Abstract This study aims to investigate the relationship between fundamental movement skills (FMS) and moderate-to-vigorous physical activity (MVPA) in children, with physical fitness (PF) and body mass index (BMI) as potential mediating factors. The sample included 1014 Portuguese children (540 girls) aged 6–10 years from the REACT project. MVPA was measured using wrist-worn accelerometers over 7 days. BMI z-scores were calculated.

ABSTRACT Accelerometry-based physical activity monitoring can complement information obtained via patient-reported outcome measures (PROMs) by permitting objective, free-living measurements of mobility. The purpose of this study was to examine the relationship between the Prosthetic Limb User’s Survey of Mobility (PLUS-M) PROM and accelerometer-measured steps and to develop and validate an equation for predicting steps.

While the primary outcome, daily MVPA, did not show significant changes over time within each condition, the hypothesis received partial support from the post-hoc exploratory analysis. The [Narrative + AVG] group demonstrated more daily MVPA than the [Waitlist Control] group in the first half of the RCT. Interestingly, the [AVG Only] condition experienced less lean mass gain and lower HDL cholesterol levels compared to the [Waitlist Control] in the first half of the intervention.
