Purpose:  Adolescent perceptions of their physical self-worth (PSW) and the component domains draw upon physical attributes, such as motor competence, physical fitness, and self-perceptions, which in turn enhance the desire to engage in physical activity. Whilst these relationships have been researched in populations with typical motor development, little is known of the interplay of these contributors to PSW with those with low motor competence (LMC). Even less is known of how importance placed on particular physical subdomains may be used by the adolescent with LMC to mitigate negative effects on their perceptions of PSW.  Method:  Thirty-four adolescents with low motor competence, 25 boys and 9 girls ( Mage  = 13.89 yrs,  SD  = 1.49), completed the McCarron Assessment of Neuromuscular Development (MAND), the Children’s Physical Self-Perception Questionnaire (C-PSPP) and a range of physical fitness tests.  Results:  All self-perception subdomain score was lower than importance ratings. Physical fitness measures were also low but were not significantly associated with PSW. However, the higher importance scores relative to physical self-perceptions resulted in greater discrepancy scores in all subdomains.  Conclusion:  Adolescents with LMC have low PSW, and low self-perceptions relative to importance ratings for most physical self-subdomains. These discrepancies, rather than actual fitness, potentially reduce their motivation to be physically active.
