- Performance on the movement assessment battery for children: a systematic review about gender differences P. Rodrigues M. Ribeiro R. Barros S. Lopes A. Sousa Multidisciplinarias (Ciencias Sociales) Systematic review gender differences movement assessment battery for children A gender difference has been found in motor competence using several instruments. The Movement Assessment Battery for Children (MABC) seems to be one of the most developed instruments for children’s motor coordination assessment, allowing the identification of developmental coordination disorders. Our study aimed to systematically review the differences in the motor performance between genders in studies using only the MABC. Five databases (Scopus, EBSCO+Sport Discus, Web of Knowledge, B-ON and Pubmed) were systematically investigated and studies were included if the MABC tests was a central objective and gender was a considered factor. Five authors independently assessed the eligibility of the studies. A systematic review of electronic databases and reference lists has identified nineteen peer-reviewed studies that meet the inclusion criteria. Results revealed that gender differences in performance were consistent across studies, since boys had more success and ease in activities involving gross motor skills, and girls did better activities involving fine motor skills. Differences in balance were not conclusive as the results on this parameter were mixed. This systematic review highlights the magnitude of gender differences on motor competence as evaluated by the MABC. 2019 artículo científico 1885-3137 https://www.redalyc.org/articulo.oa?id=71065357006 https://www.redalyc.org/journal/710/71065357006/ https://www.redalyc.org/journal/710/71065357006/html/ https://www.redalyc.org/journal/710/71065357006/71065357006.epub https://www.redalyc.org/journal/710/71065357006/movil https://doi.org/10.5232/ricyde2019.05505 en http://www.redalyc.org/revista.oa?id=710 RICYDE.
