While specific motor abilities have become a popular explanation for motor performance, the older, alternate notion of a general motor ability should be revisited. Current theories lack consensus, and most motor assessment tools continue to derive a single composite score to represent motor capacity. In addition, results from elegant statistical procedures such as higher order factor analyses, cluster analyses, and Item Response Theory support a more global motor ability. We propose a contemporary model of general motor ability as a unidimensional construct that is emergent and fluid over an individual's lifespan, influenced by both biological and environmental factors. In this article, we address the implications of this model for theory, practice, assessment, and research. Based on our hypothesis and Item Response Theory, our Lifespan Motor Ability Scale can identify motor assessment tasks that are relevant and important across varied phases of lifespan development.
虽然特定运动能力已成为运动表现的一种流行解释，但应重新审视较古老的、关于一般运动能力的另一种概念。当前理论缺乏共识，并且大多数运动评估工具仍继续得出一个单一的综合分数来代表运动能力。此外，诸如高阶因子分析、聚类分析和项目反应理论等精妙统计程序的结果支持一种更整体的运动能力。我们提出一种当代的一般运动能力模型，它是一种单维结构，在个体的一生中是新兴且可变的，受生物和环境因素的影响。在本文中，我们阐述了该模型在理论、实践、评估和研究方面的意义。基于我们的假设和项目反应理论，我们的终身运动能力量表能够识别在寿命发展的不同阶段相关且重要的运动评估任务。
