#1
Front (Question)

Common physical health outcomes studied in PA research in children. Strongest evidence?

Back (Answer)

BMI - also comp/ lean mass Bone health - particularly girls Cardiometabolic health (cholesterol, metabolic syndrome) Obesity Fitness, Motor control/ perf/ literacy Depression Asthma Injury Academic performance Grades Indicators e.g. Memory Strongest for cardiometabolic health, mental health, fitness and bone health

#2
Front (Question)

Describe risk of bias (ROB) in PA in children literature

Back (Answer)

Valid measure of SB used -cut points valid for children/adolescents Covariates such as MVPA included in analysis Representative sampling/ random selection Adequate % with complete data?

#3
Front (Question)

TV viewing associated with?

Back (Answer)

More than 2 hr a day unfavorable: • body comp • decreased self esteem • pro social behaviour • academic achievement in school aged children

#4
Front (Question)

Limitation of TV viewing data

Back (Answer)

Mostly self report/ proxy report

#5
Front (Question)

What is cognition? 3 main areas

Back (Answer)

Basic mental process we use in everyday life - Attention -Memory (working and longer term) -Executive fuinction - (cognitive control) Also percepton from various senses

#6
Front (Question)

How can we measure cognition?

Back (Answer)

Event -stimulus ID -Response selection - Response programming Repsonse Cognitive processes jointly measured by reaction time

#7
Front (Question)

Behavioural measurements pratical of cognition

Back (Answer)

D2 test of attention Phyiological studies e.g. EEG Activity/ cognition higher after walking than sedentary

#8
Front (Question)

Findings from a systematic review of PA/SB and cognitive function, academic achievement and limitations

Back (Answer)

Fitness, Single bouts of PA, particip[ation in an intervention benefit cognitive function Depends on constructs measured Caution as little experimental evidence

#9
Front (Question)

Why might there be cognitive benefits with PA/SB?

Back (Answer)

Not much explaination why? Physiological mech INCREASED BF and perfusion - MRI etc Socialsation in sport - decisions etc. Exposure - PA, sport, fitness (hard to unpick independent relationships) Combined impact cognitive, pyscho-socail (ability to work in groups, support etc) and improved school engagement leading to improved education achievement. Mixed evidence for each.

#10
Front (Question)

Another review, CDC, relationship between school-based PA (including PE) and academic performance? Backed up by later evidence?

Back (Answer)

PE, recess, classroom and extracurricular PA • Of all the associaXons examined, 50.5% were posi;ve, 48% not significant, and 1.5% were negative. Second review by Singh Strong evidence of a significant positive relationship between PA and academic performance later. Mostly from observational studies - more PA is related to improved academic from high quality evidence.

#11
Front (Question)

How can we measure academic achievement?

Back (Answer)

Standardised tests vs subjective grades

#12
Front (Question)

Can active breaks/ lessons benefit academic perf? CDC

Back (Answer)

Active breaks/ lessons benefit 8/9 studies

#13
Front (Question)

Variation in physically active lesson implementation/ idea behind them

Back (Answer)

Integration of movement into teaching of academic content Longer duration Across the curriculum

#14
Front (Question)

Why do PA/Sb and cognitive function outcomes vary?

Back (Answer)

depends on constructs studies

#15
Front (Question)

Single bouts vs daily PA on cognition?

Back (Answer)

Single bouts can benefit cog function in children, daily PA and cognition is equivocal (ambiguous)

#16
Front (Question)

Longer term active lesson evidence?

Back (Answer)

After 2 years - 4 months learning gains in stardised test scores from maths and spelling PAL (x3 a week)

#17
Front (Question)

Associations between SB/PA and GCSEs in the UK?

Back (Answer)

Objective PA and Self reported sed behaviour e.g. Screen and non screen activities and GCSE results from national records. Prospective 845 adolescents. 1 hr screen time at 14.5y associated with 2 fewer GCSE grades Still assoc after adjustment for PA and other SB Inverse u shaped relationship between non screen sedentary behaviour and academic perf with association peaking at 4h/day

#18
Front (Question)

Method of a systematic review

Back (Answer)

Keywords Search databases Remove duplicates Read all abstracts/ papers

#19
Front (Question)

Common mental health outcomes/ functioning outcomes in PA research

Back (Answer)

Anxiety Mental well-being Depression Cognitive functioning Educational performance i.e. Academic achievement

#20
Front (Question)

Aims of Cliff et al 2016

Back (Answer)

Is objectively measure total SB assoc with adverse health/development outcomes Patterns of SB assoc ^? Are associations independent of MVPA? What moderators of the association e.g. Age group or risk of bias?

#21
Front (Question)

Reults of Cliff et al 2016

Back (Answer)

No association with Adiposity (despite 11 with sig pos association) No association with Cardio-metabolic outcomes (8/29 at keast ibe sig outcome) Stat sig meta analysis between sedentary time and 5 studies with glucose/insulin. Weak positive association (r=0.07). ROB and MVPA were sig moderators however Publication bias No association with health related fitness Inconsistent/uncertain association with bone and musculoskeletal outcomes ROB in all studies regarding psychosocial outcomes No association (inconsistent/uncertain for 1/4 which was low ROB) Inconsistent/ uncertain gross motor function - few studies (3) Inconsitent/ uncertain for cognitive outcomes - few studies (3)

#22
Front (Question)

Cliff et al 2016 comment on strength of association between ST and health and development?

Back (Answer)

Limited evidence that total ST is associated with health and development in children and yound people, particularly when accounting for ROB and MVPA

#23
Front (Question)

Limitations in literature highlighted by Cliff et al 2016

Back (Answer)

However small number of subdies that adjusted for MVPA, bone and MSK, psychosocial development, gross motor skills and cognitiive outcomes. Small number of studies that examines associations for patterns of ST

#24
Front (Question)

Conflicting findings to Cliff et al 2016

Back (Answer)

Screen based SB time studies Evidence inadults which indicated overall ST and patterns are adversely associated with health outcomes
