Abstract

Motor competence (MC) is the cornerstone of promoting children's physical activity and enhancing their physical fitness. MC plays an important role in the development of children's special sports skills in the future and the cultivation of lifelong sports thoughts. Studies have shown that obesity is correlated with MC of children. The gross and fine motor skills,balance and coordination of obese children were significantly lower than those of their peers with healthy weight. However,in the process of children's motor development,the diversity of influencing factors and individual differences in neural development lead to the complexity of the relationship between obesity and MC. This paper will focus on the relationship between obesity and MC,and discuss the possible mechanism of obesity affecting children's MC,aiming to better guide the MC promotion and weight prevention and control of obese children through the in-depth understanding of the relationship between the two.
