踢、接球、投掷)和运动(跳跃、侧跃、垂直跳跃)技能方面的熟练程度。2006/07年度，使用澳大利亚体力活动回忆问卷对前参与者的体力活动进行了评估。线性回归研究了青少年参加中等强度或有组织的体育活动的报告时间与他们童年时的技能熟练程度之间的关系，并控制了性别和学校年级。结果：在481名原始调查对象中，297人(62%)表示同意，276人(57%)接受调查。所有人都在上中学，女性占52%(144人)。青春期在中等强度和有组织的活动中的时间与儿童的物体控制熟练程度呈正相关。各自的模型分别解释了12.7%(p=.001)和18.2%的差异(p=.003)。熟练掌握客体控制的儿童进入青春期后，积极活动参与的机会增加10%~20%。结论：熟练掌握客体控制的儿童更容易成为活跃的青少年。在旨在促进长期体力活动的儿童干预中，运动技能发展应是一项关键战略。(C)2009年青少年医学会。版权所有。
Purpose: Cross-sectional evidence has demonstrated the importance of motor skill proficiency to physical activity participation, but it is unknown whether skill proficiency predicts subsequent physical activity.Methods: In 2000, children's proficiency in object control (kick, catch, throw) and locomotor (hop, side gallop, vertical jump) skills were assessed in a school intervention. In 2006/07, the physical activity of former participants was assessed using the Australian Physical Activity Recall Questionnaire. Linear regressions examined relationships between the reported time adolescents spent participating in moderate-to-vigorous or organized physical activity and their childhood skill proficiency, controlling for gender and school grade. A logistic regression examined the probability of participating in vigorous activity.Results: Of 481 original participants located, 297 (62%) consented and 276 (57%) were surveyed. All were in secondary school with females comprising 52% (144). Adolescent time in moderate-to-vigorous and organized activity was positively associated with childhood object control proficiency. Respective models accounted for 12.7% (p = .001), and 18.2% of the variation (p = .003). Object control proficient children became adolescents with a 10% to 20% higher chance of vigorous activity participation.Conclusions: Object control proficient children were more likely to become active adolescents. Motor skill development should be a key strategy in childhood interventions aiming to promote long-term physical activity. (C) 2009 Society for Adolescent Medicine. All rights reserved.
