“…Engaging in recommended PA levels also reduces cardiovascular diseases risk factors and mental health problems such as depression and anxiety . Moreover, the positive effects of regular PA in childhood persist unto adolescence and adulthood . On the other hand, lack of PA in childhood and adolescence is related to elevated blood pressure and insulin resistance in adulthood .…”

“…6 PA has been the focus of various programs designed to combat obesity and to prevent the known decline of PA among older children in middle school. 7 As PA is also linked to the improvement of children's fine and gross motor skills necessary to succeed in academics, 9 and as children spend a considerable amount of time in schools, schools are particularly encouraged to promote PA through play and physical education. 10 The National Association of Sport and Physical Education (NASPE) has recommended that children aged 5 to 12 years old engage in at least 60 minutes of appropriate PA per day.…”

BACKGROUND Physical activity (PA) has long been acknowledged to contribute health benefits among children. However, research has consistently shown that PA declines as children grow older. Thus, this study examined the factors which are associated to children's PA in order to identify potential barriers to PA. METHODS Using data from the KidQuest Program, we conducted bivariate and multivariate analyses on survey data collected from fifth to seventh grade students in a small Midwestern city. RESULTS We found that food knowledge, eating breakfast, and talking with family about eating healthy foods, are positively related to PA. On the other hand, screen time is negatively related to PA. In addition, our results evinced differences between ethnicities and found that Latino children's screen time affects their PA levels more than their white counterpart. CONCLUSIONS There are different factors which can be tapped to increase PA among middle school‐aged children. Given the differences between the Latino and white samples especially in screen time, schools should consider individualized intervention, rather than a “one size fits all” program, to increase PA participation.

The article describes the opinion of teachers of physical culture of the cities of Orenburg and Aktobe on the factors that determine the level of physical fitness and physical development of schoolchildren. Relatively reduced quantitative values of their teachers of Aktobe are shown. Among the factors determining the level of physical fitness and physical development of schoolchildren, teachers identified the material base, lack of organization of special medical groups, inconsistency of physical development with the passport age, undue development of independent work programs, homework to improve schoolchildren's physical fitness, low motivation and indifference of parents. The lag of Aktobe schoolchildren from their peers from Orenburg in the development of speed, speed-strength qualities, body length, vital index, arterial pressure was revealed. Ways of improving the physical fitness of schoolchildren are presented, namely, recommendations on the development of independent work programs, homework assignments, work with parents, a set of exercises for the development of lagging physical qualities, respiratory muscles. The contribution of the article to world science are: data on the physical development and physical fitness of schoolchildren of Orenburg and Aktobe compared with similar data from the 90s of the last century; information about the opinion of teachers of physical culture on the factors that determine the level of physical fitness and physical development of schoolchildren; recommendations to teachers of physical culture to optimize the physical training of schoolchildren.

The reasons for the unsatisfactory state of health of schoolchildren of secondary schools and the level of their physical preparedness is the lack of scientifically substantiated system of physical education of schoolchildren [3,33,42].…”

Purpose:to analyze the state of physical education in secondary schools of Ukraine and to observe hygienic requirements during physical education lessons. Material:the study was attended by schoolchildren (n=40, age -12-13 years) and schoolchildren of specialized sports classes (n=40, age -14-16 years). Studied: the level of physical health; functional state of the respiratory and cardiovascular systems; the state of energy supply of children's organism; the influence of mobile games on the functional capabilities of the body of children. To study the effects of physical exercises on the development of the muscular system of children, excretion of creatinine with urine was studied. Results:high levels of physical and functional status of young players are noticed. These data are significantly higher than similar data from their peers from non-sports classes. In the course of systematic training and competitions, excretion of creatinine decreases at the end of the season to 0.8 g/l. These changes point to a decrease in energy resources and are consistent with a decrease in the rapid qualities of young players (as a measure of overall physical fitness). In this group of pupils, there were 2-4% lessons in the classes: mostly because of colds. In schoolchildren of ordinary schools, indicators of physical development and functional status were significantly worse. The indicators of the lung capacity were 3500-3800 ml. The distance of 30 m children ran for 5,5±0,4 seconds. The index of the brush dynamometer was 35±1,8 kg. The results of the recovery of the heart rate after the metered loading were from 2 to 3 minutes. There is a shortage of body weight in 12% of schoolchildren. There is an overweight in 1,8% of schoolchildren. Conclusions:in the structure of children's morbidity a high level of respiratory diseases, gastrointestinal tract, and eyes is allocated. Therefore, when taking physical training, such data should be taken into account. It is also necessary to take into account the level of individual somatic health, which leads to a safe area of intense motor activity.
