Abstract Background Canada, Australia, the World Health Organization and other countries have released 24-hour movement guidelines for early years which integrate physical activity, sedentary behaviour, sleep, focusing on supporting children to achieve a healthy day. The guideline evidence synthesis, however, highlighted dearth of high-quality evidence, particularly from large-scale studies. Sleep Activity Database Early Years (SADEY) project aims assemble large, pooled database behaviours...
Abstract Background The COVID-19 pandemic and the associated economic recession has increased parental psychosocial stress mental health challenges. This adversely impacted child development wellbeing, particularly for children from priority populations (culturally linguistically diverse (CALD) rural/regional communities) who are at an already risk of inequality. needs were compounded by closure in-person preventive promotion programs resulting in organisations embracing technology online...
Sleep, sedentary behaviour, physical activity, and the composition of these movement behaviours across 24-h day are associated with cognitive function in early years children. This study used a Goldilocks compositional data analysis approach to identify optimal duration sleep, light moderate-to-vigorous activity desired outcomes cross-sectional included 858 children aged 2.8–5.5 from Sleep Activity Database for Early Years. (sleep, activity) were measured using ActiGraph accelerometers....

The aim of the present study was to characterize sedentary time (ST) and bouts among young children, across a typical week by day type (childcare days, non-childcare days weekends), over 12-month period.ST % (ST/accelerometer wear time*100) number bouts/hours were assessed using accelerometers at two time-points 12-months apart in 153 toddlers 74 pre-schoolers. Differences between baseline follow-up according whole different types calculated linear mixed models with adjustment for age, sex,...
