Abstract

ObjectiveWhile novel analytical methods have been used to examine movement behaviours, to date, no studies have examined whether a frequency-based measure, such a spectral purity, is useful in explaining key facets of human movement. The aim of this study was to investigate movement and gait quality...

Measures included accelerometer-derived physical activity and movement quality (spectral purity), motor competence (Movement Assessment Battery for Children 2nd edition; MABC2), height, weight and waist circumference. All data were subjected to a principal component analysis, and the internal consistency of resultant components were assessed using Cronbach's alpha.ResultsTwo principal components, with excellent internal consistency (Cronbach &#x3B1; &gt;0.9) were found; the 1st principal component, termed &#x201C;movement component&#x201D;, contained spectral purity, traffic light MABC2 score, fine motor% and gross motor% (&#x3B1;&#x202F;=&#x202F;0.93); the 2nd principal component, termed &#x201C;anthropometric component&#x201D;, contained weight, BMI, BMI% and body fat% (&#x3B1;&#x202F;=&#x202F;0.91).ConclusionThe results of the present study demonstrate that accelerometric analyses can be used to assess motor competence in an automated manner, and that spectral purity is a meaningful, indicative, metric related to children's movement quality.</abstract><type>Journal Article</type><journal>Human Movement Science</journal><volume>68</volume><paginationStart>102523</paginationStart><publisher>Elsevier BV</publisher><issnPrint>0167-9457</issnPrint><keywords/><publishedDay>31</publishedDay><publishedMonth>12</publishedMonth><publishedYear>2019</publishedYear><publishedDate>2019-12-31</publishedDate><doi>10.1016/j.humov.2019.102523</doi><url>http://dx.doi.org/10.1016/j.humov.2019.102523</url><notes/><college>COLLEGE NANME</college><department>Biomedical Engineering</department><CollegeCode>COLLEGE CODE</CollegeCode><DepartmentCode>MEDE</DepartmentCode><institution>Swansea University</institution><apcterm/><lastEdited>2019-10-08T18:23:48.6088373</lastEdited><Created>2019-09-24T11:56:36.8700980</Created><authors><author><firstname>Cain C.T.</firstname><surname>Clark</surname><order>1</order></author><author><firstname>Claire</firstname><surname>Barnes</surname><orcid>0000-0003-1031-7127</orcid><order>2</order></author><author><firstname>Michael J.</firstname><surname>Duncan</surname><order>3</order></author><author><firstname>Huw</firstname><surname>Summers</surname><orcid>0000-0002-0898-5612</orcid><order>4</order></author><author><firstname>Gareth</firstname><surname>Stratton</surname><orcid>0000-0001-5618-0803</orcid><order>5</order></author></authors><documents><document><filename>52054__15492__914875f1af074ce189c8b2a340d9425a.pdf</filename><originalFilename>clark2019.pdf</originalFilename><uploaded>2019-10-07T11:54:31.0870000</uploaded><type>Output</type><contentLength>869919</contentLength><contentType>application/pdf</contentType><version>Accepted Manuscript</version><cronfaStatus>true</cronfaStatus><embargoDate>2021-05-01T00:00:00.0000000</embargoDate><documentNotes>Released under the terms of a Creative Commons Attribution Non-Commercial No Derivatives License (CC-BY-NC-ND).</documentNotes><copyrightCorrect>true</copyrightCorrect><language>eng</language></document></documents><OutputDurs/></rfc1807>
