Accelerometer data requirements for reliable estimation of habitual physical activity and sedentary time of children during the early years - a worked example following a stepped approach

This study presents a worked example of a stepped process to reliably estimate the habitual physical activity and sedentary time of a sample of young children. A total of 299 children (2.9 ± 0.6 years) were recruited. Outcome variables were daily minutes of total physical activity, sedentary time, moderate to vigorous physical activity and proportional values of each variable. In total, 282 (94%) provided 3 h of accelerometer data on ≥1 day and were included in a 6-step process: Step-1: determine minimum wear-time; Step-2: process 7-day-data; Step-3: determine the inclusion of a weekend day; Step-4: examine day-to-day variability; Step-5: calculate single day intraclass correlation (ICC) (2,1); Step-6: calculate number of days required to reach reliability. Following the process the results were, Step-1: 6 h was estimated as minimum wear-time of a standard day. Step-2: 98 (32%) children had ≥6 h wear on 7 days. Step-3: no differences were found between weekdays and weekend days (P ≥ 0.05). Step-4: no differences were found between day-to-day variability (P ≥ 0.05). Step-5: single day ICC’s (2,1) ranged from 0.48 (total physical activity and sedentary time) to 0.53 (proportion of moderate to vigorous physical activity). Step-6: to reach reliability (ICC = 0.7), 3 days were required for all outcomes. In conclusion following a 7 day wear protocol, ≥6 h on any 3 days was found to have acceptable reliability. The stepped-process offers researchers a method to derive sample-specific wear-time criterion.

Physical activity profiles and selected muscular fitness variables in English schoolchildren: A north–south divide?

The aim of the study was to compare and contrast habitual physical activity (PA) profiles and muscular fitness in schoolchildren from northern and southern regions of England. Data were collected from two secondary schools in the north east (NE) of England. The study procedures followed methods employed by the East of England Healthy Hearts Study in 10–16-year-old boys and girls based in the south east (SE) region of England and data were compared. Habitual physical activity (PAQ-A), vertical jump test, and hand-grip (HG) strength were assessed. We converted raw scores from all assessments to age- and sex-normalised z-scores. We recruited 597 children (58% boys) in the NE and compared findings to 597 age- and sex-matched boys and girls from the SE. Boys in the SE had significantly stronger HG scores, jumped higher, were more powerful (mean peak power: 2131?W vs. 1782?W; P?P?P?相似文献   

水分胁迫下亚精胺对小麦幼苗蛋白质含量与蛋白酶活性的影响

研究了水分胁迫下亚精胺对小麦幼苗相对含水量、叶绿素总量、蛋白质含量和蛋白酶活性的影响。结果显示,亚精胺预处理延缓水分胁迫下小麦幼苗叶片含水量、叶绿素含量和蛋白质含量的下降,抑制蛋白酶活性的上升。表明亚精胺预处理对水分胁迫的小麦幼苗具有防衰抗旱的保护作用。

浅论物理概念的分类及其教学策略

正确理解物理概念对于学生学习物理学科有着重要意义，科学而有效的物理教学方法应当重视学生心理活动的分析、解释与控制，并与学生的认知活动相符合。本文探讨了物理概念的分类及其特性，并从教育心理研究的角度提出物理概念教学的基本策略。     

学科活动·单元主题活动·方案教学

在幼儿园教育改革过程中,许多幼儿园疲于追赶时代潮流,从学科活动到单元主题活动,再到热极一时的方案教学,变到最后却发现教育质量并没有得到多少提高.其中的症结是什么?本文在分析了学科活动、单元主题活动和方案教学的基础上,指出三者之间不再是泾渭分明,而是处于一种边缘状态,正在逐渐走向融合.幼儿园教育改革的核心不是表面的教育活动形式选择,而是教师教育观念的深层变革.     

衔接理论与大学英语阅读教学

在英语听说读写四大技能中,阅读占有极其重要的地位。提高学生的阅读理解能力,在很大程度上是提高了他们运用所学外语的全部技能。将衔接理论运用于大学英语教学具体实践,可知阅读教学中有意识地运用衔接理论对学生进行阅读策略训练,能够有效地提高阅读理解水平。
