“…Effect sizes from parent-proxy reports in descriptive studies were variable. Although one study found a large association between physical activity and HRQOL (Norris et al, 2010), the remaining studies found non-significant associations (Lim et al, 2014;Jalali-Farahani et al, 2016;Michels et al, 2016). Interestingly, Norris et al (2010) found a large association based on parent-proxy reports but no association between child-reported physical activity and HRQOL.…”

Physical activity is associated with broad physical and psychological benefits in children and adolescents. One construct which may universally characterize functioning across various pediatric populations is health-related quality of life (HRQOL). A number of studies have found positive associations between physical activity and HRQOL; however, to date no systematic review and meta-analysis of physical activity and HRQOL has successfully quantified effects in children and adolescents. A systematic search of PubMed, PsycINFO, and ProQuest Dissertation Abstracts identified 1081 relevant, non-duplicate articles. Out of these possible articles, 33 studies, including both descriptive and pre-post intervention designs, met inclusion criteria and were included in effect size analyses. In descriptive studies, there was a small, positive effect of physical activity on HRQOL based on child-reports (Hedge's g = .302, p < .001) and a negligible effect based on parent-proxy reports (Hedge's g =.115, p =.101). In intervention studies, there was a small, positive effect of physical activity intervention on HRQOL based on child-reports (Hedge's g = .279, p = .014) and a medium, positive effect based on parent-proxy reports (Hedge's g = .522, p = .012). However, effects are attenuated by removal of a single intervention study. Overall, these findings supported the primary hypothesis that increased levels of physical activity would be related to better HRQOL in youth, although the magnitude of these effects did not represent a minimal clinically important difference (MCID) in most studies. Hypothesized moderators, including chronic disease status, weight status, sex, and study rigor, did not significantly moderate the relationship between physical activity and HRQOL. Exploratory analyses did not find intervention contact hours or age to moderate the effect of exercise on HRQOL. Future studies are needed to assess HRQOL in youth before and after high-quality exercise interventions to quantify the type, frequency, iv duration, and intensity of physical activity needed to change HRQOL to a clinically meaningful level. Although effects were small and analyses were limited, this study represents the first meta-analysis of physical activity and HRQOL across pediatric populations and may serve as a guide for future studies.

“…Overweight and obese children are of concern due to health consequences that may present throughout their lives. Specifically, such children are at an increased risk of developing Type II diabetes, hypertension, dyslipidemia, metabolic syndrome, and bone and joint disorders [2][3][4] . Further, they are more likely to suffer from psychological disorders, including low self-esteem, higher rates of anxiety disorders, body image disturbance, and depressive symptoms, as well as cognitive deficits that begin in childhood and continue throughout life [5][6][7][8] .…”

“…Considering that the habits acquired during childhood often persist over the course of one's life and that approximately 40% of obese children become obese adults, effective strategies to promote pediatric health must be a global priority and should be implemented early in life [10][11][12] . It is clear that improving health habits and lifestyles of children and their families play key roles in preventing obesity 4,13 . However, in order to successfully promote health in childhood, efforts should not only come from families, but also from society in general [14][15][16] .…”

Abstract--This study investigated the efficacy of using a diary to record daily routines, combined with guidance on healthy lifestyle (GHL) by a physical educator, on promoting changes in health parameters in children. Sixty-three children (10 ± 0.8 years) were allocated to one of the three following groups: a control group (CON, n = 18); a group that did not use the diary, but received GHL (G, n = 23); or a group that both used the diary and received GHL (DG, n = 22). Blood pressure, body composition, physical fitness tests (PF), physical activity levels (PAL), and dietary intake profiles were assessed in children and their parents before and after 2 months of intervention. The DG group improved their performance in PF, increased PAL, and reduced body fat (p < 0.05). Additionally, 56% of families from both DG and G reduced their consumption of unhealthy foods and 70,6% increased their consumption of healthy foods. Overall, it was concluded that 2 months of using a diary to record daily routines combined with GHL by a physical educator improved PAL, PF, body composition, and dietary intake profiles of children and their families.

Determinants of change in accelerometer‐assessed sedentary behaviour in children 0 to 6 years of age: A systematic review

et al. 2019

Summary Sedentary behaviour tracks from early to middle childhood, suggesting the need to intervene early. The aim of this systematic review was to identify determinants of change in accelerometer‐assessed sedentary behaviour in young children, with a view to informing interventions. Ten electronic databases were searched. Longitudinal and intervention studies were included if they (a) targeted sedentary behaviour in young children (less than of equal to 6 years), (b) assessed change in accelerometer‐assessed sedentary behaviour, and (c) reported on at least one determinant of change in sedentary behaviour. Intervention components were coded according to clusters of behaviour change technique (BCT) (ie, grouping similar BCTs components). Data synthesis was guided by the socioecological model. Sixteen studies (four longitudinal; 12 intervention) met the inclusion criteria. Two (out of five identified determinants) were associated with an increase in sedentary behaviour in longitudinal studies: the after childcare/school period and transition from childcare to school. Three (out of 21 identified determinants) were associated with a decrease in sedentary behaviour in intervention studies: “goals and planning” (ie, “behavioural contract”), “repetition and substitution” (ie, “graded tasks”), and “reward and treat” (ie, “incentives”). The environmental and interpersonal determinants identified in this review may help to inform behavioural strategies, timing, and settings for future interventions.
