Bronchiectasis is a major contributor to respiratory morbidity and healthcare utilization in children. Children with bronchiectasis often exhibit low levels of physical activity (PA) and poor fundamental movement skills (FMS). These two factors may be a contributing element in the growth and development of a child.
However, there are no data on fundamental movement skills. Those children who meet their age equivalency for fundamental movement skills proficiency participate in significantly more daily moderate-to-vigorous physical activity than children who do not meet their age-equivalency, suggested a recent study conducted at the School of Human Movement and Nutrition Sciences, The University of Queensland, Brisbane, Australia.
