Weight status and gender-related differences in motor skills and in child care - based physical activity in young children [link]Paper  doi  abstract   bibtex   
Over the last decades, a decline in motor skills and in physical activity and an increase in obesity has been observed in children. However, there is a lack of data in young children. We tested if differences in motor skills and in physical activity according to weight or gender were already present in 2- to 4-year-old children.
