Motor coordination in school-aged children with different nutritional statuses following a non-immersive virtual reality intervention
The intervention did not affect motor coordination. Younger children demonstrated better motor coordination, and sedentary behavior time was high and similar among the children. These findings highlight the importance of public health strategies that provide regular and adequate motor stimulation during childhood.
