Associations between outdoor play features and children's behavior and health
Quality of the Opportunities for Preschoolers’ Physical Activity in Portuguese Kindergartens
Kindergarten’s physical and social environment influences preschoolers’ physical activity (PA) and impacts their development. This study aimed first to describe the quality of the opportunities provided by the physical attributes and social guidelines to promote PA and, second, to investigate the relationship between design attributes and daily practices to support PA in sixteen Portuguese kindergartens (15 public). The Children’s Physical Enviro…
Kindergarten Affordances for Physical Activity and Preschoolers’ Motor and Social-Emotional Competence
This study examined the relationship between the quality of the kindergarten physical and social environment to promote physical activity (PA) and preschoolers' motor and social-emotional competence. Two Portuguese kindergartens (Gondomar city) were selected from a pool of seventeen with an assessment of kindergarten PA best practices (one with high PA practices, the other with low). Thirty-six children (M = 4.42; SD = 1.00 years) without neuromo…
Playing at the Schoolyard
Play has a key role in children psychomotor development, and the quality of play spaces can be a facilitator of the former. The physical properties of the environment, such as equipment or material available, can influence children's behavior. However, it is not clear how the provision of different loose parts impacts children's play patterns. This study aimed to analyze the influence of four types of loose parts on the time, frequency and number…
A geotecnologia Smart Geo Layers (SGeoL) e sua aplicação para as políticas públicas
Seguindo o perfil deste dossiê que visa discutir metodologias de Pesquisa em Inteligência Territorial, o presente artigo busca detalhar a metodologia científica e tecnologia aplicada ao Smart Geo Layers (SGeoL), plataforma para gerenciamento e integração de dados, uma inovadora tecnologia desenvolvida pelo IMD/UFRN utilizada no Painel de Segurança Hídrica (PSH). A plataforma SGeoL fornece suporte para integração, visualização, organização e sobre…
Learning to Cycle
Background Learning to cycle is an important milestone for children, but the popularity of cycling and the environmental factors that promote the development and practice of this foundational movement skill vary among cultures and across time. This present study aimed to investigate if country of residence and the generation in which a person was born influence the age at which people learn to cycle. Methods Data were collected through an online …
The Relationship between the Quality of Kindergartens’ Outdoor Physical Environment and Preschoolers’ Social Functioning
The ability to initiate and engage in relationships is a critical landmark and predictor of children’s development and well-being. In kindergarten, children exhibit greater social participation outdoors rather than indoors. Indeed, the physical environment influences preschoolers’ social proximity. In this study, we examine the relationship between the quality of kindergartens’ outdoor physical environment and preschoolers’ social functioning. Tw…
Learning to Cycle
Children who used the BB as the first bike had a significantly lower LA than children who did not use it ( p 0.001). To maximize its effects, the BB should be used in the beginning of the learning process
Learning to Cycle
The present article aimed to verify whether the age at which children learn to ride a bicycle is related to their physical activity or birth order. Data were collected from an online structured survey between November 2019 and June 2020. A total of 8614 responses were obtained from 22 countries. The results reveal significant differences in learning age depending on the frequency of physical activity (F(5, 7235) = 35.12, p 2 = 0.24). People who e…
