A Mediation Analysis of the Association between Fundamental Motor Skills and Physical Activity during Middle Childhood

This article investigates the associations between fundamental motor skills (FMS), health-related fitness (HRF) and physical activity (PA) during middle childhood and examines whether HRF serves as a mediator in these pathways. The behavioral mechanism (e.g., maintaining appropriate levels of HRF) provides meaningful insights to understand the obesity trajectory during middle childhood.
