Formative Evaluation of an Early Family-Centred Prevention Programme for Childhood Overweight and Obesity (FruehstArt)
Background: Early childhood obesity is an urgent public health challenge, with long-term health risks. The 12-month fruehstArt intervention aims to improve healthcare for 3 to 6-year-olds with overweight and obesity in Germany through a family-centred approach, including home-based counselling with coaches, paediatric consultations, and a supportive web application for both German- and Turkish-speaking families. This process evaluation will exami…
Psychological outcomes of depression after legally enforced quarantine during the Covid-19 pandemic
The findings suggest the need for tailored interventions to help both ISFDs and INSFDs develop coping strategies and resilience during quarantines. Ensuring that sufficient therapeutic services and support are available for ISFDs is crucial for maintaining good mental health
School-based promotion of physical literacy
Introduction The role of physical activity in children’s healthy development is undisputed, with school-based interventions being seen as a priority. The promotion of physical literacy (PL) seems to be promising due to its holistic approach, combining physical, cognitive, and affective domains. To develop recommendations for possible measures, we compiled existing literature on existing school-based PL interventions. Methods Five databases (MEDLI…
Secular Trend of Self-Concept in the Context of Childhood Obesity—Data from the CHILT III Programme, Cologne
Juvenile obesity is associated with a lower self-concept. Given the continued prevalence of obesity, we examined the secular trend of body mass index standard deviation score (BMI-SDS) and self-concept in participants of a German weight management programme ( n = 242, 53.3% female, mean age 12.5 ± 2.1 years, mean BMI-SDS 2.45 ± 0.46) over a period of 15 years. Anthropometric data, physical fitness (watt/kg), and demographic data were assessed. Th…
Maternal Exercise during Pregnancy Impacts Motor Performance in 9-Year-Old Children
The benefits of maternal physical activity during pregnancy are well documented, but long-term effects on the child have been less studied. Therefore, we conducted a pilot follow-up study of a lifestyle intervention during pregnancy that aimed to investigate whether exercise (endurance and strength training) during pregnancy affects motor performance and body composition of children up to 9 years of age, as well as possible influencing factors li…

Development of a German Physical Literacy Assessment for Children in the Context of Health Promotion—An Explorative Approach
Addressing physical literacy (PL) has become increasingly relevant to counteract sedentary behaviour in children and youth. We developed an assessment tool to measure and evaluate the promotion of individual PL and its four subdomains: motivation and confidence (the affective dimension), physical competence (physical dimension), knowledge and understanding (cognitive dimension), and participation in physical activity. Within this cross-sectional …
Correlation between Language Development and Motor Skills, Physical Activity, and Leisure Time Behaviour in Preschool-Aged Children
Sedentary behaviour has a negative impact on children’s physical and mental health. However, limited data are available on language development. Therefore, this pilot study aimed to analyse the associations between language development and possible predictors such as motor skills and leisure time behaviour in preschool-aged children. Methods: In this cross-sectional analysis, motor skills and speech development status were assessed in 49 healthy …
Homa Index, Vitamin D Levels, Body Composition and Cardiorespiratory Fitness in Juvenile Obesity
Juvenile obesity is associated with insulin resistance, among other comorbidities. In the pathogenesis of insulin-resistance-related diseases, including obesity and diabetes, Vitamin D deficiency is very common. Therefore, the relationship between insulin resistance, body composition, vitamin D level, and cardiorespiratory fitness in obese children and youth were analyzed based on the Children's Health InterventionaL Trial III project, Germany. D…
Changes in Motor Performance and BMI of Primary School Children over Time–Influence of the Covid-19 Confinement and Social Burden
During the COVID-19 pandemic, physical inactivity and being overweight increased in children, especially those from lower socioeconomic backgrounds. Additionally, a decrease in motor performance has been increasingly reported; however, there is a lack of meaningful data on the relationship between these findings and socioeconomic status. Therefore, we examined the BMI, BMI z score, the prevalence of overweight/obesity, and motor performance (base…
Relationship between Physical Activity and the Metabolic, Inflammatory Axis in Pregnant Participants
Physical activity (PA) during pregnancy is beneficial for mother and child. Little is known regarding the effects of PA on specific adipokines/myokines and their impact during pregnancy. This study investigates the correlation between PA during late pregnancy, body composition, and maternal levels of leptin, IL-6, and TNF-α at delivery. In a cross-sectional study of 91 pregnant participants (mean age 33.9 ± 4.6 years) without gestational diabetes…
Predicting Psychosocial Health of Children and Adolescents with Obesity in Germany
Background : The aim of this study was to analyze the inhibitory and promotive factors of psychosocial health in the context of childhood obesity, incorporating physical fitness as an additional, potentially relevant predictor. Methods : The sample comprised cross-sectional data of 241 children and adolescents with obesity and overweight from the German Children's Health InterventionaL TriaL III program (12.5 ± 2.1 years; 51.9% girls). Demographi…
Closing the gap between practice and science in school- and community-based participatory physical literacy promotion
Although the efficacy of using community-based and capacity building approaches to reach children is promising, there remains a gap regarding best practices for changing existing structures and habits over the long term and in the sense of promoting physical literacy
