Screen time, physical activity, and health-related quality of life in early childhood
Meeting recommendations of ≤ 1 h/day of screen time and ≥ 180 min/day of PA is associated with better HRQoL scores in 4- to 5-year-olds, with gender-specific differences. Interventions should promote healthy habits from early childhood, incorporating a gender perspective and emphasizing equitable physical activities and digital content monitoring
Changes in cortical brain activity after active break in preschoolers
These effects persisted for up to 20 min after exercise, suggesting that brief, high-intensity exercise induces EEG changes associated with states of attentional readiness and emotional regulation, which may support learning, pending further validation
Active Commuting to School among Spanish Preschool Children
In preschool children, the present study obtained a favourable result on active commuting to school, showing a pattern stability in the examined period similar to other ages. It will be of great importance to promote this behaviour to obtain high levels of active commuting to school
Sex differences on the relation among gross motor competence, cognition, and academic achievement in children
An association between gross motor competence (GMC) and academic achievement (AA) has been described, but the potential mechanisms behind this association are still unknown. It is not known either whether these mechanisms are similar for boys and girls. The aim of this study was to analyse whether the association between GMC and AA is mediated by executive functions (EFs), and to investigate whether this mediation differs by sex. This cross‐secti…
Teachers’ perceptions of barriers and facilitators of the school environment for physical activity in schoolchildren
A qualitative study based on grounded theory was carried out to analyse the facilitators and barriers of the school environment for physical activity (PA) perceived by teachers at schools in Cuenca and Ciudad Real (Castilla La Mancha-Spain). The data were collected through semi-structured interviews. Three themes were identified, 1) facilitators and 2) barriers to PA and 3) initiatives to promote PA among school children. Facilitators were teache…
Association between gross motor competence and health-related quality of life in (pre)schoolchildren
Background: Motor competence, defined as a person’s ability to execute different motor skills, is directly associated with children’s physical, mental, and social development and may be essential in encouraging an active lifestyle in childhood. Although health-related quality of life (HRQoL) in children has been described as an individual’s subjective perception of the impact of health status on physical, psychological and social functioning, in …
Parents’ Perceptions on Barriers and Facilitators of Physical Activity among Schoolchildren
Given that physical activity (PA) plays an important role in early childhood, understanding the factors that affect the practice of PA at an early age could help develop effective strategies for overcoming barriers and increasing activity levels in this age group. A qualitative study was conducted based on grounded theory aimed at exploring the perceptions of mothers and fathers from Cuenca and Ciudad Real (Castilla La Mancha, Spain) regarding ba…
Reference Values for Fitness Level and Gross Motor Skills of 4–6-Year-Old Chilean Children
In childhood, fitness level is considered an important indicator of health, while gross motor skills are the basis of future motor competence. So far, no reference values have been found for the Chilean population. Therefore, this study aims to provide fitness level and gross motor skill reference values by gender and age of Chilean children aged 4‒6 years. A cross-sectional analysis was conducted that included 728 children between 4 and 6 years …
Rationale and methods of the Movi-da10! Study –a cluster-randomized controlled trial of the impact of classroom-based physical activity programs on children’s adiposity, cognition and motor competence
NCT03236363 (clinicaltrials.gov), 31st July 2017
Associations between health-related quality of life and physical fitness in 4–7-year-old Spanish children
Rationale and methods of a randomised cross-over cluster trial to assess the effectiveness of Movi-Kids on preventing obesity in pre-schoolers
Clinical trials.gov: NCT01971840 . (Date of registration: Initial Release: 10/07/2013; Record Verification: 23/10/2013)
Association between parental socioeconomic status with underweight and obesity in children from two Spanish birth cohorts
Underweight prevalence was lower in the cohort of children born in 1999-2000, and the prevalence of overweight and obesity was lower in the cohort of children born in 2007-2008. Furthermore, while in the 1999-2000 children's cohort underweight was more frequent amongst children from high SES families and overweight/obesity was more frequent in children from low SES families, in the 2008-2009 children's cohort the opposite was true
Self-Reports Versus Parental Perceptions of Health-Related Quality of Life Among Deaf Children and Adolescents
The aim of this study was to assess the agreement between deaf children's and adolescents' self-ratings of health-related quality of life (HRQoL) and their parents' proxy reports. This observational cross-sectional study included 114 deaf 8- to 18-years-old students and proxy family members. HRQoL was measured using the KIDSCREEN-27 questionnaire, which was adapted to Spanish sign language for children, with a written version for parents. Respond…
Barriers, facilitators and preferences for the physical activity of school children. Rationale and methods of a mixed study
Mixed-method study is an appropriate strategy to know the perceptions of children about barriers and facilitators for physical activity, using both qualitative methods for a deeply understanding of their points of view, and quantitative methods for triangulate the discourse of participants with empirical data. We consider that this is an innovative approach that could provide knowledges for the development of more effective interventions to preve…
Health-related quality of life, obesity, and fitness in schoolchildren
Trends in excess of weight, underweight and adiposity among Spanish children from 2004 to 2010
Objective To examine the trends in BMI and adiposity among schoolchildren from Cuenca, Spain, during 2004–2010. Design Two methodologically comparable surveys were carried out in 2004 and 2010. Setting Primary schools in Cuenca, a province in the middle of Spain. Subjects All schoolchildren aged 8–11 years, belonging to 4th and 5th grades from twenty schools in the Province of Cuenca, were invited to participate in both cross-sectional studies. W…
Trends in excess weight and thinness among Spanish schoolchildren in the period 1992–2004
Background In developed countries, there is abundant information on the epidemic of childhood obesity, but only a few studies on trends in the dual burden of body weight (overweight and thinness). Objective To examine trends in overweight and thinness among 9–10-year-old Spanish children in the last decade. Methods Data were taken from cross-sectional studies on schoolchildren in Cuenca (Spain), conducted in 1992, 1996, 1998 and 2004 with similar…
