Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

Competence in Fundamental movement skills (FMS) is essential to enable children to be physical active. The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of integrated FMS skill training (balancing and stabilisation skills, locomotor skills \[e.g. run, hop, jump, crawl\] and object control / manipulation \[e.g. dribbling, rolling, striking, kicking and catching i.e. a ball\] with strength training on FMS performance in children.

Fundamental Movement Skill (FMS) Training

Exercise 2 x per week focusing on Fundamental Movement Skill Development

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

Exercise

Intervention Type OTHER

Intervention programmes were designed based on previous research (Duncan, et al., 2017; Faigenbaum, et al., 2011; Miller, et al., 2006) to ensure all exercises were developmentally appropriate for the age of the participants (an example session plan can be seen in the supplementary material). Each session consisted of five activities and lasted 50 - 60 minutes. Three out of the five activities were identical for the FMS and FMS+ groups, while two differed focusing on skill development for the FMS group and strength development for the FMS+ group. The FMS and FMS+ group received their sessions twice a week for 4 weeks. The sessions were delivered at least 48 hours apart to allow recovery and to reduce the risk of fatigue effecting performance (Faigenbaum, et al., 1996). All sessions were led by a researcher and a qualified sports coach.
