“…Recently, a study on children applied a cross-lagged panel model to distinguish both between- and within-person variance to investigate prospective within-person effects between PA and HRQoL [ 44 ]. According to this study, positive deviations from an individual’s level of PA were followed by a positive deviation in the individuals’ level of HRQoL at the next measurement occasion and vice versa .…”

Objectives: This study aims to quantify the cross-sectional and prospective associations between quality of life (QoL) and moderate-to-vigorous physical activity (MVPA).Methods: This study was based on the Swiss children’s Objectively measured PHYsical Activity cohort. The primary endpoint is the overall QoL score and its six dimensions. The main predictor is the average time spent in MVPA per day. Linear mixed effects and linear regression models respectively were used to investigate the cross-sectional and prospective associations between MVPA and QoL.Results: There were 352 participants in the study with complete data from baseline (2013–2015) and follow-up (2019). MVPA was positively associated with overall QoL and physical wellbeing (p = 0.023 and 0.002 respectively). The between-subject MVPA was positively associated with the overall QoL, physical wellbeing, and social wellbeing (p = 0.030, 0.017, and 0.028 respectively). Within-subject MVPA was positively associated with physical wellbeing and functioning at school (p = 0.039 and 0.013 respectively). Baseline MVPA was not associated with QoL 5 years later.Conclusion: Future longitudinal studies should employ shorter follow-up times and repeat measurements to assess the PA and QoL association.

Background: Not much is known about reciprocal prospective within-person effects between various coping strategies or between coping strategies and well-being in minors. Aims: Therefore, we used a random intercept cross-lagged panel model (RI-CLPM) with four-time points spaced 6 months apart to analyze how five coping strategies (seeking social support, problem-solving, avoidant coping, palliative emotion regulation, anger-related emotion regulation) were associated with each other and with well-being. Method: The sample comprised 702 minors. Their age at Time 1 was 10.30 years ( SD = 1.35; range: 8–14). Results: On the between-person level, problem-solving and palliative emotion regulation were positively related to well-being, whereas anger-related emotion regulation was negatively related. Among the coping strategies themselves, anger-related emotion regulation and problem-solving were positively correlated with seeking social support, and problem-solving and seeking social support were negatively correlated with avoidant coping. At the within-person level, avoidant coping was negative, and seeking social support was positively bidirectionally associated with well-being. Additionally, well-being positively influenced problem-solving, and seeking social support was positively and avoidant coping was negatively bidirectionally associated with problem-solving. Limitations: Due to the 6-month interval, statements are limited to only this time period. Furthermore, whereas we controlled for time-invariant covariates, we did not control for time-varying covariates. Conclusion: The findings underscore the importance of simultaneously examining different coping strategies along with well-being in a within-person design. Understanding the links between coping and well-being can contribute to the development and use of interventions promoting minors’ coping and well-being.
