Back to school after lockdown: The effect of COVID-19 restrictions on children's device-based physical activity metrics

Liezel Hurter et al.

Summary: The COVID-19 lockdown had an impact on physical activity in children in Wales, with boys being affected more than girls. The typical sex difference in physical activity levels disappeared during the lockdown but reappeared once children returned to school. Upper secondary school girls were the least active group and may require specific COVID-recovery interventions.

Through the Looking Glass: A Systematic Review of Longitudinal Evidence, Providing New Insight for Motor Competence and Health

Lisa M. Barnett et al.

Summary: This systematic review compiled evidence on the role of motor competence in children's physical activity, weight status, perceived motor competence, and health-related fitness. Strong evidence was found for negative association between motor competence and weight status, as well as positive pathway from motor competence to fitness. However, evidence for other pathways varied, including indeterminate and insufficient evidence for some associations. Future research should focus on robust longitudinal studies and experimental designs to further test the proposed conceptual model.

Predictors of attitudes and adherence to COVID-19 public health guidelines in Western countries: a rapid review of the emerging literature

Chelsea Moran et al.

Summary: This rapid review identified predictors of attitudes and adherence to COVID-19 public health guidelines, suggesting that older individuals, women, those who trust governments, perceive COVID-19 as threatening, and access information through traditional news media are more likely to adhere with guidelines. Only three experimental studies on interventions aiming to improve adherence have been identified, indicating a need for further research in this area.

You Can't Go to the Park, You Can't Go Here, You Can't Go There: Exploring Parental Experiences of COVID-19 and Its Impact on Their Children's Movement Behaviours

Negin A. Riazi et al.

Summary: This study explored the impact of pandemic-related restrictions on children's movement behaviors, highlighting individual motivation, parent work schedules, closure of parks, and weather as factors affecting children's physical activity. The findings emphasized the loss of structured activities and opportunities for outdoor play, exacerbated by limited independent mobility for children.
