“…However, parents, teachers, and policymakers can implement interventions in factors (such as eating confectionery, playing sports, and sedentary activities) to reduce the rate of childhood obesity. Sports and sedentary activities were associated with dietary patterns and the quality of food choices which can help prevent childhood obesity 50…”

ObjectiveTo determine the prevalence and associated factors of overweight and obesity among primary school children (6–11 years old) in Thanhhoa city in 2021.DesignCross-sectional study.SettingSeven primary schools in Thanhhoa city, Vietnam.Participants782 children (and their parents).Primary and secondary outcome measuresTwo-stage cluster random sampling was used for selecting children and data were collected from January to February 2021. A self-administrated questionnaire was designed for children and their parents. Children’s height and weight were measured and body mass index (BMI)-for-age z-scores were computed using the WHO Anthro software V.1.0.4. Data were analysed using R software V.4.1.2. The associations between potential factors and childhood overweight/obesity were analysed through univariate and multivariate logistic regression analyses. Variables were selected using the Bayesian Model Averaging method.ResultsThe prevalence of overweight/obesity among primary school children in Thanhhoa city was 35.93% (overweight 21.61% and obesity 14.32%). The proportion of overweight girls was nearly equal to that of boys (20.78% and 22.52%, respectively, p=0.6152) while the proportion of boys with obesity was four times as many as that of girls (23.86% and 5.62%, respectively, p<0.0001). Child’s sex was the factor significantly associated with childhood overweight/obesity. Boys had double the risk of being overweight/obese than girls (adjusted OR: aOR=2.48, p<0.0001). Other potential factors which may be associated with childhood overweight/obesity included mode of transport to school, the people living with the child, mother’s occupation, father’s education, eating confectionery, the total time of doing sports, and sedentary activities.ConclusionOne in every three primary school children in Thanhhoa city were either overweight or obese. Parents, teachers and policy-makers can implement interventions in the aforementioned factors to reduce the rate of childhood obesity. In forthcoming years, longitudinal studies should be conducted to determine the causal relationships between potential factors and childhood overweight/obesity.

Declared by the WHO on March 11, 2020, the COVID-19 pandemic was accompanied by a number of measures taken to reduce the spread of the virus. Returning to normalcy will certainly have a major impact both on pupils, students and teachers, through dynamic activities carried out in the formal framework of the school but also through extracurricular activities, so that everyone is aware of the benefits of participating in such activities.: the feeling of belonging to a community, the need of the others, co-participation in the formation of their own personality and culture, the integration in society, the creation of a balance between individual and collectivity, as a model of behaviour which is to be reached. This article proposes to present a research project aiming at the implementation of extracurricular activities having in view the discovery and capitalization of the local potential (cultural, geographical, historical and sport). This way of approaching is more efficient because there is a need to identify the information acquired in the real environments, answering thus to more associated challenges with the students' theoretical preparation, general experience and design of extra-curricular activities.

“…Secondary to sedentary behavior is the risk for development of obesity with its own contributions for deconditioning (discussed below). This sedentary behavior plus obesity can have severe detrimental effects on the integrity of the MSK and cardiovascular systems for both adults and those undergoing growth and maturation, particularly as these conditions become chronic (Elagizi et al, 2020 ; Kanellopoulou et al, 2021 ). There is also some evidence for the shared interaction between these variables at the genetic level (Schnurr et al, 2021 ).…”

Physical activity, mobility or patterned mobility (i.e., exercise) is intrinsic to the functioning of Homo sapiens, and required for maintenance of health. Thus, systems such as the musculoskeletal and cardiovascular systems appear to require constant reinforcement or conditioning to maintain integrity. Loss of conditioning or development of chronic deconditioning can have multiple consequences. The study of different types of deconditioning and their prevention or reversal can offer a number of clues to the regulation of these systems and point to how deconditioning poses risk for disease development and progression. From the study of deconditioning associated with spaceflight, a condition not predicted by evolution, prolonged bedrest, protracted sedentary behavior, as well as menopause and obesity and their consequences, provide a background to better understand human heterogeneity and how physical fitness may impact the risks for chronic conditions subsequent to the deconditioning. The effectiveness of optimized physical activity and exercise protocols likely depend on the nature of the deconditioning, the sex and genetics of the individual, whether one is addressing prevention of deconditioning-associated disease or disease-associated progression, and whether it is focused on acute or chronic deconditioning associated with different forms of deconditioning. While considerable research effort has gone into preventing deconditioning, the study of the process of deconditioning and its endpoints can provide clues to the regulation of the affected systems and their contributions to human heterogeneity that have been framed by the boundary conditions of Earth during evolution and the “use it or lose it” principle of regulation. Such information regarding heterogeneity that is elaborated by the study of deconditioning environments could enhance the effectiveness of individualized interventions to prevent deconditions or rescue those who have become deconditioned.
