Low Competence and Developmental Motor Coordination Problems in Physical Education. [Baja competencia y problemas evolutivos de coordinación motriz en Educación Física].

Abstract

Currently there is no concern for clumsy children in physical education classes. Scientific and pedagogical literature do not show a great interest in children with motor coordination problems in Physical Education, this question is of more interest for physical and occupational therapists (Cairney, 2015). The seventies, eighties and nineties were decades were this interest were present in Physical Education (Arheim & Sinclair, 1976; Haubenstricker, 1980; Hoare, 1994; Larkin & Revie, 1994; Wall, 1980). At the present time these interests has beginning to increase (Edmonds, 2013; Gómez, Ruiz & Mata, 2006; Parker & Larkin, 2003; Ruiz, 200, Ruiz, Graupera y Gutiérrez, 2001; Ruiz, Graupera, Gutiérrez y Miyahara, 2003; Ruiz, Mata y Moreno, 2007; Ruiz, Ruiz y Linaza, 2016).
