The promotion of motor competence is integral to a holistic view of children's development. Motor development models address the potential role of actual and perceived motor competence, physical activity and health-related fitness in children's health. Actual motor competence and optimal levels of perceived motor competence seem to be key for engaging children and adolescents in physical activity and sports. Commonly, the assessment of perceived motor competence is carried out by using instruments originally developed to assess different constructs of physical self-perception with the consequent error assumed. The aim of this article is to therefore offer clarification regarding the concept of perceived motor competence in terms of the conceptual and theoretical framework used for its explanation. A hierarchical and multidimensional structure of global self-concept is proposed with perceived motor competence considered as a subdomain of perceived sport/athletic competence (depending on the age or stage of development of the child) and subdivided into different subdomains of perceived competence in stability, locomotion, object control and active play skills. In order to improve consistency in the approach to assessment, it is desirable that researchers report an agreed definition for the construct of perceived motor competence so that readers can recognise the assumptions within the study accurately. Furthermore, it is suggested that instruments characterised by an alignment between actual and perceived motor competence assessments will help us understand more about children's motor perceptions.
运动能力的提升是儿童全面发展观的重要组成部分。运动发展模型探讨了实际运动能力和感知运动能力、身体活动和与健康相关的体能在儿童健康中的潜在作用。实际运动能力和感知运动能力的最佳水平似乎是让儿童和青少年参与身体活动和运动的关键。通常，感知运动能力的评估是通过使用最初为评估身体自我感知的不同结构而开发的工具来进行的，因此存在一定的误差。本文的目的是澄清感知运动能力的概念，从用于解释感知运动能力的概念和理论框架的角度进行澄清。提出了一个全球自我概念的分层和多维结构，将感知运动能力视为感知运动/运动能力（取决于儿童的年龄或发展阶段）的一个子领域，并细分为稳定性、运动、物体控制和主动游戏技能等不同的感知能力子领域。为了提高评估方法的一致性，研究人员最好报告感知运动能力结构的一致定义，以便读者能够准确识别研究中的假设。此外，建议使用实际运动能力和感知运动能力评估之间具有一致性的工具，这将有助于我们更深入地了解儿童的运动感知。
