Article Abstract
A person-centred approach was used to examine whether children with various actual and perceived motor competence (AMC and PMC) profiles differ in (enjoyment of) physical fitness (PF). The strength of the relationship between AMC and PMC was also assessed through aligned assessment tools. A sample of 287 7-11-year-old children (47.40% boys, age = 8.92 ± .78 years) was assessed on AMC with the KörperkoordinationsTest für Kinder (KTK3), and on PF with six validated fitness tests. Animated videos fully aligned with the AMC- and PF-tests were used to assess children's PMC and enjoyment of PF, respectively. Cluster analyses identified one convergent (i.e. high AMC-high PMC) and three partially convergent AMC-PMC profiles (i.e. low AMC-high PMC). Furthermore, children with relatively high AMC (i.e. high-average profile) reported higher PF ( = 30.99, < .001), while children with relatively high PMC (i.e. average-high profile) reported higher enjoyment of PF ( = 9.02, < .001). The correlation between AMC and PMC was significant but weak ( = .16). Overall, it seems important to invest in both children's AMC and PMC as they may support a higher (enjoyment of) PF, potentially leading to higher PA-levels.

The impact of surgeons' visual angle misperception on acetabular cup positioning accuracy: a retrospective multicentre cohort study.

Background: Precise acetabular cup placement in total hip arthroplasty (THA) heavily relies on surgeons' visual judgment of angles. However, whether inherent visual angle misperception among surgeons affects surgical outcomes remains unclear. This study is the first to reveal that surgeons universally exhibit visual angle misperception, a key factor causing the cup implant positioning deviations in THA.

Objective: We evaluated the empirical fit of our model of clinical momentum for older adults with life-limiting illness undergoing unplanned surgery.
Background: Older adults often undergo surgery near the end of life, in contrast to generally stated preferences. Systems forces promoting intervention may produce nonbeneficial treatment despite advances in communication.
Use of the Capability, Opportunity, Motivation-Behaviour Model and Theoretical Domains Framework to Understand Barriers and Enablers of Research Capacity and Culture for Speech and Language Therapy Staff.

Background: Research Capacity and Culture (RCC) is important for research engagement. Little is known of what speech and language therapy staff perceives to be the barriers or enablers to this at individual, team and organisational levels.
Aims: To identify the barriers and enablers to RCC among speech and language therapy staff, using behaviour change theory as a framework, and to explore their self-reported level of research engagement.
Influence of consumer socio-psychological food environment on food choice and its implications for nutrition: evidence from Tanzania.

Background: Changes in consumer food choices have been associated with transformation in the food environment. Despite the direct impact of consumers' food choices on their diet and health outcomes, there is a lack of comprehensive evidence regarding how various factors within the food environment impact these choices.
Methods: This study uses the Theory of Planned Behavior to examine how socio-psychological factors in the food environment influence consumers' healthy food choices.
Sensorimotor incongruence during walking using delayed visual feedback.

Neurorehabilitation Research Center, Kio University, Nara, Japan.
The ability to detect small errors between sensory prediction in the brain and actual sensory feedback is important in rehabilitation after brain injury, where motor function needs to be restored. To date in the recent study, a delayed visual error detection task during upper limb movement was used to measure this ability for healthy participants or patients. However, this ability during walking, which is the most sought-after in brain-injured patients, was unclear.
