Promoting health and equity in schools
Children are increasingly disconnected from nature, particularly within the school setting, despite the potential for schools to influence children’s health and well-being. In 2021, government funding allowed for the creation of new outdoor learning (OL) spaces in elementary schools in Nova Scotia, Canada. We conducted an environmental scan to explore the state and impact of this OL funding for children’s health and well-being. All Nova Scotia el…
“Losing access to outdoor spaces was the biggest challenge for children to be healthy”
Introduction: Health-focused communities can promote physical activity for children by providing them with safe and supportive environments to move. Across the COVID-19 pandemic many community spaces and services were closed due to public health restrictions. During the pandemic, Atlantic Canada uniquely implemented an agreement between four provinces to restrict travel and reduce the spread of the virus. The "Atlantic bubble" led to fewer cases …
Impact of an outdoor loose parts play intervention on Nova Scotian preschoolers’ physical literacy

Child and youth physical activity throughout the Covid-19 pandemic
Exploring parents’ perceptions of preschoolers’ risky outdoor play using a socio-ecological lens
Outdoor play with its risks is necessary for optimal child development. Increasing attention is being paid to factors influencing children's opportunities for risky outdoor play, with parent/guardian (hereafter parent) perceptions being an important, under-researched topic. This research explored parents’ perceptions of preschoolers’ risky outdoor play. Interviews were held with 19 parents of preschoolers in Nova Scotia, Canada. Bronfenbrenner's …
The relationship between sedentary behaviour and physical literacy in Canadian children
These results highlight differences in the ways that screen and non-screen sedentary behaviours relate to physical literacy. Public health interventions should continue to target screen-based sedentary behaviours, given their potentially harmful associations with important aspects of physical literacy
Associations between teacher training and measures of physical literacy among Canadian 8- to 12-year-old students
While teacher training is hypothesized to contribute to the development of physical literacy among elementary school students, the observed effects in this study were either small or null. Children taught by PE specialists were more likely than those taught by generalists to demonstrate recommended levels of motivation and confidence, and to have better movement skills, which are hypothesized to be critical prerequisites for the development of a …
Physical literacy levels of Canadian children aged 8–12 years
These results provide the largest and most comprehensive assessment of physical literacy of Canadian children to date, providing a "state of the nation" baseline, and can be used to monitor changes and inform intervention strategies going forward
Cardiorespiratory fitness is associated with physical literacy in a large sample of Canadian children aged 8 to 12 years
This study identified strong favourable associations between CRF and physical literacy and its constituent components in children aged 8-12 years. Future research should investigate the sensitivity and specificity of the 20mSRT in screening those with low physical literacy levels
Do parental perceptions of the neighbourhood environment influence children’s independent mobility? Evidence from Toronto, Canada
Children’s independent mobility (CIM), or a child’s freedom to explore their neighbourhood unsupervised, is important for their psychological development and potentially enables daily physical activity. However, the correlates of CIM remain under-studied particularly in terms of the influence of the neighbourhood environment. Within this context, children’s independent mobility in Toronto, Canada, was examined using linear regression and ordered …
The “Path” Not Taken
Objectives. School route measurement often involves estimating the shortest network path. We challenged the relatively uncritical adoption of this method in school travel research and tested the route discordance hypothesis that several types of difference exist between shortest network paths and reported school routes. Methods. We constructed the mapped and shortest path through network routes for a sample of 759 children aged 9 to 13 years in g…
