8. Statistics
Good Internal Consistency (alpha = 0.71-0.72) Houwen, 2007
If alpha is too high, the items are almost redundant
If alpha is too low, the items are very broad and
essentially unrelated
High Inter-rater, Intra-rater, and Test-Retest
Reliability (ICC = 0.82-0.95) Houwen, 2007
High Correlation between object control subtest
and the ball skills subtest of the Movement ABC
9. Pros Cons
Focus on quality of
movement
Developmental Skills

Editor's Notes
Karen informed me that they are putting out a 3rd edition very soon!!
Gross Motor Quotient – Composite of the two subtests
K to 4 – based on National Association for Sport and Physical Education
References included
The correlation statistic is not consistent among other studies conducted with different populations
MORE STUDIES NEED TO BE DONE
Cultural differences – concept of swinging a bat and hitting a ball off a tee, throwing a ball overhand, etc.
