Yet, the prevalence of adolescent overweight\/obesity is high, and it is unknown whether low levels of motor competence are a risk factor. The purpose of this study was to assess whether adolescents with low motor competence are at increased risk of overweight\/obesity.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Methods:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>A total of 142 adolescents (47.2% boys) aged 12\u201314 years were recruited from Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. Motor competence level was assessed using the K\u00f6rperkoordinationtest fur kinder (KTK) and classified in two categories: \u201clow\u201d and \u201cadequate.\u201d BMI measures were used to classify weight status as \u201chealthy\u201d or \u201coverweight\/obese.\u201d The correlation between motor competence level and BMI was tested.

This is a concern given the high prevalence of low motor competence in youth worldwide. However, our cross-sectional design does not allow the determination of causal mechanisms. Regardless, we reinforce the recommendation that young people should establish behavioral patterns favorable to adolescent health, including adequate levels of motor competence.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1089\/chi.2020.0344","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2021,4,23]],"date-time":"2021-04-23T12:30:41Z","timestamp":1619181041000},"page":"322-328","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1177\/sage-journals-update-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":4,"title":["Do Adolescents with Low Motor Competence Have Increased Risk for Overweight and Obesity?"],"prefix":"10.1177","volume":"17","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-4163-1357","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Daniel","family":"das Virgens Chagas","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Institute of Physical Education and Sports, Rio de Janeiro State University, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil."}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Amanda","family":"Coutinho","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Institute of Physical Education and Sports, Rio de Janeiro State University, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil."}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Maria Carolina","family":"Joia","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Institute of Physical Education and Sports, Rio de Janeiro State University, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil."}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Blena","family":"Marinho","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Institute of Physical Education and Sports, Rio de Janeiro State University, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil."}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Matheus","family":"Ribeiro","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Institute of Physical Education and Sports, Rio de Janeiro State University, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil."}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Catharina","family":"Michel","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Institute of Physical Education and Sports, Rio de Janeiro State University, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil."}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"179","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2021,6,16]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_3_3_2_2","unstructured":"World Health Organization.
