School-based interventions modestly increase physical activity and cardiorespiratory fitness but are least effective for youth who need them most: an individual participant pooled analysis of 20 controlled trials

Timothy Bryan Hartwig et al.

Summary: The study found that school-based physical activity interventions have a modest positive effect on students' cardiorespiratory fitness and physical activity levels, but the effects were not distributed equally across subpopulations. Girls and older students benefited less than boys and younger students. Targeted strategies are needed to address the needs of girls and older students in future interventions.

Differences in Weight Status and Autonomous Motivation towards Sports among Children with Various Profiles of Motor Competence and Organized Sports Participation

Eline Coppens et al.

Summary: The study aimed to identify profiles in children based on actual motor competence, perceived motor competence, and organized sports participation, and to examine differences in weight status and autonomous motivation towards sports among these profiles. Children with average to high levels of AMC, PMC, and OSP had the most optimal profile, combining a healthier weight status with elevated levels of autonomous motivation. Additionally, AMC and PMC were found to be crucial for weight status, as profiles with lower levels of these variables tended to have higher weight status. Promoting AMC, PMC, and OSP simultaneously is important for helping children achieve a healthy weight status and being autonomously motivated towards sports.

Global prevalence of physical activity for children and adolescents; inconsistencies, research gaps, and recommendations: a narrative review

Salome Aubert et al.

Summary: This study found methodological inconsistencies in physical activity surveillance initiatives for children and adolescents, resulting in varying estimates of physical activity prevalence across countries and contradicting comparisons between initiatives. Consistent findings across all eight initiatives were insufficient physical activity levels among children and adolescents globally, lower levels of physical activity among girls, and a decrease in physical activity levels with age.
