Why would PE programs use TGMD2?
For assessing individuals and evaluating the success of gross MD
Why would researchers/kinesiologists use TGMD2?
To determine if children have delays and to assess gross MD in other children

Do you add the standard scores for both subjects?
Yes
What do you convert the sum of the standard scores to?
Total gross motor quotients and percentile
What and why is the most useful value of TGMD2?
Gross motor quotient as it is the best estimate of gross MD
