Childhood Physical Activity and Developmental Niche in Contemporary Pastoralist Maasai Community in Southern Kenya
Segmented physical activity and sedentary behavior patterns among children in Maasai village and Nairobi city
OBJECTIVES: Urban-rural comparisons between those who maintain traditional lifestyles such as pastoralist Maasai children, and those who live in cities such as Nairobi, provide implications on how urbanization is associated with children's physical activity (PA) and sedentary behavior (SB) patterns. This study compares PA and SB volumes and patterns across different segments of the week among children in Maasai village and Nairobi city in Kenya. …
Sociocultural Dimensions of Children’s Physical Activity in Contemporary Pastoralist Maasai Society
Children's physical activity (CPA) in low- and middle-income regions has received increasing attention, but research is still very limited. This study explores the CPA in contemporary pastoralist Maasai society in rural Kenya by considering its sociocultural dimensions. The physical activity of 25 children (15 girls and 10 boys) was documented with mixed methods, including an epidemiological assessment of the CPA and semi-structured interviews wi…
"Un apprentissage "par les pieds
Les individus vivant dans des sociétés de petite dimension disposent d’une connaissance de leur terrre, considérable et incarnée, forgée par l’expérience quotidienne de diverses pratiques des techniques du corps. Les membres de ces sociétés entretiennent dès le plus jeune âge des interactions continues et actives avec le biote dans des contextes socioculturels spontanés qui leur permettent d’acquérir des savoirs et des compétences. Les expérience…
Waza on the Move ou l'art ineffable de l'apprentissage

Physical Activity and Sedentary Behaviour Patterns among Kenyan and Japanese Children
Health benefits of physical activity are well known, yet available physical activity data is limited from children living in African and Asian countries. The purpose of the cross-sectional study was to evaluate and compare physical activity and sedentary behavior patterns, particularly hourly variations, among children in Kenya and Japan. Participants included 298 primary school students (122 Kenyan, 176 Japanese) aged 9-12 years. Physical activi…
Generating Pastoral Skills through Work and Play in the Daily Life of Maasai Children in Kenya
Pastoralists in East Africa are well known for their abilities in effective livestock and natural resource management in the dynamic arid and semi-arid ecosystem in which they live. Their ethnobiological knowledge, manifest in their skills of managing livestock and natural resources, is generated from the daily experiences of individuals in different landscapes. Since the early twentieth century, the pastoralist Maasai have gradually experienced …
Ethnobiological knowledge generation during “herding games” in pastoralist Maasai society (southern Kenya)
Savoir ethnobiologique engendré durant les « jeux de conduite de troupeau » dans la société Maasai pastoraliste (sud Kenya). Cet article explore la production du savoir ethnobiologique relatif au bétail par les enfants Maasai du sud du Kenya, à travers des jeux de conduite de troupeau. Dans la communauté Maasai qui continue à utiliser et à gérer collectivement les terres, les enfants prennent part activement aux tâches quotidiennes liées au bétai…
Ethnobotanical knowledge acquisition during daily chores
BACKGROUND: Researchers considering children's traditional ecological knowledge (TEK) highlighted the importance of examining children's daily activities as empirical contexts for its acquisition. Many of them evaluated children's TEK acquisition linearly as gain or loss, and paid less attention to the adaptive nature of this knowledge system and the social relationships arising from its acquisition processes. This study approaches children's TEK…
