Abstract

This article gives an overview of the representative researches in the last 20 years, and analyzes the relationship between motor competence(MC) and physical activity(PA), and discusses the influences of age, gender, health and related fitness(HRF), perceptual competence, cultural background and geographical environment on the above-mentioned relationship. There is an interaction between MC and PA, the characteristics of MC of children with different ages, genders, HRF levels and perceptual competence, as well as its correlation with PA still needs to be further clarified. It is suggested that further studies focus on the moderating variables of the relationship between MC and PA, take the influence of cultural and geographical environment characteristics on the types and patterns of children's PA in to consideration, so as to improve the MC assessment tools. Furthermore, studies are warranted on how to design interventions that effectively enhance children's.

Key words
