“…In a previous investigation among 7-14 year olds, each additional hour spent outdoors was associated with 7.0 more minutes of daily MVPA and 762 more steps/day. 19 Our findings are also in OUTDOOR TIME AND PHYSICAL ACTIVITY agreement with a recent systematic review that concluded that children who spend more time outdoors are more active overall, 9 and with a recent position statement on active outdoor play. 12 Consistent with previous research, we found that boys 5-6 years of age were more active than their female counterparts and that low family income was associated with reduced odds of meeting PA guidelines.…”

“…All eligible studies in a recent systematic review observed that children aged 3-12 years who spend more time outdoors accumulate more daily MVPA and engage in less SED. 9 Many other authors have emphasized the important role of unstructured play for children's physical, emotional, social and cognitive well-being. [10][11][12] However, most studies to date have been conducted in relatively small convenience samples; 9 therefore the generalizability of their findings is unclear.…”

OBJECTIVES: Previous studies have shown that children who spend more time outdoors are more active and spend less time sedentary, but these studies were limited by the use of small convenience samples. We examined the relationship between outdoor time and measures of physical activity (PA), screen time and sedentary time in a nationally-representative sample of young children.METHODS: Parental reports of outdoor time were obtained for 594 children aged 3-6 years (47.8% girls) who participated in the 2012-2013 Canadian Health Measures Survey. Participants were asked to wear an Actical accelerometer for seven consecutive days. Outdoor time and screen time were assessed by parent reports. The relationships between outdoor time and measures of PA, screen time and sedentary time were examined with linear regression models. Adherence to PA guidelines was estimated based on a betabinomial distribution, and adherence with the screen time guidelines was assessed through logistic regression models. All analyses were stratified by age group (3-4 and 5-6 year olds) and adjusted for sex, parental education and household income.RESULTS: Among 5-6 year olds, each additional hour spent outdoors was associated with an additional 10 minutes of moderate-to-vigorous PA (95% CI: 6-14), 27,455 more accelerometer counts/day (95% CI: 11,929-42,980) and an increased likelihood of meeting the PA guidelines (OR = 2.53; 95% CI: 1.68-3.82). No significant relationships were observed among 3-4 year olds. CONCLUSION:Outdoor time has a large effect on PA among 5-6 year olds at a population level. Future studies should examine the correlates of outdoor time to inform novel PA promotion interventions.KEY WORDS: Motor activity; child; television; surveys and questionnaires La traduction du résumé se trouve à la fin de l'article.

GAKO-HiTZAK:Haur hezkuntza, berrikuntza pedagogikoa, kanpo espazioa, jolasa, hezkuntza kalitatea. SArrErAHaur Hezkuntzako kanpo espazioak oso garrantzitsuak dira haurraren garapenerako (Fjortoft, 2004). Haurraren jolasean, ikaskuntzan zein garapenean izan dezaketen eraginagatik, kanpo espazioa goi mailako baliabide pedagogikotzat hartzea aldarrikatzen dute Moserek eta Martinsenek (2010). Horregatik, beren diseinua zaindu beharrekoa da (Miranda, Larrea eta Muela, 2014). Hala ere, Haur Hezkuntzako egunerokotasunean garrantzi eskasa ematen zaio kanpo espazioari. Ikerketei dagokienez ere, gure testuinguruan gaiak ez du ikertzaile askoren arreta piztu, Haur Hezkuntzan egin diren ikerketa gehienek gela barruko dinamika aztertu baitute (Miranda et al., 2014).Eskolako testuingurura mugatu gabe, gaur egungo gizarteak inoiz baino gehiago aldentzen ditu haurrak kanpo espazioetatik. Hainbat arrazoi daude hori horrela izateko, hala nola, teknologiak, trafikoa, eguraldia eta hezkuntza erakundeak (Doucette, Kowalski eta Ransom, 2007;Ernst 2014; Fdzila eta Said;2010; Maynard eta Waters, 2007). Teknologiari dagokionez, haurrak gero eta lehenago hasten dira horiek erabiltzen, eta sasoi batean kanpoan ematen zuten denbora nolabait ordezkatu egin dute (Doucette et al., 2007). Trafikoaren handitzea, berriz, arrisku faktoretzat hartu da eta horrekin batera kanpo espazioaren erabilerarako muga bihurtu da. Hainbat testuingurutan, ordea, Galeseko eskola batzuetan kasu (Maynard eta Waters,

“…Questionnaire surveys are relatively popular as they enable easy data acquisition from a large number of respondents. However, overvaluation in subjective answer evaluation might present a certain disadvantage (Gray et al, 2015).For this reason, some instrument-based PA measurement methods can be deemed optimal. Due to simplicity and sufficient validity of results (Crouter et al, 2013;Rothney et al, 2008), we have selected triaxial accelerometers as the most suitable for our study.…”

The aim of the study was to measure and subsequently evaluate the quantitative and qualitative factors of physical activity (PA) of primary school pupils in the Czech Republic in the autumn period using an objective method and to assess whether these factors differ significantly before and after clock shift from the summer time (Daylight Savings Time) to winter time. The data were acquired from 37 pupils (20 boys, 17 girls) aged 10-13, at primary schools in Brno (CZE) in the period from 22 October to 26 October 2014 and subsequently from 12 November to 16 November 2014. PA was measured using the Actigraph GT3X accelerometer (Actigraph corp., USA) in the week when the clocks were changed, on 26 October 2014 and two weeks later. Three business days and two weekend days were measured. The monitored characteristics included those related to energy output, movement time according to intensity and the number of steps. Changes in measured characteristics after the clock shift were tested statistically using Wilcoxon signed-rank test. Throughout the business days the pupils demonstrated more than med > 10000 steps a day and MVPA did not fall under med > 60 min/day. However, during the weekend these values did not exceed 6600 steps a day 39 min MVPA/day. When comparing the results of all the investigated PA factors before and after the clock shift, significant differences have been found only in boys during business days for moderate PA (p = 0.02) and MVPA (p = 0.04). The study has revealed substantial differences between PA of children during business days when compared to days off in the autumn period. However, the changes in the PA structure before and after the winter clock shift have only been diagnosed at the level of moderate PA and MVPA in boys, even though the daytime duration has been reduced significantly by more than one hour from 10 hours 23 minutes before to 9 hours and 16 minutes after the clock shift.
