Abstract

Poor motor skills may be associated with the incidence of problems with mental health, especially with regard to social, behavioral, and emotional outcomes. The aim of the current study was to analyze the association of emotional and behavioral problems with motor skills in students aged 7 to 10 years. For this, 339 children (187 girls and 152 boys) were evaluated. The variables were measured using the Movement Assessment Battery for Children, 2nd ed. (MABC-2) and the Strengths and Difficulties Questionnaire (SDQ). The results indicated that children with poor motor skills were more likely to present abnormal development in terms of emotional and behavioral problems when compared to children from the reference group. Thus, empirical data such as these can assist in raising public and professional awareness, considering the social and psychological consequences of poor motor skills, in addition to the individual costs arising from mental health problems. RESUMO A baixa competência motora pode estar associada a incidência de problemas com a saúde mental, principalmente no que diz respeito a desfechos sociais, comportamentais e emocionais. O objetivo deste estudo foi analisar a associação dos sintomas emocionais e comportamentais com competência motora em escolares de 7 a 10 anos. Para isso, foram avaliadas 439 crianças (242 meninas e 197 meninos). As variáveis foram mensuradas com o Movement Assessment Battery for Children, 2nd ed. (MABC-2) e Strengths and Difficulties Questionnaire (SDQ). Os resultados indicaram que crianças com baixa competência motora tiveram mais chances de terem desenvolvimento anormal no que se refere aos sintomas emocionais e comportamentais, quando comparada às crianças do grupo referência. Dessa forma, dados empíricos como estes podem auxiliar na conscientização pública e profissional, tendo em vista as consequências sociais e psicológicas da baixa competência motora, além dos custos individuais advindos dos problemas de saúde mental.
