“…Because of this wide range of perspectives, the forum was specifically structured to share cross-disciplinary efforts on DI and PA assessment tools for EE and health status. The forum resulted in expert review papers on technology innovations in three age cohorts that are published concurrently with this commentary: "Advances and Controversies in Diet and Physical Activity Measurement in Youth" 12 ; "Dietary Intake and Physical Activity Assessment: Current Tools, Techniques, and Technologies for Use in Adult Populations" 13 ; and "Diet and Physical Activity Assessment and Interventions Using Technology in Special Populations: Older Adults." 14…”

“…We will manipulate the overnight sleep duration of healthy school-aged children aged 8-12 years who exhibit no sleep disturbances, in order to assess whether a mild level of sleep deprivation that is common in children affects what, when and how they eat. Using actigraphy across the full 24-h day to measure sleep, sedentary behaviour, and time spent in light, moderate and vigorous activity [43,49], combined with wearable cameras to provide a passive, but highly informative way of "seeing" first-hand how children spend their time [35,36], will provide novel data to determine whether sleep deprivation influences patterns of activity and eating behaviours. All children will undergo two experimental sleep conditions, sleep restriction and sleep extension.…”

© 2019 The Author(s). Background: Although insufficient sleep has emerged as a strong, independent risk factor for obesity in children, the mechanisms by which insufficient sleep leads to weight gain are uncertain. Observational research suggests that being tired influences what children eat more than how active they are, but only experimental research can determine causality. Few experimental studies have been undertaken to determine how reductions in sleep duration might affect indices of energy balance in children including food choice, appetite regulation, and sedentary time. The primary aim of this study is to objectively determine whether mild sleep deprivation increases energy intake in the absence of hunger. Methods: The Daily, Rest, Eating, and Activity Monitoring (DREAM) study is a randomized controlled trial investigating how mild sleep deprivation influences eating behaviour and activity patterns in children using a counterbalanced, cross-over design. One hundred and ten children aged 8-12 years, with normal reported sleep duration of 8-11 h per night will undergo 2 weeks of sleep manipulation; seven nights of sleep restriction by going to bed 1 hr later than usual, and seven nights of sleep extension going to bed 1 hr earlier than usual, separated by a washout week. During each experimental week, 24-h movement behaviours (sleep, physical activity, sedentary behaviour) will be measured via actigraphy; dietary intake and context of eating by multiple 24-h recalls and wearable camera images; and eating behaviours via objective and subjective methods. At the end of each experimental week a feeding experiment will determine energy intake from eating in the absence of hunger. Differences between sleep conditions will be determined to estimate the effects of reducing sleep duration by 1-2 h per night. Discussion: Determining how insufficient sleep predisposes children to weight gain should provide much-needed information for improving interventions for the effective prevention of obesity, thereby decreasing long-term morbidity and healthcare burden.

“…Subjective measures tend to be subject to bias (i.e., low validity or accuracy) and unreliability (or imprecision). 80 Both active and passive methods of more objective dietary intake assessment 81 are being developed and refined for use in uncontrolled community settings and should be considered for future use as measures of outcome of games for nutrition education. G4H researchers need to expend substantially more effort to enhance the quality of this research if for no other reason than selfinterest, that is, to increase the likelihood of obtaining funding for future research.…”

Games provide an attractive venue for engaging participants and increasing nutrition-related knowledge and dietary behavior change, but no review has appeared devoted to this literature. A scoping review of nutrition education and dietary behavior change videogames or interactive games was conducted. A systematic search was made of PubMed, Agricola, and Google Scholar. Information was abstracted from 22 publications. To be included, the publication had to include a videogame or interactive experience involving games (a videogame alone, minigames inserted into a larger multimedia experience, or game as part of a human-delivered intervention); game's design objective was to influence dietary behavior, a psychosocial determinant of a dietary behavior, or nutrition knowledge (hereinafter referred to as diet-related); must have been reported in English and must have appeared in a professional publication, including some report of outcomes or results (thereby passing some peer review). This review was restricted to the diet-related information in the selected games. Diversity in targeted dietary knowledge and intake behaviors, targeted populations/audiences, game mechanics, behavioral theories, research designs, and findings was revealed. The diversity and quality of the research in general was poor, precluding a meta-analysis or systematic review. All but one of the studies reported some positive outcome from playing the game(s). One reported that a web-based education program resulted in more change than the game-based intervention. Studies of games may have been missed; a number of dietary/nutrition games are known for which no evaluation is known; and the data presented on the games and research were limited and inconsistent. Conclusions and Implications: A firmer research base is needed to establish the efficacy and effectiveness of nutrition education and dietary behavior change games.
