“…This is the first study to develop intensity thresholds for both the VA and the VM for a wrist-worn Actigraph accelerometer in preschool children. A previous study has been performed in two-year-olds, using an almost identical protocol as in this study [ 20 ], as well as in 8–12 years olds [ 11 ]. Compared to those, the intensity thresholds developed in this study were higher.…”

IntroductionTo determine time spent at different physical activity intensities, accelerometers need calibration. The aim of this study was to develop and cross-validate intensity thresholds for the Actigraph GT3X+ accelerometer for wrist and hip placement in four-year-old children.MethodsIn total 30 children (49 months, SD 3.7) were recruited from five preschools in Stockholm. Equipped with an accelerometer on the wrist and another on the hip, children performed three indoor activities and one free-play session while being video recorded. Subsequently, physical activity intensity levels were coded every 5th second according to the Children’s Activity Rating Scale. Receiver Operating Characteristic (ROC) curves was used to develop wrist and hip intensity thresholds, the upper threshold for sedentary, and lower threshold for moderate-to-vigorous physical activity (MVPA), for the vertical axis (VA) and for the vector magnitude (VM). A leave-one-out method was used to cross-validate the thresholds.ResultsIntensity thresholds for wrist placement were ≤ 178 (VA) and ≤ 328 (VM) for sedentary and ≥ 871 (VA) and ≥ 1393 (VM) counts/5 seconds for MVPA. The corresponding thresholds for hip placement were ≤ 43 (VA) and ≤ 105 (VM) for sedentary and ≥ 290 (VA) and ≥ 512 (VM) for MVPA. The quadratic weighted Kappa was 0.92 (95% CI 0.91–0.93) (VA) and 0.95 (95% CI 0.94–0.96) (VM) for the wrist-worn accelerometer and 0.76 (98% CI 0.74–0.77) and 0.86 (95% CI 0.85–0.87) for the hip-worn.ConclusionUsing wrist placement and the VM when measuring physical activity with accelerometry in 4-year-old children is recommended.

“…Kolase adalah teknik menggabungkan beberapa objek menjadi satu (Fang, Wang, Zhang, & Qin, 2017). Kegiatan kolase juga dapat menghasilkan suatu karya seni, sehingga anak yang melakukan kegiatan ini akan merasa senang dan anak juga dapat menikmati atas hasil karya yang telah dibuat (Johansson et al, 2015). Dengan menggunakan kegiatan kolase diharapkan dapat meningkatkan kemampuan motorik halus anak terutamadalam melatih kemampuan jari-jemari tangan, keterampilan menggunakan tangan kanan dan kiri dalam berbagai aktivitas.…”

“…Therefore, promoting a healthy lifestyle in coping with the obesogenic environment is of specific importance for children at high risk of obesity [ 9 ]. Results from studies on preschool [ 10 ] and primary school children [ 11 ] show that physical activity (PA) can contribute to the reduction of childhood obesity [ 12 ]. Thus the health implications of PA during the early years cannot be overlooked.…”

BackgroundPhysical activity (PA) is associated with health benefits, already in childhood. However, little is known about actual levels, patterns and gender differences in PA level in very young children. This study examines Chinese one-year-old children and their parents’ PA levels and patterns, and assesses the correlations between children’s PA level and gender, body mass index standard deviation score (BMI SDS), parental BMI and parental PA level.MethodsData from 123 families participating in the Early STOPP China study were used. Families were recruited based on parental BMI and were classified as either high-risk or low-risk of obesity. Parents and children wore an ActiGraph GT3X+ to assess the average PA levels. PA levels and hourly patterns during weekdays and weekends were examined as were correlations with gender, BMI SDS, parental BMI and parental PA levels.ResultsThere were no significant differences in children’s averaged PA between risk groups, genders, or between weekdays and weekends. Children’s peak average activity level was at 7 pm and they were least active at 3 pm (p<0.001). Both mothers and fathers demonstrated a similar PA pattern as their children, although paternal PA level was consistently lower than that of mothers and children. No significant association was found between children’s PA and their gender, BMI SDS, parental BMI or paternal PA levels. Maternal PA was found positively associated with child PA (p<0.05).ConclusionPA in one-year-old Chinese children vary over the day but weekdays and weekends are similar. At this age, children’s PA is not related to gender, BMI SDS, parental BMI or paternal PA. Larger scale studies with more contextual information are needed to improve the understanding of our findings.
