20.500.12556/RUL-144789 Physical activity, screen time and the COVID-19 school closures in Europe – an observational study in 10 countries To date, few data on how the COVID-19 pandemic and restrictions affected children’s physical activity in Europe have been published. This study examined the prevalence and correlates of physical activity and screen time from a large sample of European children during the COVID-19 pandemic to inform strategies and provide adequate mitigation measures. An online survey was conducted using convenience sampling from 15 May to 22 June, 2020. Parents were eligible if they resided in one of the survey countries and their children aged 6–18 years. 8395 children were included (median age [IQR], 13 [10–15] years; 47% boys; 57.6% urban residents; 15.5% in self-isolation). Approximately two-thirds followed structured routines (66.4% [95%CI, 65.4–67.4]), and more than half were active during online P.E. (56.6% [95%CI, 55.5–57.6]). 19.0% (95%CI, 18.2–19.9) met the WHO Global physical activity recommendation. Total screen time in excess of 2 h/day was highly prevalent (weekdays: 69.5% [95%CI, 68.5–70.5]; weekend: 63.8% [95%CI, 62.7–64.8]). Playing outdoors more than 2 h/day, following a daily routine and being active in online P.E. increased the odds of healthy levels of physical activity and screen time, particularly in mildly affected countries. In severely affected countries, online P.E. contributed most to meet screen time recommendation, whereas outdoor play was most important for adequate physical activity. Promoting safe and responsible outdoor activities, safeguarding P.E. lessons during distance learning and setting pre-planned, consistent daily routines are important in helping children maintain healthy active lifestyle in pandemic situation. These factors should be prioritised by policymakers, schools and parents. children physical activity coronavirus-19 adolescents sedentary behaviour otroci telesna aktivnost koronavirus-19 true false true Angleški jezik Slovenski jezik Članek v reviji 2023-03-13 09:35:04 2023-03-13 09:35:10 2023-03-14 03:29:55 0000-00-00 00:00:00 2022 0 0 Str. 1094-1103 no. 7 Vol. 22 2022 0000-00-00 Zaloznikova Objavljeno NiDoloceno 0000-00-00 0000-00-00 0000-00-00 616.9 1746-1391 10.1080/17461391.2021.1897166 53553923 Physical_activity_screen_time_and_the_COVID_19_school_cl.pdf Physical_activity_screen_time_and_the_COVID_19_school_cl.pdf 1 9A0125B012EFF75029E50D3AB5F2926F 7d5cc51e05e0fb07f2e4ffcbf18d839304e1ef71340c1f117867b03ea77468ca 2bc362de-c17a-11ed-a314-00155dcfd717 https://repozitorij.uni-lj.si/Dokument.php?lang=slv&id=167300 https://www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.1080/17461391.2021.1897166 1 ec8b01c8-c179-11ed-a314-00155dcfd717 https://repozitorij.uni-lj.si/Dokument.php?lang=slv&id=167299 Fakulteta za šport Medicinska fakulteta 0 0 0
