Latent Profile Analysis of Children’s Active Physical Recreation Patterns in Middle Childhood
Understanding factors that influence physical activity participation in middle childhood is essential for developing effective interventions. To date, many studies have contributed valuable knowledge on the individual, or person-centered, factors that influence participation, such as motor competence and perceived motor competence. However, there is an increasing body of literature in support of exploring participation through a broader lens, con…
Perceptions Matter! Active Physical Recreation Participation of Children with High and Low Actual and Perceived Physical Competence
Emerging evidence suggests that the accuracy of a child's perceived physical competence (PPC) impacts participation in physical activity. We examined differences in active physical recreation (APR) participation based on clusters of high and low motor competence and perceptions from grades 3-5. Participants were a longitudinal sample ( n = 155; 85 girls) of grade three, four, and five children. Fundamental motor skills (FMSs) were assessed using …
Examining the Canadian 24-Hour Movement Guidelines among Adults with Intellectual Disability
The purpose of this pilot study was to investigate the extent to which adults with intellectual disability (ID) met the 2020 Canadian 24-Hour Movement Guidelines. Fifteen adults (six females and nine males) participated in this nine-day observational study (age = 20-64 years) in 2021-2022, during the COVID-19 pandemic. Moderate-to-vigorous physical activity (MVPA), sedentary time, and total sleep time were measured with a smartwatch to compare to…
The Influence of Perceptions of Competence on Motor Skills and Physical Activity in Middle Childhood
The mediating effect of perceptions of physical competence (PPC) on the relationship between motor competence and physical activity levels is documented in adolescence. However, it is unclear at what age this begins. In this study, we examined whether PPC mediated the relationship between moderate-vigorous physical activity (MVPA) or sedentary behaviour and motor competence in middle childhood. The participants were 129 children (mean age = 8.3 y…
Prevalence and Relationships among Physical Activity Policy, Environment, and Practices in Licensed Childcare Centers from a Manager and Staff Perspective
Physical activity (PA) is critical to early childhood health and development, and childcare is a key setting for establishing physically active play. In British Columbia (BC), a provincial standard for active play in childcare was enacted, identified here as the Active Play (AP) standard. Pragmatic constraints limit real-world data collection for evaluating policy impact. We explored whether information about policies, practices, and the environm…
The Physical Activity and Sedentary Behaviour Patterns of Children in Kindergarten and Grade 2
Accompanying the transition from early to middle childhood are substantial changes in children's educational and recreational circumstances. These changes may affect physical activity levels. This study examined levels of physical activity and sedentary behaviours in kindergarten (age range 5−6 years) and grade 2 (age range 7−8 years). Participants were 96 kindergarten children recruited in the 2010−2011 and 2011−2012 school years and 94 grade 2 …
A systematic review of drop-out from organized soccer among children and adolescents
Walking Sole Mates
Dog walking is receiving increasing attention in the public health literature as a strategy to improve dog guardians' physical activity levels. Quantitative research suggests that dog guardians walk more often and for longer than non dog-guardians, and offers suggestions as to the reasons for these differences. The purpose of this study was to qualitatively explore dog guardians' walking practices and relationships with their dogs, to better unde…
Exercise behaviours of youths with intellectual disability under two conditions in a community programme
Behaviours of youths with intellectual disability (ID) during an exercise programme1 1. Funding support was provided by the Deborah Munroe Noonan Memorial Research Fund. were compared under two conditions: (1) two youths with ID were partnered with a typically developing peer (WTD); (2) two youths with ID partnered together (WID). The 12-week programme was conducted at a YMCA two days per week and included weight training and aerobic exercise. Ph…
