“…Other studies also have found BMI z-score decreased after participation in community-based physical activity and nutrition interventions [31,37]. We did not find a relationship between changes in MVPA and changes in BMI z-scores which may be due to the relatively small changes in MVPA and to the relatively short duration of SCFFF intervention.…”

“…There was moderate intervention effect (d=0.4) in the percentage of time spent in MVPA (1.1%), which is comparable to previous studies [36,37]. However, it is difficult to directly compare this study with others due to use of different cut points for MVPA [37] and devices [36].…”

The extant literature shows mixed results about the relationship between changes in MVPA and changes BMI z-scores [29,31,37,40]. Weight change is a complex issue influenced other factors such as nutrition [37].…”

The purpose of this study is to determine the effects of South County Food, Fitness and Fun (SCFFF), a 16-week community-based obesity prevention program, on children's moderate to vigorous physical activity (MVPA), physical fitness, body mass index (BMI), and BMI z-score. A non-randomized pre-test and post-test study design was used to assess changes in MVPA, physical fitness, BMI and BMI z-score from baseline to program end. MVPA was measured by accelerometer, physical fitness measured by Fitnessgram, and height and weight were measured by stadiometer and scale and used to calculate BMI. The analytic sample for this study included 53 children from nine SCFFF programs conducted between 2011-2016. There was a significant increase in the percentage of time children spent participating in MVPA (1.12%; p=0.022), curl-ups (p<0.001) and trunk lifts (p=0.004). BMI z-score decreased (p<0.001). Results reinforce the importance of offering community-based interventions that include caregivers to prevent excess weight gain in children.

“…From the study of the research work, based on the performance of motor preschoolers' skills, it was found that there are few reports in the international scientific area and almost non-existent in Greece and those existed are associated with another variable such as the Body Mass Index [27][28][29][30][31], physical activity [21], social skills [1,[32][33][34][35] and developmental disorders of neuromuscular splice [15,36,37].…”

Abstract:The purpose of this study was to observe record and compare the children's of early childhood performance of motor skills of different nationalities from Greece, Albania and Sweden. Additionally to investigate differences in motor performance between boys and girls and between age groups. The survey was conducted in the school years 2013-2014 and 2014-2015, and took place in the frame of the student exchange program ERASMUS internships of Preschool Education, University of Ioannina. The sample consisted of 369 infants (187 boys, 182 girls) aged 66 ± 7 months. The sample was selected according to the access that the team had in nursery schools of Ioannina (N1 = 133), in Dervitsani (N2 = 131) Albania and Gothenburg (N2 = 105) of Sweden. The array of 18 different motor activities for children aged 4-6 years old was used to investigate the toddlers' degree of movement performance. They were used the manufacturer's instructions for the degree of movement performance and classification of the sample in different categories, while a descriptive statistics and analysis of variance (Three Way ANOVA) took place for sex factors, age and region of origin. The results showed that although there were differences in rates distributions and averages, there were no significant differences either between children from the three countries or between boys and girls, however, there were in the age groups with older children who achieved better rates.

Multi-component behaviour-changing interventions that incorporate diet, physical activity and behaviour change may be beneficial in achieving small, short-term reductions in BMI, BMI z score and weight in children aged 6 to 11 years. The evidence suggests a very low occurrence of adverse events. The quality of the evidence was low or very low. The heterogeneity observed across all outcomes was not explained by subgrouping. Further research is required of behaviour-changing interventions in lower income countries and in children from different ethnic groups; also on the impact of behaviour-changing interventions on health-related quality of life and comorbidities. The sustainability of reduction in BMI/BMI z score and weight is a key consideration and there is a need for longer-term follow-up and further research on the most appropriate forms of post-intervention maintenance in order to ensure intervention benefits are sustained over the longer term.
