Childhood o e weigh and obesi y ha e eme ged as significan global issues due

p ac ical me hod o iden i ying child en who a e o e weigh and obese, al hough
he BMI does no di ec ly measu e body a le els (Ma in-Cal o e al., 2016).
E idence shows a s ong longi udinal ela ionship be ween obesi y in childhood
and adul hood, s a ing in ea ly childhood (Rooney e al., 2011) wi h child en aged
8 yea s o younge (UNICEF, 2022). Thus, unde s anding he ac o s unde lying

E idence sugges s ha BMI may di e en ially a ec he mul iple FMS

while he ela ionship be ween BMI and OCSs, which a e mo e s a ic, emains

mina e because longi udinal esea ch is limi ed (Ba ne e al., 2021). The e o e,
mo e longi udinal s udies ocusing on hese skill domains a e needed.
FMS can be measu ed using di e en me ics and app oaches (Hul een e al.,
