- Values are means ± standard deviation and β-coefficients with 95% confidence intervals. Variables were analyzed using a multiple linear regression, adjusted for age and child care center (cluster).
-
a Basic Motor Score: Reference score for motor skills: sum of all 5 motor skills (running, climbing stairs, balancing on a beam, getting up, landing after jumping); Integral Motor Score: sum of 6 motor skills including the jumping on one leg skill Significant gender differences (*p < 0.05, **p < 0.01, ***p < 0.001).
- MVPA: moderate-and-vigorous physical activity; VPA: vigorous physical activity.
