Researchers found that the preschoolers' total physical activity was 6.03 hours per day with 1.5 hours spent in moderate to vigorous activity. "This study highlights how important parents' physical activity is to shaping their young children's physical activity," said principal investigator Shari Barki...
As such, measures capable of capturing differing activity intensities in very short timeframes and over multiple planes are likely to have the most utility with this population. Accelerometers are well suited for this purpose, and a number of models have been used to objectively quantify preschoolers...

The University of Western Australia is teaming up with partners in the early education and care sector to find ways to improve young's children's physical activity, health and development.
Preschoolers' (n = 31) physical activity (PA) levels during indoor and outdoor childcare hours were explored using accelerometers. Participants engaged in 0.54 min/h (SD = 0.59) of moderate-to-vigorous PA (MVPA) and 14.42 min/h (SD = 6.78) of total PA (TPA) indoors compared with 5.03...

Preschool children are not meeting recommended levels of physical activity (PA) nor are they proficient in fundamental motor skills (FMS), which are the foundation for PA. As such, interventions are needed to increase PA and FMS in young children. This trial examined the effects of an environme...
Preschoolers' high level of energy may also be difficult for adults to sustain, Fisher added. With so many possible obstacles, addressing the problem will require multiple solutions, Lieser said. These might include professional development for teachers, integrating physical activity into state and loc...
