an observational cohort study

Barnett, L.M., Salmon, J., & Hesketh, K. (2016). More active pre-school children have better motor competence at school starting age: an observational cohort study. BMC Public Health

Physical activity is potentially an important determinant of the development of motor competence in children. This study is one of very few longitudinal studies in this area and the first to investigate early childhood physical activity as a predictor of subsequent motor skill competence.
