Validation of FUNMOVES: A reliable tool for assessing motor skills in Spanish schoolchildren
The Spanish FUNMOVES shows initial structural and convergent validity for school-based FMS screening. Its simplicity, low cost, and scalability support early detection and intervention. The tool is freely available and can be implemented using existing school resources in one PE session, potentially accelerating the diagnostic process.
