7-day Physical Activity And Self-efficacy Toward Physical Activity Of Children With Developmental Coordination Disorder

PURPOSE: To analyze the motor coordination and physical activity of school-aged children with and without developmental coordination disorder (DCD) in Taiwan. METHODS: Participants including 34 children without DCD and 20 children with DCD aged 9-11 years old, were examined by the Movement Assessment Battery for Children (MABC) test, and measured and recorded their total physical activities within 7-day by the RT3 accelerometer. Children's Self-Perception of Adequacy in and Predilection for Physical Activity Scale (CSAPPA scale) was used to measure the generalized self-efficacy toward physical activity of children. RESULTS: Children with DCD scored higher in MABC test than children without DCD (18.5 vs. 7.0, p
