The cascade of adverse events that may result from a lack of fundamental movement skill (FMS) development during childhood. Interventions targeted to youth at risk for Exercise Deficit Disorder can be achieved with relatively inexpensive strategies and will likely demonstrate the great effectiveness. As children digress into the inactivity vortex, the related health care costs to treat deficits will show incremental increases and will likely be in most part ineffective which will further stress the health care system.
