Article Synopsis
- * Key measurements included waist circumference, physical activity levels (moderate to vigorous and light), sleep, screen time, and various blood metrics to assess health risks.
- * Results indicate that waist circumference, systolic blood pressure, and moderate to vigorous physical activity (MVPA) are crucial for understanding cardiometabolic health, suggesting that boosting MVPA can help reduce health risks in children.
Background: The importance of movement behaviors for health is well-known, although few studies have examined the compliance with movement guidelines in preschoolers from different living contexts. This study reported the compliance with the 24-h movement behaviors guidelines among low-income Brazilian preschoolers from rural and urban areas, according to age.
Methods: A total of 453 preschoolers (n = 222 urban), aged between 3 and 5 years, provided physical activity (PA) data (Actigraph wGT3X).
Behavioral, biological, and social correlates may be related to the association between executive function (EF) and physical activity (PA), when considering such variables as an integrated and non-linear system. Thus, the aim of the present study was to investigate the relationships between EF, PA and associated correlates in low-income preschoolers according to a network perspective. Thus, 142 preschoolers of both sexes, age 3-to-5-years-old (51% girls) were analyzed.
