A network psychometric analysis to advance the understanding of children’s physical literacy
Despite growing interest in children’s physical literacy (PL), limited research has examined the relative importance of its constituent elements from children’s own perspectives using network-based methods. This study employed network psychometrics to identify the key elements (i.e., nodes with high centrality in the PL elements network) of PL based on children’s self-perception. A total of 1,520 Chinese children (752 girls, 49.5%; 768 boys, 50.5…

This study employed a cross-sectional design with network analysis to investigate the complex relationships between personality traits, emotions, and motivations, iden…
Video Echoed in Harmony
Automatically generating video background music mitigates the inefficiency and time-consuming drawbacks of current manual video editing. Two key challenges hinder the expansion of the inception of video-to-music tasks. 1) Limited availability of high-quality video–music datasets and annotations. 2) Absence of music generation methods that consider actual musicality, which are controlled by interpretable factors based on music theory. In the artic…

Associations of meeting 24-h movement guidelines with stress and self-rated health among adults
Adults who meet the sleep guideline, any combination of two guidelines, or all three guidelines experience stress less frequently. Meeting the MVPA guideline alone or in combination with any other movement behaviour guideline was associated with better self-rated health. The likelihood of less frequent stress and better self-rated health increases with the number of guidelines met. Adults should be encouraged to meet as many movement behaviour gu…
