Physical activity （PA） is an effective means of curbing the prevalence of child obesity, and fundamental skills are hypothesized to be an important factor that determines phys- ically active or inactive behavior in children.1 Research evidence suggests that adolescents and young adults with proficient motor skills in sport-related activities are more likely to have a physically active lifestyle.~ Because physically active lifestyles start at a young age and track into adulthood,2 the question arises： how young should we start to teach motor skills to children to foster physically active behavior？ Built on previous research work, the study by Robinson et al.3 inves- tigated the predictive power of motor skill competence and perceived physical competence for school day PA in pre- school children.
