The Mediating Role of Physical Activity and Obesity in the Association Between Childhood Motor Function and Academic Achievement

  • Childhood motor function serves as a significant underlying factor for healthy development, making poor motor activity in early childhood a public health concern that can lead to negative developmental trajectories.
  • Lifestyle factors (such as excess sedentary behavior and an unhealthy diet) may influence both children's motor function and young people's academic achievement.
  • Overweight and obesity are linked to lower cognitive and academic achievement in school-aged children and adolescents.
