Figure 1
Correlations (Spearman's ρ) between the raw scores on the Fitnessgram (each graph) and the sum of raw scores of KTK (KTKSS) for each age group (partial correlation controlled by sex), and the sum of raw scores for all ages (not controlling for age and sex). The circle represents the mean and the error bars of the 95% confidence interval of the bootstrap distribution after 10000 iterations.

Figure 2
Correlations (Spearman's ρ) between the sum of tests achieving fit status on the Fitnessgram (FitCount) and the standardized measures of KTK (motor quotient – MQ, and categories derived from MQ) for all ages (not controlling for age and sex) and for each age group (partial correlation controlled by sex). The circle represents the mean and the error bars of the 95% confidence interval of the bootstrap distribution after 10000 iterations.

Figure 3
Association (φ) between the broad Fit/Unfit category from the Fitnessgram and the broad category of Sufficient/Insufficient Coordination from KTK for all ages (not controlling for age and sex) and for each age group (partial correlation controlled by sex). The circle represents the mean and the error bars of the 95% confidence interval of the bootstrap distribution after 10000 iterations. The black line represents the minimum value required for significance (the mean and confidence intervals need to be above that line to be significant at p<0.050).
