One of the cornerstones of a physically active lifestyle is Motor Competence (MC). MC is a complex biocultural attribute and therefore, its study requires a multi-sectoral, multi-, inter- and transdisciplinary approach. MC is a growing area of research, especially in children and adolescents due to its positive association with a plethora of health and developmental outcomes. Many questions, however, remain to be answered in this field of research, with regard to: (i) Health and Developmental-related Associations of MC; (ii) Assessment of MC; (iii) Prevalence and Trends of MC; (iv) Correlates and Determinants of MC; (v) MC Interventions, and (vi) Translating MC Research into Practice and Policy. This paper presents a narrative review of the literature, summarizing current knowledge, identifying key research gaps and presenting questions for future investigation on MC in children and adolescents. This is a collaborative effort from the International Motor Competence Network (IMCNetwork) a network of academics and researchers aiming to promote international collaborative research and knowledge translation in the expansive field of MC. The knowledge and deliverables generated by addressing and answering the aforementioned research questions on MC presented in this review have the potential to shape the ways in which researchers and practitioners promote MC and physical activity in children and adolescents across the world.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/ijerph18010018","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2020,12,22]],"date-time":"2020-12-22T12:42:28Z","timestamp":1608640948000},"page":"18","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":131,"title":["A Narrative Review of Motor Competence in Children and Adolescents: What We Know and What We Need to Find Out"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"18","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-6680-0893","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Lu\u00eds","family":"Lopes","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Research Centre in Physical Activity, Health and Leisure, Faculty of Sport, University of Porto, 4200-450 Porto, Portugal"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-7604-5753","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Rute","family":"Santos","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Research Centre in Physical Activity, Health and Leisure, Faculty of Sport, University of Porto, 4200-450 Porto, Portugal"},{"name":"National Program for Physical Activity Promotion\u2014Portuguese Directorate-General of Health, Portuguese Ministry of Health, 1049-005 Lisbon, Portugal"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-4512-7331","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Manuel","family":"Coelho-e-Silva","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Faculty of Sport Sciences and Physical Education, University of Coimbra, Est\u00e1dio Universit\u00e1rio de Coimbra, 3040-248 Coimbra, Portugal"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-2885-437X","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Catherine","family":"Draper","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"South African Medical Research Council\/Wits Developmental Pathways for Health Research Unit, University of the Witwatersrand, Chris Hani Baragwanath Hospital, Chris Hani Road, Soweto, 2050 Johannesburg, South Africa"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-7571-9181","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Jorge","family":"Mota","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Research Centre in Physical Activity, Health and Leisure, Faculty of Sport, University of Porto, 4200-450 Porto, Portugal"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-7535-8993","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Boris","family":"Jidovtseff","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Sport and Rehabilitation Sciences, Research Unit on Childhood, University of Li\u00e8ge, All\u00e9e des sports 2, 4000 Li\u00e8ge, Belgium"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-6610-4617","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Cain","family":"Clark","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Centre for Sport, Exercise and Life Sciences, Coventry University, Coventry CV1 5FB, UK"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-4859-6547","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Mirko","family":"Schmidt","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Institute of Sport Science, University of Bern, Bremgartenstrasse 145, 3012 Bern, Switzerland"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-5632-8529","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Philip","family":"Morgan","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Priority Research Centre for Physical Activity &amp;
