Abstract
Motor competence is a multidimensional latent construct reflecting proficiency across distinct motor-skill domains, shaped by both individual and contextual factors. This study examined the influence of sex, age, and class context on domain-specific motor-competence profiles in 312 Greek primary school children (6–12 years, 156 girls), assessed with the Movement Assessment Battery for Children–Second Edition (MABC-2) across manual dexterity, aiming-catching, and balance domains, analyzed via linear mixed-effects modeling.
