Validating The Speed And Agility Motor Screen (Sams) As A Motor Performance-Related Fitness Measure For Children, Nikki Milne, Wayne Hing

Dr Nikki Milne

This study aimed to assess the test-retest reliability and concurrent-validity of the Speed and Agility Motor Screen (SAMS) as a motor-performance-related fitness measure for children and determine if the SAMS could better predict poor motor-proficiency in overweight/obese children compared to the general paediatric population. The final aim was to establish if a SAMS cut-off time could be determined to identify children who may benefit from further investigation of their gross-motor skills.
