“… 42 There are a few well-designed studies conducted in the Nordic countries using device-based assessments in preschoolers in relatively large samples, such as the Early Stockholm Obesity Prevention Project 43 and The Environmental Determinants of Diabetes in the Young 44 in Sweden and Finland, both of which target special populations (i.e., children at risk of obesity or type 1 diabetes), as well as geographically limited regional studies, such as the Preschool Physical Activity Study 45 and Active Learning Norwegian Preschool(er)s from the county of Sogn and Fjordane in Norway. 46 However, these studies were not included in our review because they were not designed to provide regionally or nationally representative data.…”

Background: Limited evidence exists regarding prospective associations for physical activity (PA) and sedentary time (SED) with body mass index (BMI) and muscle strength in young children. We aimed to determine prospective associations for PA and SED with change in BMI and standing long jump over 2 and 4 years in children aged 3–5 years at baseline. Methods: A sample of 262 Norwegian children (50% girls) was followed from 2015 to 2017 and/or 2019. PA and SED (hip-worn ActiGraph GT3X+) were measured at baseline and BMI and standing long jump at baseline and at follow-ups. Multivariate pattern analysis was used to determine prospective associations between the triaxial PA intensity spectrum (0–99 to ≥15,000 counts per minute) and the change in outcomes. Results: We found significant prospective associations between the PA intensity spectrum and standing long jump at 2- (explained variance = 5.8%–7.7%) and 4-year (explained variance = 4.8%–5.6%) follow-ups. Associations were negative for SED and positive for all PA intensities. We found no associations between PA/SED and BMI. Conclusions: Our findings suggest that PA and SED can predict future lower body muscle strength but not BMI in early childhood.
