We hypothesized that there is a non-linear trajectory of motor competence across weight status categories (from underweight to obesity).\n                    <jats:bold>Purpose:<\/jats:bold>\n                    To check whether a non-liner relationship exists between motor competence and weight status in adolescents.\n                    <jats:bold>Research Design:<\/jats:bold>\n                    Cross-sectional study.\n                    <jats:bold>Study sample:<\/jats:bold>\n                    we assessed the motor competence of 310 participants (44.8% boys), aged 12\u201315\u00a0years.\n                    <jats:bold>Data Collection:<\/jats:bold>\n                    Motor competence was assessed the Korperkoordinationstest f\u00fcr Kinder (KTK). Weight status (underweight, normal weight, overweight and obesity) was determined using body mass index (BMI).\n                    <jats:bold>Results:<\/jats:bold>\n                    Motor competence was inversely associated with BMI in normal weight (rho = \u2212.222,\n                    <jats:italic toggle=\"yes\">p<\/jats:italic>\n                    = .001), overweight (rho = \u2212.309,\n                    <jats:italic toggle=\"yes\">p<\/jats:italic>\n                    = .028) and obesity (rho = \u2212.663,\n                    <jats:italic toggle=\"yes\">p<\/jats:italic>\n                    &lt; .001), but not in underweight (rho = .193,\n                    <jats:italic toggle=\"yes\">p<\/jats:italic>\n                    = .508). Adolescents with normal weight presented higher motor competence than those with overweight (mean difference = 17.198,\n                    <jats:italic toggle=\"yes\">p<\/jats:italic>\n                    = .001) and obesity (mean difference = 31.686,\n                    <jats:italic toggle=\"yes\">p<\/jats:italic>\n                    &lt; .001). There was no significant difference in motor competence between normal weight and underweight categories. In addition, boys showed a curvilinear trajectory of motor competence, being ascendant from underweight to normal weight and then downward with increasing BMI. Polynomial regressions, fitting a non-linear model, confirmed a non-linear relationship between motor competence and BMI in boys (B = \u22123.534,\n                    <jats:italic toggle=\"yes\">p<\/jats:italic>\n                    &lt; .001).\n                    <jats:bold>Conclusions:<\/jats:bold>\n                    Our findings suggest that the inverse relationship between motor competence and BMI does not occur in adolescents who are underweight.
