“…From the 33 included records, 25 PF batteries were identified. Nine PF batteries were from America (six from the United States, two from Canada, one from Brazil) ( 20 – 28 ), nine were from Europe (two from the Czech Republic, one from each of the following countries Norway, Slovenia, Portugal, Italy, France, and Spain, one from the European Union) ( 15 , 23 , 24 , 27 , 28 , 30 , 32 , 41 , 42 ), four were from Asia (one from each of the following countries: Japan, Singapore, China, and Russia) ( 33 , 34 , 38 , 40 ), two were from Oceania (one from Australia, one from New Zealand) ( 22 , 36 ), and one from the Middle East (Bahrain) ( 31 ).…”

Physical fitness (PF) is a multi-component construct and a biomarker of health. Worse PF is related to vulnerability and predicts worse academic achievements. Thus, assessing PF is important to monitor health in youth. This systematic review aimed to identify and inform physical education, health professionals and entities about existing PF batteries and field-tests that can be used in school settings. A comprehensive literature search was carried out in five electronic databases (Academic Search Complete, Education Resources Information Center, PubMed, Scopus, and Web of Science) to identify PF battery protocols that can be carried out in the school setting. Overall, 24 PF batteries were identified. Regarding the PF components assessed, only cardiorespiratory fitness and upper body strength were contemplated in all batteries. Middle-body strength and lower body strength were presented in most batteries (21 and 19 of 24, respectively). Agility (16 of 24) and body composition (16 of 24) were also considered in several batteries, although to a lesser extent. Flexibility (14 of 24) and speed (12 of 24) were the PF components less represented in the batteries. Among the 24 identified PF batteries, 81 PF tests assessing the different PF components were encountered. The advances in the PF field-based assessment in school settings and health in youth resulted in the amplification of the number of existing batteries. Considering the connection between PF and health and the opportunity that the school setting provides to assess fitness in children and adolescents, there is a need for standardization and a consensus of PF assessments in this specific setting.

“…The children were then instructed to squeeze the JAMAR Plus hand dynamometer (JLW Instruments, Chicago, IL, USA) with as much force as possible; (4) sit-up (assess abdominal strength and endurance), where children were asked to lie in a supine position with knees bent at 90 o , with feet flat on the floor and legs slightly apart. The children were then instructed to lift the upper body until the hands touched the thighs, then curl back down, continuing this action for 30 seconds and the total number of sit-ups performed was recorded; and lastly, (5) V-sit and reach (assess flexibility of the lower back and hamstring muscles) (47) , where children sat on the floor with the measuring line between their legs with the soles of their feet placed behind the baseline, heels 20-30cm apart. Children were then instructed to slowly reach forward as far as possible, keeping the fingers on baseline and feet flexed.…”

Objective: To assess the nutritional status, growth parameters and lifestyle behaviours of children between 0.5-12 years in nationally representative samples in Malaysia, Indonesia, Thailand, and Vietnam. Design: A cross-sectional study was conducted in the four countries, between May 2019 and April 2021. Data collected can be categorized into four categories: (1) Growth – anthropometry, body composition, development disorder, (2) Nutrient intake and dietary habits – 24-hour dietary recall, child food habits, breast feeding and complementary feeding, (3) Socio-economic status – food insecurity and child health status/environmental, and (4) Lifestyle behaviours – physical activity patterns, fitness, sunlight exposure, sleep patterns, body image and behavioural problems. Blood samples were also collected for biochemical and metabolomic analyses. With the pandemic emerging during the study, a COVID-19 questionnaire was developed and implemented. Setting: Both rural and urban areas in Malaysia, Indonesia, Thailand, and Vietnam. Participants: Children who were well, with no physical disability or serious infections/injuries and between the age of 0.5-12 years old were recruited. Results: The South East Asian Nutrition Surveys II recruited 13,933 children. Depending on the country, data collection from children were conducted in schools and commune health centres, or temples, or sub-district administrative organizations. Conclusions: The results will provide up-to-date insights into nutritional status and lifestyle behaviours of children in the four countries. Subsequently, these data will facilitate exploration of potential gaps in dietary intake among Southeast Asian children and enable local authorities to plan future nutrition and lifestyle intervention strategies.

Purpose.The aim of the study was to evaluate the physical activity level, nutritional behaviours, and body silhouette concern in 15-17-year-old boys and girls from Eastern European countries. Methods. The research, carried out in 2015, involved 2145 secondary school adolescents, including 877 boys and 1268 girls (mean = 16.5, SD = 2.0). The results of the International Physical Activity Questionnaire (IPAQ) and Health Behaviours Questionnaire were analysed. Results. The questionnaire results allowed to conclude that boys were definitely more active than girls. A significant relationship between physical activity and the number of meals was found. Another significant relationship was observed between higher physical activity in boys who wanted to gain weight and in girls who wanted to lose weight. Conclusions. Both boys and girls have positive attitudes towards their health with regard to their level of physical activity, nutritional behaviours, and body silhouette concern. A significant relationship was found in the interrelationship among the features considered, with simultaneous gender differentiation.
