Cluster analysis of motor coordination and health-related fitness in preschool children: population classification and variable contribution based on principal component analysis
Motor coordination plays a pivotal role in preschool children's fitness development, particularly in agility and strength. PCA and cluster analysis highlighted distinct group differences, supported by validated retention and validation procedures, underscoring the need for targeted interventions to enhance motor coordination and overall health.
