Intervention effect of physical activity on motor coordination in children and adolescents with developmental coordination disorder: a meta-analysis
Based on the current limited evidence, physical activity did not yield a uniform improvement in motor coordination among children and adolescents with developmental coordination disorders. However, variations in the study design, including differences in intervention intensity and control group activity, may contribute to the observed inconsistencies. Future studies with larger, well-controlled, randomized trials are needed to clarify the specific conditions under which physical activity may exert optimal benefits.
