Association Between Motor Competence, Executive Functions, and Self‐Regulation
BACKGROUND: There are several associated factors that have an impact on a child's development, including the cognitive and motor domains. Motor competence is intrinsically linked to executive functioning, even though the causal links between the development of motor skills and the development of cognitive skills are not always obvious. Even in early childhood, with advances in cognitive processes in the child's development, processes emerge that …
Adherence to the 24‐h Movement Behaviors Guidelines and Associations With Cognitive and Behavioral Self‐Regulation Among Brazilian Preschoolers
BACKGROUND: Adherence to 24-h movement guidelines has been associated with early health benefits, including neurodevelopmental outcomes. However, the associations between these guidelines and Cognitive (CSR) and Behavioral (BSR) self-regulation in preschoolers are underexplored. This study investigated the associations between adherence to 24-h movement guidelines and CSR and BSR in Brazilian preschoolers. METHODS: A total of 223 preschoolers (4.…
Motor Skill Development at Preschool Age in Girls and Boys
Males might capitalize on free outdoor play opportunities as early as preschool age to engage in activities that promote their motor and especially object control skill development. Longitudinal studies are needed to test causality and derive practical indications for enabling both males and females to fully exploit the opportunities provided by free outdoor play to exercise both locomotor and object control skills
Twenty-Four-Hour Compositional Data Analysis in Healthcare
Compositional Data Analysis (CoDA) is a powerful statistical approach for analyzing 24 h time-use data, effectively addressing the interdependence of sleep, sedentary behavior, and physical activity. Unlike traditional methods that struggle with perfect multicollinearity, CoDA handles time use as proportions of a whole, providing biologically meaningful insights into how daily activity patterns relate to health. Applications in epidemiology have …
Mental Health in Young Adult University Students During Covid-19 Lockdown
This study analyzed associations between physical activity (PA), sedentary behaviors (SB), sleep, and mental health indicators in young adults during the COVID-19 lockdown (15 January-19 April 2021). The participants were 549 Portuguese university students (18-30 years, 57.7% male). Mental health was assessed using the DASS-21 for depression, anxiety, stress, and DASS-21 total score (DASSt). Physical activity (vigorous, moderate, walking) was mea…
The impact of a school-based physical activity program on children's movement behaviors, aerobic fitness and motor competence
The findings indicate that the benefits of a 3-month school-based PA intervention, which included an additional hour of physical education per week, can have sustained benefits for movement behaviors, physical fitness, and MC in children one year post-intervention. However, the small sample size and lack of randomization limit the generalizability of the results. Future research should employ larger, randomized trials to better assess the long-te…

Impact of Covid-19 pandemic on 24-hour movement behaviors among preschoolers from Brazil
Healthy habits during early childhood are essential for a healthy adolescence and adulthood. Before the COVID-19 pandemic, the number of children who met the 24-h movement behavior (physical activity [PA], sedentary behavior, and sleep) guidelines was low worldwide. Despite a lack of evidence, the restriction measures imposed during the COVID-19 pandemic are claimed to have further reduced the number, especially among preschoolers. Thus, this stu…
Paths towards a healthier BMI among short and adequate sleepers
INTRODUCTION: Short sleep duration has been seen as a predictor of higher body mass index (BMI) in youth. Sleep duration varies substantially along early childhood, and the paths towards a healthier BMI, considering the other movement behaviors (physical activity-PA and screen time) are unexplored in preschoolers. AIM: To construct a sleep-BMI model to capture the direct and indirect paths to intervening towards a healthier BMI, according to low-…
Movement behaviors in short versus adequate nocturnal sleepers
BACKGROUND: Accruing adequate daily amounts of time spent on movement behaviors (physical activity (PA), sedentary behavior (SB), and sleep) in childhood has been associated with positive short and long-term health outcomes. Nonetheless, how waking time is distributed across PA and SB among preschoolers who are short and adequate sleepers at night is unknown. AIM: This study investigated: (1) if there are differences in a movement behaviors compo…
Association between Different Domains of Sedentary Behavior and Health-Related Quality of Life in Adults
Extended periods of time on screen devices and sitting are the main activities that characterize sedentary behavior (SB), which negatively impacts the quality of life. This negative influence was demonstrated mainly by cross-sectional studies performed in high-income countries in which the effects of screen time on health-related quality of life (HRQoL) is not considered. Thus, we analyzed the association between the different domains of SB (i.e.…
