The foundational nature of FMS means that they yield a broad-spectrum of associated benefits within childhood development -including being positively associated with health, whereby children with well-developed FMS are more likely to participate in physical activity and have a lower body mass index. This is concerning as FMS are–by definition-foundational motor skills that underpin the development of more complex movement patterns required for participation in physical activity (bodily movement produced by skeletal muscles requiring energy expenditure). The importance of fundamental movement skills (FMS) has been well established with regard to children’s development, but research reports a recent decline in the proficiency of children’s FMS.
