Prevalence levels of overweight and obesity are rapidly increasing. To date, only a limited number of studies has investigated what effects excess body mass has on children’s motor skill performance. The present indications for an inverse relationship between motor skill and body weight are mainly restricted to gross motor skills, like postural balance and gait. The observed differences are primarily explained from a mechanical point of view, because excess body mass and the accompanying body geometry determine motor control and coordination. Since evidence is too limited and detailed information about fine motor skills is lacking, alternative explanations cannot be excluded at this time. In the present study, we wanted to examine if childh...
