Prevalence and Correlates of Meeting Physical Activity and Screen Time Guidelines Among Children of English- and Non-English-Speaking Backgrounds in Australia.
Child Care Health Dev
November 2024
Institute for Physical Activity and Nutrition, Deakin University, Geelong, Victoria, Australia.
Article Synopsis
- This study explores the differences in physical activity and screen time among children of non-English-speaking backgrounds (NESB) compared to English-speaking backgrounds (ESB).
- It found that only 17% of NESB children met physical activity guidelines, while 63% met screen time guidelines, indicating significant disparities.
- Factors like maternal education and a child's environment (like having a yard) influence these behaviors, but only for ESB children, suggesting varying influences based on linguistic background.
National implementation trial of BeUpstanding™: an online initiative for workers to sit less and move more.

The University of Queensland, School of Human Movement and Nutrition Sciences, Brisbane, Queensland, Australia.
Background: The online BeUpstanding™ program is an eight-week workplace-delivered intervention for desk-based workers to raise awareness of the benefits of sitting less and moving more and build a supportive culture for change. A workplace representative (the "champion") delivers the program, which includes a workshop where teams collectively choose their sit less/move more strategies. A toolkit provides the champion with a step-by-step guide and associated resources to support program uptake, delivery, and evaluation.

Community Care Division, Population Health Campus, National Healthcare Group, #03-08 Nexus @ One-north, 3 Fusionopolis Link, Singapore, 138543, Singapore.
Background: Valid and reliable measures for assessing health activation in school-aged children are currently lacking. This study aimed to develop a scale to measure health activation and evaluate its psychometric properties among English-speaking primary school children in Singapore.
Methods: The development of the Health Activation Scale for Children (HAS-C) involved an extensive literature review, expert consultations, cognitive interviews with primary school children, and thorough discussions for dimension and item refinement.
The prospective associations of 24-hour movement behaviors and domain-specific activities with executive function and academic achievement among school-aged children in Singapore.

Article Synopsis
- A study examined how physical activity, sedentary behavior, and sleep—collectively known as 24-h movement behaviors—affect cognitive development in children, specifically focusing on executive function and academic performance.
- The research involved 432 children in Singapore aged 5.5 to 9 years, using wrist-worn accelerometers to accurately measure their movement behaviors and various cognitive assessments to gauge outcomes.
- Findings revealed that while overall 24-h movement behaviors didn't link to cognitive performance, reallocating time from moderate-to-vigorous physical activity to sleep improved academic achievement scores.
Ecological Momentary Intervention to Replace Sedentary Time With Physical Activity to Improve Executive Function in Midlife and Older Latino Adults: Pilot Randomized Controlled Trial.
J Med Internet Res

College of Nursing, University of Illinois Chicago, Chicago, IL, United States.
Background: Exercise interventions often improve moderate to vigorous physical activity, but simultaneously increase sedentary time due to a compensatory resting response. A higher level of sedentary time is associated with a lower level of executive function, while increased moderate to vigorous physical activity is associated with improved global cognition and working memory among Latino adults. Latino adults are the fastest-growing minority group in the United States and are at high risk for cognitive decline, spend more time sedentary compared to non-Hispanic populations, and engage in low levels of physical activity.
