Relationship between childcare workers’ physical literacy and support for promoting children’s physical activity
Introduction: Physical literacy (PL) is defined as "the motivation, confidence, physical competence, knowledge, and understanding required to value and take responsibility for engagement in physical activities for life." Previous research suggests that higher parental PL is associated with positive attitudes and involvement in children's physical activity. As approximately 90% of children in Japan attend early childhood education and care setting…
Family socioeconomic status and moderate to vigorous physical activity among Chinese adults
Objective This study aimed to examine the relationship between family socioeconomic status (SES) and moderate to vigorous physical activity (MVPA) among adults aged 20–59 years, as well as the chain-mediating effects of exercise environment (EE) and exercise motivation (EM) in this association. Methods: Using data from the 2020 National Fitness Survey, a total of 55,804 adults aged 20–59 years were included in the analysis. Multiple linear regres…
Interruption in physical activity behavior among Chinese adults in 2015 and 2020
While physical activity (PA) promotion is a global priority, behavioral interruption remains a significant challenge for long-term maintenance. This study aims to analyze the trends and multilevel correlates of interruption in PA behavior among Chinese adults using national survey data from 2015 to 2020, providing a basis for targeted public health interventions. Data were drawn from the 2015 and 2020 National Fitness Surveys that included 31 pro…

Introduction: Physical literacy contributes to physical activity and comprises four conceptually interrelated domains: physical, emotional, social, and cognitive. The International Sport and Culture Association proposed the Physical Literacy for Life self-assessment tool (PL4L); however, its factor structure and usability are not clear. This study aimed to examine the factor structure and internal consistency of the PL4L in adults and its associa…
Sports-related factors and stunting in children under 5 years old
Globally, approximately 148.1 million children are affected by stunting, significantly threatening their health and cognitive development. This nationwide cross-sectional study uniquely focused on sports-related factors, including family sports-related spending, duration of physical activity, and consistent participation in sports. Using data involving 5,017 children under 5 years old from 471 counties across 31 provinces in China, significant so…
Tracking handgrip strength in Kendo athletes from university to middle and older adulthood
OBJECTIVE: This study aimed to compare the current handgrip strength (HGS) of Kendo athletes with their HGS when they were in university (up to 50 years). METHODS: Eighty male graduates who were Kendo club members during their university days performed anthropometric and HGS measurements, and these HGS were compared with those measured during their university days (mean age of 19.5 years old). RESULTS: There was no evidence of a statistical diffe…
Athletes in sporting events with upper‐body gripping movements have greater handgrip strength than those in sporting events that prioritize the lower body
OBJECTIVE: Evidence suggests that acquiring a high level of handgrip strength early in life and maintaining that strength throughout life may be important for health. In addition, it is thought that sports activities performed during the developmental period are effective in improving handgrip strength, but it is unknown what types of sports are more effective. As a first step, we conducted a cross-sectional study to compare handgrip strength acr…
Relationship between Skeletal Muscle Thickness and Physical Activity in 4- to 6-Year-Olds in Japan
The time spent involved in most of the different categories of moderate-to-vigorous PA was significantly higher for boys than for girls on the weekdays and weekends. Additionally, there was a positive correlation between time spent in moderate-to-vigorous PA and greater development of skeletal muscle in the lower body
Associations of Morphological Changes in Skeletal Muscles of Preschool Children in China Following Physical Activity
We found that the muscle thickness of the posterior thigh in preschool children was significantly positively associated with PA, as measured by daily steps and MVPA. We suggest that for the overall health and well-being of preschool children, the levels of PA should be maintained and/or increased, and preferably transformed into a regular part of daily living
Risk Factors of Sports-Related Injury in School-Aged Children and Adolescents
Studies conducting quantitative surveys in school-aged children and adolescents help identify sports-related risk factors for acute and overuse injuries are scarce. This study aimed to quantify the risk factors for sports-related injury in school-aged children and adolescents by school categories. University students ( n = 484) retrospectively recalled their sports experiences and related injuries in a questionnaire according to the following sch…
Sports Specialization and Sports-Related Injuries in Japanese School-Aged Children and Adolescents
Although early sports specialization is associated with sports-related injuries, relevant quantitative studies on young non-elite athletes, the majority of sports participants, are scarce. We described sports specialization time points and the characteristics of sports-related injuries. Undergraduate students at a university in Japan ( n = 830) recalled their history of sports participation from elementary to high school and sports-related injuri…
Moderate-to-vigorous physical activity attenuates the detrimental effects of television viewing on the cardiorespiratory fitness in Asian adolescents
Background Moderate-to-vigorous physical activity (MVPA) and television viewing are independently associated with cardiorespiratory fitness. However, limited evidence is available on their combined effects, specifically of MVPA and watching television, on cardiorespiratory fitness in the young Asian population. Therefore, the present study examined whether MVPA can attenuate the detrimental effects of prolonged television viewing on the cardiores…
