In order to effectively promote physical activity (PA) during childhood, and across the lifespan, a better understanding of the role of early motor skill development on child and adult PA is needed.
Here, we propose a conceptual model delineating the hypothesized influence of motor skill development on child and adult PA, while providing an overview of the current empirical research related to this model.
There is consistent and emerging evidence showing that adequate motor skill competence, particularly locomotor and gross motor skills, is associated with increased PA levels during the preschool, child, and adolescent years, with early motor skill development also influencing enjoyment of PA as well as long-term PA and motor skill performance. The physical education setting appears to be a well-suited environment for motor skill development.
Employing appropriate strategies to target motor skill development across the childhood years is of paramount interest in helping shape children's PA behavior, their experiences related to PA, as well as maintain their PA.
为了在儿童期及整个生命周期中有效促进身体活动（PA），需要更好地理解早期运动技能发展对儿童及成人PA的作用。
在此，我们提出一个概念模型，描绘运动技能发展对儿童及成人PA的假定影响，同时概述与该模型相关的当前实证研究。
有一致且新出现的证据表明，足够的运动技能能力，特别是 locomotor（此处可能有误，推测可能是“移动”相关的意思，如locomotive）和粗大运动技能，与学龄前、儿童期和青少年期PA水平的提高相关，早期运动技能发展也影响对PA的喜爱程度以及长期的PA和运动技能表现。体育教育环境似乎是一个非常适合运动技能发展的环境。
采用适当策略针对儿童期的运动技能发展，对于帮助塑造儿童的PA行为、他们与PA相关的体验以及维持他们的PA至关重要。
