Body composition was measured by body mass index and skinfold thickness. Motor proficiency was evaluated through the Bruininks\u2010Oseretsky Test of Motor Proficiency\u2010Short Form, which included measures of gross motor skills and fine motor skills.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Results<\/jats:title><jats:p>Significant associations were found for both sexes between the percentage of body fat and (i) the performance in each gross motor task, (ii) the composite score for gross motor skills and (iii) the motor proficiency score. The percentage of body fat was not significantly associated with the majority of the fine motor skills items and with the respective composite score. Considering body weigh categories, children with normal weight had significantly higher scores than their peers with overweight or with obesity in gross motor skills and in overall motor proficiency.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title><jats:p>Children's motor proficiency is negatively associated with body fat, and normal weight children show better motor competence than those who are overweight or obese. The negative impact of excessive body weight is stronger for gross motor skills that involve dynamic body movements than for stationary object control skills; fine motor skills appear to be relatively independent of the constraints imposed by excessive body weight.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1111\/jpc.13446","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2017,1,3]],"date-time":"2017-01-03T11:37:20Z","timestamp":1483443440000},"page":"348-353","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1002\/crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":32,"title":["Relationship between motor proficiency and body composition in 6\u2010 to 10\u2010year\u2010old children"],"prefix":"10.1111","volume":"53","author":[{"given":"Jos\u00e9","family":"Marmeleira","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Sport and Health School of Sciences and Technology  University of \u00c9vora, \u00c9vora Portugal"},{"name":"Research Centre in Sports Sciences Health Sciences and Human Development  CIDESD, Vila Real Portugal"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Guida","family":"Veiga","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Sport and Health School of Sciences and Technology  University of \u00c9vora, \u00c9vora Portugal"},{"name":"Research Centre in Sports Sciences Health Sciences and Human Development  CIDESD, Vila Real Portugal"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Hugo","family":"Cansado","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Sport and Health School of Sciences and Technology  University of \u00c9vora, \u00c9vora Portugal"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Armando","family":"Raimundo","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Sport and Health School of Sciences and Technology  University of \u00c9vora, \u00c9vora Portugal"},{"name":"Research Centre in Sports Sciences Health Sciences and Human Development  CIDESD, Vila Real Portugal"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"311","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2017,1,3]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_2_9_2_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1038\/sj.ijo.0802428"},{"key":"e_1_2_9_3_1","first-page":"1","article-title":"Childhood obesity: A global public health crisis","volume":"3","author":"Karnik S","year":"2012","journal-title":"Int.
