lifestyle and relates to cognitive/socio-emotional domains of human
functioning. Yet, recent literature indicates a decline in (pre)school
children's MC, while MC development and its influencing factors are
hardly documented in 1- to 3-year-olds. As such, the WHO pinpoints
motor development research in this age group as a gap to address.

Monitoring Motor Competence in 1- to 3-year-old Flemish Toddlers (MoMoCo): Reference values and insight into the correlates/determinants of motor competence and its development during the early years of life. Ghent University
MC is key for a healthy/active lifestyle, but hardly documented in 1- to 3-year-olds. Besides determining actual MC-levels in Flemish toddlers for developing up-to-date reference values, the variability of MC-trajectories will be linked to cognitive and socio-emotional functioning with identification of individual and environmental determinants.

1-2-3-MOVE! Co-created initiatives focused on MOTOR COMPETENCE to kickstart 1- to 3-year-old Flemish toddlers' developmental trajectories Ghent University
Modern era children struggle to obtain age-appropriate levels of motor
competence (MC). MC is the capacity to intentionally perform
coordinated motor actions in the context of daily life, play and sports
participation. The positive associations between MC, physical activity,
health and other domains of development (cognitive, psychological,
socio-emotional and communicative) are extensively documented from ...

Systems vaccinology in toddlers en children KU Leuven
Despite great achievements in medicine, infectious diseases are still a leading cause of children morbidity and mortality. Up until now, most vaccines have been empirically generated without a true understanding of the precise immunologic mechanisms of action of successful vaccines. As we are now facing difficulties in developing new or more efficient vaccines, we need to understand the precise mechanisms underlying successful vaccination and ...

SPRAK36 project KU Leuven
Since the implementation of the Pupil Guidance Decree (September 2018) parents are invited with their three-year-old toddler at the site of the School Health Services to evaluate the presence of possible difficulties in development and parenting of young children. In the absence of a validated, standardized guideline to support the conversation with the parent the SPARK36 is set up. SPARK36 stands for Structured Problem Analysis of Raising ...
Cancer during pregnancy: long-term follow-up of neuropsychological and behavioral development of children after antenatal exposure to chemo- and/or radiotherapy KU Leuven
Today, cancer during pregnancy has become increasingly prevalent, largely because of the recent trend to postpone childbearing until a more mature age. The current prevalence in Europe is 1 in 1000 pregnancies, with breast cancer and hematological cancers accounting for more than half. When cancer is diagnosed in an expecting mother, the decision whether or not to start treatment strikes a delicate balance between the well-being of the mother ...
