The study aims to investigate how sex, age, and classroom context influence motor competence in children.
Assessed motor competence in 312 Greek children aged 6-12 using the Movement Assessment Battery for Children–Second Edition.
Analyzed standard scores for various motor skills through a multilevel modeling approach.
Balance had the highest standard scores, while manual dexterity was the lowest.
Boys performed better than girls in aiming-catching with a modest effect noted.
Class-level factors accounted for significant variance in motor competence, indicating variability across classes.
