The Relationship Between Motor Competence and Problem Behaviors Among Left-Behind Children:The Mediating Effect of Physical Activity and Sedentary Behavior
This study investigated the relationship between motor competence and problem behavior in left-behind children,as well as the mediating role of physical activity and sedentary behavior in such relationship.A total of 327 children participated in this study,including 149 left-behind children and 178 non-left-behind children.Data of motor competence,problem behaviors,physical activity,sedentary behavior were collected by using accelerometry,the Test of Gross Motor Development-2,and the Strengths and Difficulties Questionnaire.The results showed that:1)motor competence was significantly and negatively correlated with problem behavior in left-behind children;2)moderate to vigorous physical activity and sedentary behavior were identified as partial mediators in such relationship.To effectively tackle problem behaviors among left-behind children,interventions should emphasize the development of motor competence,which is crucial for promoting more physical activity and decreasing sedentary lifestyles.
