Aprašymas

Movement Behaviour, Physical Activity, Sedentary Behaviour in the Early Years explores the latest evidence on movement behaviour - physical activity, sedentary behaviour, and sleep - in early years (under 6 years old). With chapters covering the epidemiology of movement behaviour, including prevalence, correlates and determinants as well as methods for measuring movement behaviour, this text outlines the historical development of the 24-Hour Movement Guidelines for Early Years guidelines and their global dissemination. It examines the prevalence of movement behaviours among young children across various age groups and explores individual and family factors that influence adherence to movement behaviour guidelines. It addresses the challenges of measuring movement behaviour and provides an overview of the analytical methods employed in the existing research.

Movement Behaviour, Physical Activity, Sedentary Behaviour in the Early goes on to highlight recent findings on the relationship between meeting the movement behaviour guidelines or the overall composition of 24-hour movement behaviours with health and development outcomes. It discusses recent interventions targeting movement behaviour to improve health outcomes or change behaviour. The book concludes with a review of the existing evidence on movement behaviour in young children, summarising the key findings from each chapter and outlining directions for future research.

This cutting-edge text is key reading for academics and students and all those interested in the evidence and directions of future studies in the field of pediatric physical activity, public health, and related subdisciplines.
