The objective of this study is to analyze the association between combinations of adherence to movement behaviour recommendations and fundamental movement skills (FMS) in preschoolers. This is a cross-sectional study. Participants of the study were 212 preschool children (M = 3.97 years old; 51.4% male), who provided objectively assessed physical activity (PA) data (Actigraph wGT3X), and completed FMS assessments (TGMD-2). Sleep time and screen time were parent-reported through face-to-face interview. Associations between the combination of two or three movement behaviours and FMS were analyzed using structural equation modeling (Mplus; 8.0; p < 0.05). Positive and significant associations were found between adherence to screen + sleep recommendations and locomotor skills (β = 0.23; p = 0.027); and between adherence to PA + screen + sleep recommendations with object control skills (β = 0.28; p = 0.014). Negative and significant associations were found between screen + sleep with object control skills (β = - 0.28; p = 0.007). The adherence to the 24-h movement behaviour recommendations explained locomotor and object control skills variability by 5% and 7%, respectively.Conclusion: The adherence to the combined movement behaviour recommendations may be a more important influence on FMS in preschoolers compared to any single movement behaviour in isolation. What is Known: • The association between the isolated adherence to movement behaviour (physical activity, screen time and sleep time) recommendations and fundamental movement skills (FMS) in preschoolers, and the role of the 24-h movement behaviours on FMS, has been previously reported. What is New: • This study adds important information to the current literature, when highlighting that the combined adherence to physical activity, screen time and sleep time recommendations is positively associated with object control skills (such as throwing and kicking), and the combination of screen time and sleep is positively associated with locomotor skills (such as running and hopping).
本研究旨在分析学龄前儿童遵守运动行为建议与基本运动技能（FMS）之间的关联。这是一项横断面研究。研究对象为 212 名学龄前儿童（M=3.97 岁，51.4%为男性），他们提供了客观评估的体力活动（PA）数据（Actigraph wGT3X），并完成了 FMS 评估（TGMD-2）。睡眠和屏幕时间由家长通过面对面访谈进行报告。使用结构方程模型（Mplus；8.0；p<0.05）分析了两种或三种运动行为组合与 FMS 之间的关联。发现遵守屏幕+睡眠建议与移动技能（β=0.23；p=0.027）以及遵守 PA+屏幕+睡眠建议与物体控制技能（β=0.28；p=0.014）之间存在正显著关联。发现屏幕+睡眠与物体控制技能之间存在负显著关联（β=-0.28；p=0.007）。遵守 24 小时运动行为建议可以分别解释移动和物体控制技能的 5%和 7%的变异性。结论：与单独遵守运动行为（体力活动、屏幕时间和睡眠时间）建议相比，遵守综合运动行为建议对学龄前儿童的 FMS 可能具有更重要的影响。已知内容：• 之前已经报道了孤立地遵守运动行为（体力活动、屏幕时间和睡眠时间）建议与学龄前儿童基本运动技能（FMS）之间的关联，以及 24 小时运动行为对 FMS 的作用。新内容：• 本研究通过强调遵守体力活动、屏幕时间和睡眠时间建议的综合组合与物体控制技能（如投掷和踢球）呈正相关，以及屏幕时间和睡眠时间的组合与移动技能（如跑步和跳跃）呈正相关，为当前文献增添了重要信息。
