Correlations between motor and cognitive skills in young basketball players: A bivariate regression analysis

Abstract

In the present literature, the correlation between physical, motor and cognitive aspects in the development of children is widely considered [1-3]. Many studies take into account children’s developmental impairments, like the Developmental Coordination Disorders (DCD) [4,5]. For instance, in the Canadian PHAST project [6], the author investigates about the impact of motor problems on physical activity of children, and its related physical consequences on health.
