“…Primary studies in these reviews ranged from 3-50 and were often either observational or interventions of low quality. In the current update, we located a further 25 systematic reviews -a 3.6-fold increase and essentially 3-4 new reviews per year (Alvarez-Bueno, Pesce, Cavero-Redondo, Sanchez-Lopez, Garrido-Miguel, et al, 2017;Alvarez-Bueno, Pesce, Cavero-Redondo, Sanchez-Lopez, Martinez-Hortelano, et al, 2017;Busch et al, 2014;Bustamante, Williams, & Davis, 2016;Cerrillo-Urbina et al, 2015;de Greeff, Bosker, Oosterlaan, Visscher, & Hartman, 2018;Den Heijer et al, 2017;Donnelly et al, 2016;Esteban-Cornejo, Tejero-Gonzalez, Sallis, & Veiga, 2015;Ferreira-Vorkapic et al, 2015;Jackson, Davis, Sands, Whittington, & Sun, 2016;Lees & Hopkins, 2013;Marques, Gomez, Martins, Catunda, & Sarmento, 2017;Marques, Santos, Hillman, & Sardinha, 2017;Martin et al, 2018;Mura, Vellante, Nardi, Machado, & Carta, 2015;Poitras et al, 2016;Rasberry et al, 2011; Ruiz-Ariza, Grao-Cruces, de Loureiro, & Martinez-Lopez, 2017;Singh, Uijtdewilligen, Twisk, van Mechelen, & Chinapaw, 2012;J.

Objectives. Evidence concerning physical activity and mental health remains less well documented for children and adolescents. An updated review of systematic reviews and meta-analyses was undertaken concerning physical activity and mental health in children and adolescents, and to judge the extent to which associations can be considered causal. Methods. Systematic reviews and meta-analyses were identified to update our previous review of reviews (Biddle & Asare, 2011), with papers identified between November 2010 and the end of 2017. Criteria were used to judge causality (Hill, 1965), including strength of association, dose-response association, and experimental evidence. Results. Since 2011, the quantity (k=42 reviews) and quality of research has increased in depression (evidence from 10 reviews), self-esteem (10 reviews) and cognitive functioning (25 reviews). Anxiety had only three new, small, reviews. Intervention effects for depression are moderate in strength while observational data show only small or null associations. Variable effect sizes are evident from interventions for the reduction of anxiety and improvement in self-esteem. Higher or improved fitness and physical activity are associated with better cognitive health and performance. There was partial support for a causal association with depression, a lack of support for self-esteem, but support for cognitive functioning. Conclusions. There are significant increases in research activity concerning physical activity and depression, self-esteem, and cognitive functioning in young people. The strongest evidence for a causal association appears to be for cognitive functioning, and there is partial evidence for depression.

“…Physical fitness includes performance-related fitness (which refers to those components of fitness that are necessary for optimal work or sport performance (Shephard & Bouchard, 1994;Artero et al, 2010)) and health-related fitness (which considers the ability to perform daily activities). Given the increasing prevalence of overweight/obesity and the reduction of habitual physical activity early in age (World Health Organization, 2000), the investigation of prepubertal children in respect of physical fitness and anthropometry and body composition is especially important for effective intervention such as reduced energy intake, increased physical activity and decreased sedentary behavior (Martin et al, 2018). In fact, it has been found that children who were fit and active at 10 years of age have had better physical fitness at 6 years of age vs. peers who were less fit and sedentary (De Souza et al, 2014).…”

Purpose The determinants of physical fitness in children have been given limited attention. In particular, the relative role of chronological age, sex, anthropometry, and body composition in physical fitness of children has been barely investigated. This cross-sectional study investigated determinants of physical fitness using a set of predictive variables including, in addition to chronological age and sex, a large panel of anthropometric measurements as well as body composition. The study was carried out in a convenience sample of children aged 6–12 participating in a summer camp. Methods One-hundred-ninety-three children (128 males) fulfilled all requirements and entered analysis. Health-related physical fitness components (speed, muscular power and balance) were explored by means of field tests, namely the 30-m dash test for running speed, the standing long jump and the seated chest pass test for lower limbs and upper body muscular power, respectively, and the flamingo balance test for static balance. Determinants of physical fitness were investigated by regression analysis using chronological age, sex, anthropometry, and body composition in a hierarchical approach. To minimize the expected effect of collinearity in predictor variables, an original statistical approach using Random Forests analysis was adopted. Results Age predicted 45.2%, 43.6%, 35.6% and 25.6%; and sex 9.5%, 10.7%, 6.3% and 2.0% of variance in the 30-m dash, seated chest pass, standing long jump, and flamingo balance test, respectively. Anthropometry and body composition explained a limited or no percentage of variance. The adjusted R2 (root mean square error) was 0.61 (0.31 s), 0.45 (0.32 m), 0.58 (0.15 m) and 0.41 (0.75 logs) for the 30-m dash, seated chest pass, standing long jump, and flamingo balance test, respectively making these models useful when physical fitness tests are not feasible. Conclusions We highlighted the respective role of chronological age, sex, anthropometry, and body composition in physical fitness of children in the wide age range 6–12 years. Data confirm and expand on previous literature by showing with a strictly conservative statistical approach that chronological age is a main determinant of physical fitness of both boys and girls, sex playing a limited role. The role of anthropometry was even less important, and no role was found for body composition. These findings should be considered when planning/implementing motor development or physical education programs.

“…One possibility to emphasise physical activity in lifestyle interventions is to involve a physiotherapist in the treatment. An increase in physical activity may have many positive effects: promote the children's self‐efficacy , improve cognitive functions , give parents additional means for support and act as role models and foster cooperation and support within the family . It has also been claimed that regular physical activity, that is, training daily or every second day, was the most important factor for long‐term maintenance of weight loss in adults with obesity .…”
