Abstract:

Although a number of studies have been conducted over the past decade on the association between screen time and developmental outcomes in children, most studies mainly deal with the problem of obesity and physical fitness of children, while the studies on the association of screen time and mental health are rare, and there is especially a lack of research concerning internalized problems in children. Early detection of psychological problems is one of the foundations of later successful prevention and treatment, and some research shows that as many as 20% of children, including kindergarten c

Abstract:

Background. Physical fitness in childhood is a marker of health as it reflects the functional status of most the body functions involved in the performance of daily physical activity and/or physical exercise. Measurement and monitoring of these indicators of health beginning from early age is of highest importance. So, the aim of this study is to examine physical fitness in primary school children and test the validity of physical fitness test battery . Methods. A sample of 415 children participated in the study. Physical fitness was measured by the 9-item test battery (Fjørtoft et al., 2011).

The obesity epidemic and the decline of fitness among children highlights the need for suitable interventions designed to promote Physical Activity (PA) and healthy habits. The purpose of our pilot study was to assess the feasibility of a school-based program among overweight and obese children, by examining changes in their body composition, PA, physical fitness, and some psychosocial determinants of active behavior. An additional objective was to investigate the reciprocal relationship over time between PA and body image. Self-reported PA and health-related fitness tests were administered to

It is widely recognised that improved health not only lowers mortality, morbidity and level of fertility, but also contributes to increased productivity and regular school attendance of children as a result of fewer work days lost due to illness, which in turn have implications for economic and social well-being of the population at large.
