Article Synopsis
- The COVID-19 pandemic has led to lower physical activity levels and more sedentary behavior in children and adolescents, prompting interest in mobile health (mHealth) apps as potential solutions to increase physical activity and improve physical fitness.
- This study reviews randomized controlled trials to assess the effectiveness of mHealth app-based interventions on promoting physical activity and improving physical fitness, while also examining factors that may influence their effectiveness.
- The analysis of 28 trials revealed that mHealth apps significantly increased overall physical activity and muscle strength, reduced sedentary behavior and BMI, but had little impact on moderate to vigorous physical activity levels.
Background: Motor development plays an important role in human development throughout the lifespans, from conception to death, and has received increasing scholarly attention in recent years. However, valuable comprehensive reviews and literature analysis on this topic are still lacking. Here, this bibliometric study aimed to identify global motor development research hotspots and trends on preschool children's motor development from 2012 to 2022.

Hyperaccumulators or hyperaccumulating transgenic plants with biomass are important biomaterials for phytoextraction. In this study, we show that three different HM transporters from the hyperaccumulator Sedum pumbizincicola, SpHMA2, SpHMA3, and SpNramp6, possess Cd transport.
