  • Predictors of children’s physical activity in the early years foundation stage

    Open AccessLorayne Woodfield, Allison Tatton et al.ARTICLEJournal of Early Childhood Research2021Cited by: 1

    The physical activity (PA) of young children is critical to their future activity, health and development, however, little is known about how the organisation of early years foundation stage (EYFS) settings impacts upon children’s PA. This study aimed to measure the PA of children in Nursery and Reception classes and to explore their PA according to learning context. Participants were 191 EYFS children (boys = 89; girls 102; Mean age M = 4.6, SD …

  • Tracking Children’s Physical Activity Patterns across the School Year

    Open AccessIrfan Khawaja, Lorayne Woodfield et al.ARTICLEChildren2020

    Despite the breadth of health benefits associated with regular physical activity (PA), many children in the UK are not sufficiently active enough to meet health guidelines, and tend to become less active as they mature into and throughout adolescence. Research has indicated that children's school, home and neighbourhood environments can all significantly influence their opportunities to engage in moderate-to-vigorous physical activity (MVPA). How…

  • Evaluation of a Walking-Track Intervention to Increase Children’s Physical Activity during Primary School Break Times

    Open AccessEmma Powell, Lorayne Woodfield et al.ARTICLEChildren2018

    Despite the known benefits of engaging in daily moderate to vigorous physical activity (MVPA), only 22% of children in England are meeting the recommended guidelines. School break times have been advocated as a key part of children's daily routines in which their MVPA can be increased. The main aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of installing a walking-track on children's MVPA during school break times. A mixed method design was employe…

  • We have to wait in a queue for our turn quite a bit’

    Open AccessEmma Powell, Lorayne Woodfield et al.ARTICLEEuropean Physical Education Review2018Cited by: 2References: 4

    The overall purpose of this study was to examine children’s physical activity (PA) during primary physical education (PE). This was achieved through the following two research objectives: (1) to measure children’s PA, lesson context and teacher promotion of PA during PE lessons; and (2) to explore teachers’ and children’s perspectives on PA levels during PE lessons. Evidence suggests that children’s PA during PE is below recommended levels and fu…

  • Children’s physical activity levels during primary school break times

    Open AccessEmma Powell, Lorayne Woodfield et al.ARTICLEEuropean Physical Education Review2015Cited by: 1References: 2

    The overall aim of this study was to assess the diversity of primary school children’s physical activity (PA) during outdoor recess. The study was grounded in a mixed method approach, assisting in the identification of multifaceted predictors of children’s PA, including insights to social behaviours during break time. Data were obtained from children aged 7–10 years across five primary schools in the West Midlands, United Kingdom. Data were colle…

  • Efficacy of an integrated school curriculum pedometer intervention to enhance physical activity and to reduce weight status in children

    Open AccessMichael Duncan, Michael J Duncan et al.ARTICLEEuropean Physical Education Review2012References: 1

    The purpose of this study was to examine the efficacy of an integrated school curriculum pedometer intervention on children’s physical activity and weight status. Following ethics approval and informed consent, 59 children (22 boys, 27 girls, aged 10–11) from a primary school in central England completed a four-week integrated physical activity intervention based on virtually walking from John O’Groats to Lands End. Habitual physical activity and…

  • Body fatness and physical activity levels of young children

    Open AccessYahya Al‐nakeeb, Yahya Al-Nakeeb et al.ARTICLEAnnals of Human Biology2007

    Despite the prediction to the contrary, there was no evidence of a significant relationship between percentage body fat of children and time spent in moderate and vigorous activity. Additionally, while there were no significant gender differences in physical activity patterns, children were more physically active during weekdays than weekends
