“…According our findings substantial part of boys and girls are not participating in MVPA as recommended. This is in line with previous other findings from the Czech Republic (Frömel, Pelclová, Skalik, Nováková-Lokvencová, & Mitáš, 2012; and Central European region (Bergier, Kapka-Skrzypczak, Bilinski, Paprzycki, & Wojtyla, 2012;Biddle et al, 2009;Hamar, Biddle, Soos, Takacs, & Huszar, 2010;Hoffmann, Bryl, Marcinkowski, Strazynska, & Pupek-Musialik, 2011;Soos et al, 2012). Although the minimum recommended daily step count is not achieved by a non-negligible part of the Czech adolescent population, they are still considered active walkers .…”

Background: It is well described that moderate-to-vigorous physical activity improves the health status of children and adolescents. Thus, monitoring the levels of physical activity together with the motives to perform is critical for future programs aiming to enhance physical activity in youth and young adults in the Czech Republic and further afield in other Central and Eastern European nations that are in transition. Objective: The aim of this study is to provide basic overview about moderate-to-vigorous physical activity (MVPA), vigorous physical activity (VPA) and motives to physical activity of Czech adolescents on the basis of gender and age group. Methods: Data from the Health Behaviour in School-aged Children (HBSC) study conducted in May-June 2010 in the Czech Republic. The sample consisted of 4,385 Czech pupils (48.5% boys; age 11, n = 418; age 13, n = 1,449; age 15, n = 1,518). Chi-square test of independence was used to provide basic comparison on basis of gender and age groups. Results: A substantial part of boys and girls are not participating in MVPA and VPA as recommended. MVPA and VPA among girls significantly decreased from age 11 to age 15. Boys compared to girls reported significantly more moderate-tovigorous and vigorous physical activities in all age groups, except 11 years old adolescents where the level of MVPA among girls and boys did not differ. Girls appear to be more influenced by social motives. Importance of these motives became higher with increasing age. Achievement motivation for physical activity is more important for boys and it also is increasing with age. Conclusions: Better understanding of the motives for physical activity as well as gender and age based differences in physical activity levels can significantly contribute to better planning of national and local intervention promoting active living.

“…Our study showed that more than half of the children exceeded the screen time recommended by the AAP (2001) and these findings are also consistent with other countries (Bobakova et al, 2014;Bucksch et al, 2014;Hamar et al, 2009;Soos et al, 2012). Moreover, the findings suggest that the older children had a strong tendency to spend more leisure time on screenbased activities, as well as the boys being more likely than the girls to report excessive time spent playing PC games, which is in line with prior research showing the importance of media in adolescents' lives (Hamar et al, 2009;Livingstone et al, 2011;Marshall, Gorely, & Biddle, 2006;Melkevik, Torsheim, Iannotti, & Wold, 2010;Soos et al, 2012). Bucksch et al (2014), for example, highlight the fact that 15 year old girls in Germany showed sharper increases in PC use than boys over time, especially for non-gaming purposes.…”

Background The use of ecological momentary assessment (EMA) to measure sedentary behavior (SB) in children, adolescents, and adults can increase the understanding of the role of the context of SB in health outcomes. Objective The aim of this study was to systematically review literature to describe EMA methodology used in studies on SB in youth and adults, verify how many studies adhere to the Methods aspect of the Checklist for Reporting EMA Studies (CREMAS), and detail measures used to assess SB and this associated context. Methods A systematic literature review was conducted in the PubMed, Scopus, Web of Science, PsycINFO, Cumulative Index to Nursing and Allied Health Literature (CINAHL), and SPORTDiscus databases, covering the entire period of existence of the databases until January 2018. Results This review presented information about the characteristics and methodology used in 21 articles that utilized EMA to measure SB in youth and adults. There were more studies conducted among youth compared with adults, and studies of youth included more waves and more participants (n=696) than studies with adults (n=97). Most studies (85.7%) adhered to the Methods aspect of the CREMAS. The main criteria used to measure SB in EMA were self-report (81%) with only 19% measuring SB using objective methods (eg, accelerometer). The main equipment to collect objective SB was the ActiGraph, and the cutoff point to define SB was <100 counts/min. Studies most commonly used a 15-min window to compare EMA and accelerometer data. Conclusions The majority of studies in this review met minimum CREMAS criteria for studies conducted with EMA. Most studies measured SB with EMA self-report (n=17; 81.0%), and a few studies also used objective methods (n=4; 19%). The standardization of the 15-min window criteria to compare EMA and accelerometer data would lead to a comparison between these and new studies. New studies using EMA with mobile phones should be conducted as they can be considered an attractive method for capturing information about the specific context of SB activities of young people and adults in real time or very close to it.
