Feasibility of dynamic structural equation modeling for capturing micro-level temporal dynamics in adolescent physical activity
Worldwide, physical activity (PA) levels among adolescents remain insufficient, highlighting the need for effective interventions. To improve these efforts, a nuanced understanding of habitual PA patterns and their fluctuations is essential. This feasibility study demonstrates the application of Dynamic Structural Equation Modeling (DSEM) to analyze micro-level temporal dynamics in adolescent PA behavior. Building on data from Beck et al. (2024) …

Physical activity (PA) has numerous health benefits for children using wheelchairs. Therefore, this qualitative study aimed to get a comprehensive overview of their PA behaviour and its determinants. Seven boys and five girls aged 7–11 years participated in semi-structured interviews, exploring type, duration, setting and intensity of weekly PA. Using a qualitative content analysis determinants and participants’ PA were identified and categorized…
Compensatory behavior of physical activity in adolescents – a qualitative analysis of the underlying mechanisms and influencing factors
Summarizing the findings, the present study delivered new insights into the field of compensatory behavior in adolescents. Nevertheless, compensatory behavior was not consistently observed regarding the occurrence of compensation, direction, timeframe and ratio. However, social support appears to be an important factor to compensate positively or to avoid a negative compensatory behavior. Further, it seems to be helpful to support individuals in …
How do adolescents experience the decision-making process on travel mode choice?
Active travel can contribute to multiple health benefits in youth. Previous research has identified several factors influencing travel behavior. This study investigates how adolescents process these factors during their decision-making process on travel mode choice. Semi-structured interviews were conducted with 13 adolescents (11–14 years) and analysed using deductive–inductive thematic analysis. Four themes were generated from which the decisio…
Developing a policy brief on physical activity promotion for children and adolescents
Introduction: While there are several approaches to collect basic information on physical activity (PA) promotion policies, some governments require more in-depth overviews on the situation in their country. In Germany, the Federal Ministry of Health expressed its interest in collecting detailed data on target group specific PA promotion, as relevant competences are distributed across a wide range of political levels and sectors. This study descr…
Associations of parents’ and adolescents’ active travel behavior across various destinations – a sex/gender analysis
Background Active travel behavior such as walking and cycling is associated with several health benefits. Especially the family environment seems to be important for active travel in children and adolescents. Currently, little is known regarding travel behavior in leisure time and associations of travel behavior within parent-adolescent dyads. Methods The present analysis is based on the German ARRIVE study (Active tRavel behavioR in the famIly e…
Active school transport routines during school transitions
Adolescents' travel behavior in Germany
This study comprehensively describes travel behavior to various destinations among adolescents from Germany aged 11–15 years and how this varies according to residential location type and adolescents' socio-demographics. Overall, more than a half of adolescents use active transport modes to reach school and non-school destinations. Prevalence of passive transport modes was higher in girls compared to boys, on the way to and from school compared t…
Global Matrix 4.0 Physical Activity Report Card Grades for Children and Adolescents
Background : The Global Matrix 4.0 on physical activity (PA) for children and adolescents was developed to achieve a comprehensive understanding of the global variation in children’s and adolescents’ (5–17 y) PA, related measures, and key sources of influence. The objectives of this article were (1) to summarize the findings from the Global Matrix 4.0 Report Cards, (2) to compare indicators across countries, and (3) to explore trends related to t…
Scaling Up Physical Activity Promotion Projects on the Community Level for Women in Difficult Life Situations and Older People
Introduction: Physical inactivity is a major risk factor for a population's health, especially among socially disadvantaged groups. Many health promotion projects focus on increasing physical activity among their respective target groups. However, because they are mostly developed and implemented under laboratory conditions, they fail when being scaled to real-world settings. The community-based participatory research projects BIG and GESTALT hav…
Interventions simultaneously promoting social participation and physical activity in community living older adults
Scaling Up a Community-Based Exercise Program for Women in Difficult Life Situations in Germany—The BIG Project as a Case-Study
Scaling up community-based participatory research (CBPR) remains challenging. This case-study reports on how, and under which conditions, a CBPR project aiming at promoting exercise among socially disadvantaged women (BIG) scaled up at four project sites. As part of BIG, researchers support city administrations in implementing a participatory project to reach socially disadvantaged women for exercise. The case study was conducted in winter 2020 i…
Use of Digital Media for Home-Based Sports Activities during the Covid-19 Pandemic
Health authorities recommend digital tools for home-based sport and exercise routines to stay active and healthy during the COVID-19 pandemic. The study investigates the prevalence, duration, most popular activities, and social selectivity of home-based digital sport and its contribution to overall levels of sporting activity during the pandemic. It is based on cross-sectional survey data ( n = 1508), representing the population >14 years living …
Transferring a Community-Based Participatory Research Project to Promote Physical Activity Among Socially Disadvantaged Women—Experiences From 15 Years of BIG
Introduction: Community-based participatory research (CBPR) is an effective approach for health promo-tion, especially with socially disadvantaged groups. However, the long-term implementation of such projects on a broad scale in practice is often challenging and research regarding the sustainable transfer of participa-tory research is lacking. This limits the scaling-up and public health impact of CBPR. Therefore, this study examines critical fa…
Socio-Demographic Correlates of Cycling to School among 12- to 15-Year Olds in Southern Germany
Depending on the region and urbanization level, the rate of cycling to school in Germany varies largely. The influence of distance from home to school, educational level, the school's region, and parents' socio-demographic characteristics on cycling to secondary school in Germany is unclear. Therefore, this study analyzed students' and parents' socio-demographic correlates of cycling to school, including separate analyses by gender, among 12- to …
Interventions Aiming to Promote Active Commuting in Children and Adolescents
Active commuting (AC) provides numerous health benefits and is one way to improve physical activity in children and adolescents. Boys are more likely to use active transport modes than girls. Girls and boys benefit differently from interventions that promote AC. The aim of this systematic review is to evaluate the effects of interventions on girls and boys and to appraise the extent to which previous studies have taken sex/gender into account. El…
Social Support and Modelling in Relation to Physical Activity Participation and Outdoor Play in Preschool Children
Physical activity during early childhood is a prerequisite for healthy development in many cases. The aim of this study was to assess the relationships of social modelling and support from parents, peers, and siblings and domain-specific physical activity participation in a nationwide sample of preschool boys and girls from Germany. 519 preschool children aged 4-6 and one of their parents participated in the 'MoMo' Wave 1 Study between 2009 and 2…
Exploratory Determined Correlates of Physical Activity in Children and Adolescents
Background : Physical activity is an important contributor to reducing the risk for a variety of diseases. Understanding why people are physically active contributes to evidence-based planning of public health interventions because successful actions will target factors known to be related to physical activity (PA). Therefore the aim of this study is to identify the most meaningful correlates of PA in children and adolescents using a large, repre…
Physical Activity and Outdoor Play of Children in Public Playgrounds—Do Gender and Social Environment Matter
The presence of active children contributes to children’s physical activity levels in public playgrounds. Girls’ physical activity seems to be suppressed in the presence of boys
Inscribing Temporality, Containing Fashion
Using Kracauer’s essay ‘Photography’ as a starting point, this article argues that Otto Dix’s Portrait of the Dancer Anita Berber (1925) should be understood as an intervention in Weimar Modernity’s discourse about the relevance of painted portraits in an image economy increasingly dominated by photographic reproductions. A strategy of historical retrieval will reveal how the painter dealt strategically with issues of celebrity, beauty and commod…
Validity and reliability of a self-report instrument to assess social support and physical environmental correlates of physical activity in adolescents
The results of this study indicate moderate to good reliability and construct validity of the social support scale and physical environment scale. Predictive validity was only confirmed for the social support scale but not for the physical environment scale. Hence, it remains unclear if a person's physical environment has a direct or an indirect effect on physical activity behavior or a moderation function
Prevalence and socio-demographic correlates of the compliance with the physical activity guidelines in children and adolescents in Germany
Programs and policy action addressing the problem of decreasing compliance with PA guideline with increasing age are warranted. The transition from primary school to secondary school seems to be a critical stage in life with respect to PA behaviour. Therefore, specific interventions should aim at restructuring and reorganising their daily and physical activities during this transition
