  • Children’s Participation in Organized Sport and Physical Activities and Active Free Play

    J Cairney, Divya Joshi et al.ARTICLESociology of Sport Journal2015Cited by: 10

    This study examines the associations among socioeconomic status (SES), aging, gender and sport and physical activity participation from late childhood into adolescence. Drawing from previous research, we test three hypotheses regarding the impact of aging on SES and sport participation using longitudinal data. The data come from a prospective cohort study of children, all of whom were enrolled in grade 4 (at baseline) in the public school system …

  • When and for whom are relative age effects important? evidence from a simple test of cardiorespiratory fitness

    Open AccessScott Veldhuizen, Terrance J Wade et al.ARTICLEAmerican Journal of Human Biology2014

    OBJECTIVES: When individuals of different ages are combined into a single group and an ability that varies with age is measured, younger individuals are disadvantaged. This phenomenon is known as a relative age effect (RAE) and has been shown to be widespread in sport and education. METHODS: In this article, we examine RAEs in a large group of children tested repeatedly on the 20-m shuttle run, a common test of cardiorespiratory fitness. Followin…

  • Associations between family eating behaviours and body composition measures in peri-adolescents

  • Socio-Demographic Determinants of Familial and Partner Pressures to Conceive in Hiv-Positive Women in Ontario, Canada

    Sachin Mehta, Trent Newmeyer et al.ARTICLEJournal of Epidemiology and…2013

    Introduction Access to antiretroviral therapy has improved quality of life, minimized vertical transmission, and reduced mortality and morbidity in HIV-infected women. With these advances, many HIV-infected women and their partners are deciding to have children or carry unplanned pregnancies to term. Objective To examine the relationship between socio-demographic factors and family and partner pressures to conceive in HIV-positive women in Ontari…

  • Gender, perceived competence and the enjoyment of physical education in children

    Open AccessJ Cairney, Matthew Y W Kwan et al.ARTICLEInternational Journal of…2012

    BACKGROUND: The current study examined associations between gender, perceived athletic competence, and enjoyment of physical education (PE) class over time in a cohort of children enrolled in grade four (ages 9 or 10) at baseline (n = 2262). METHODS: We assessed each student 5 times over a period of 2 years. We used mixed effects modeling to examine change over time in enjoyment of PE. RESULTS: Enjoyment of PE declined among girls but remained co…

  • Association between body composition and conformity to the recommendations of Canada's Food Guide and the Dietary Approaches to Stop Hypertension (Dash) diet in peri-adolescence

    Open AccessSamantha Hajna, Jian Liu et al.ARTICLEPublic Health Nutrition2012

    Objective The role of following the recommendations of Canada's Food Guide (CFG) and the Dietary Approaches to Stop Hypertension (DASH) diet on body composition in children is unknown. The present study assessed how conformity to the recommendations of these diets was associated with BMI, waist-to-height ratio (WHtR), waist-to-hip ratio (WHR), waist girth (WG), hip girth (HG) and risk of overweight in peri-adolescents. Design CFG and DASH indices…

  • Generalized self‐efficacy and performance on the 20‐metre shuttle run in children

    Open AccessJ Cairney, John A Hay et al.ARTICLEAmerican Journal of Human Biology2008

    It has been argued that motivation significantly affects the measurement of aerobic capacity when using field tests with children. In this study, the impact of generalized self‐efficacy on performance (Stage Completed) in the Léger shuttle run is examined in a cohort of children ( N = 2,245, 9.38 ± 0.52 years old) in Grade 4 from 75 elementary schools. Children completed the Children's Self‐perceptions of Adequacy in and Predilection for Physical…

  • Developmental coordination disorder and reported enjoyment of physical education in children

    Open AccessJ Cairney, John Hay et al.ARTICLEEuropean Physical Education Review2007Cited by: 2References: 6

    Children with developmental coordination disorder (DCD) are less likely to enjoy participating in physical education (PE) than children without motor coordination difficulties. However, no studies have attempted to quantify this relationship or examine potentially modifiable mediating variables. Using a large sample ( N = 590) of children (aged 9 to 14), we examine differences in the enjoyment of PE classes between children with DCD and those wit…

  • Comparison of Anthropometry and Parent-reported Height and Weight Among Nine Year Olds

  • Developmental coordination disorder and aerobic fitness

    Open AccessJ Cairney, John A Hay et al.ARTICLEAmerican Journal of Human Biology2006

    Developmental coordination disorder (DCD) is characterized by motor inproficiency, resulting in significant impairments in social and/or academic functioning. About 5–9% of all school‐age children are affected. Previous research has shown that children with DCD have lower aerobic fitness levels than children without the disorder, although the reasons for this have not been tested in the literature. A potential explanation may lie in perceived ade…
