Association between physical activity, nutritional status and cognitive performance among school children in southern Tanzania
Background: Physical activity is pivotal in promoting overall health and wellbeing, improving brain function and cognitive performance, and reducing risk of excessive weight and non-communicable diseases. Despite these benefits, physical inactivity among children and adolescents remains a global concern, particularly in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs). Only few studies have explored the association between physical activity, nutritional …
Effect of a School-Based Physical Activity and Multi-Micronutrient Supplementation Intervention on Cognitive Function and Academic Achievement Among Schoolchildren in Tanzania
PA and MMNS interventions showed no significant cognitive or academic improvements versus placebo. Further research should optimize school-based nutrition and PA programs for improved learning outcomes
Effect of physical activity and multi-micronutrient supplementation on body composition among Tanzanian schoolchildren
The study was registered on 9 August 2018, with ISRCTN. https://doi.org/10.1186/ISRCTN29534081
Moderate-to-Vigorous Physical Activity Is Associated With Cardiorespiratory Fitness Among Primary Schoolchildren Living in Côte d'Ivoire, South Africa, and Tanzania
Background: Physical inactivity and low cardiorespiratory fitness (CRF) are independent cardiovascular risk factors among children, but have rarely been investigated concurrently in sub-Saharan Africa. The purpose of this study was to compare physical activity (PA) and CRF of primary schoolchildren living in Côte d'Ivoire (CI), South Africa (ZA), and Tanzania (TZ), to test sex- and age-related differences, and to examine whether PA and CRF are as…
