Risky media use in terms of accumulating too much time front screens and usage before bedtime early childhood is linked to developmental delays, reduced sleep quality, unhealthy later adulthood. For this reason, we examine patterns pre-school children the extent which child family characteristics contribute during COVID-19 pandemic.A cross-sectional study digital by Canadian preschool-aged (mean age = 3.45, N 316) was conducted at start pandemic between April August 2020. Parents completed a...
Several studies conducted since the beginning of COVID-19 pandemic have shown its harmful effects on young people's mental health. In Québec and Canada, few focussed adolescents, even fewer these examined this subject using a methodology that involved comparisons data obtained before during pandemic, which is purpose study.The objective study to determine impact anxiety secondary 1 2 students in Québec, pandemic.Participants were 2990 French Canadian (grade 7) 8) Québec. Two independent...
This study compared the effect of pre-exercise hyperhydration (PEH) and euhydration (PEE) upon treadmill running time-trial (TT) performance in heat. Six highly trained runners or triathletes underwent two 18 km TT runs (~28 °C, 25%-30% RH) on a motorized treadmill, randomized, crossover fashion, while being euhydrated after with 26 mL/kg bodyweight (BW) 130 mmol/L sodium solution. Subjects then ran four successive 4.5 blocks alternating between 2.5 at 1% 2 6% gradient, drinking total 7 BW...
Although the school curriculum of province Québec, Canada, does not explicitly encourage teachers to provide outdoor learning experiences, it appears that there is a growing momentum for education. Thus, research question guided this study was: What are preschool, elementary, and secondary teachers' education practices in Canada? To answer question, we conducted survey collected quantitative data describe intentions, places they use, targeted, challenges. We used descriptive statistics...
This study aimed to examine the impact of COVID-19 pandemic on 24 h movement behaviors adolescents. was conducted capture their evolution from February December 2020, as well explore use technology for physical activity purposes by adolescents a strategy increase during pandemic. Physical activity, recreational screen time, sleep duration, and quality were self-reported 2661 using an online questionnaire. Participants also indicated, in comparison with previous winter (regular in-class...
Rapid discrete goal-directed movements are characterized by a well known coordination pattern between the gaze and hand displacements. The always starts prior to movement reaches target before velocity peak. Surprisingly, effect of size on temporal gaze-hand has not been directly investigated. Moreover, often produced in reciprocal rather than manner. objectives this work were assess during fast 1) 2) pointings. Subjects performed (experiment pointings with an amplitude 50 cm four diameters...
Following increased interest in physical literacy (PL), development of appropriate tools for assessment has become an important next step its operationalization. To forward the such tools, objective this study was to build foundations Évaluation de la Littératie Physique (ELIP), designed help reduce existing tensions approaches PL that may be resulting a low uptake into applied settings.
It is generally assumed that intestinal temperature (Tint), as measured with a telemetric pill, agrees relatively well rectal (Trec) during exercise. However, whether Tint reflects Trec prolonged, intense and continuous exercise when cold fluids are consumed unknown. Therefore, we compared half-marathon which water was ingested to prevent bodyweight (BW) losses >2%. Nine endurance athletes (age 30 ± 5 years) underwent 21.1 km running time-trial (TT) in the heat (~30 °C 44% RH) while BW were...
Sensorimotor control requires an accurate estimate of the state body. The brain optimizes estimation by combining sensory signals with predictions consequences motor commands using a forward model. Given that both and are uncertain (i.e., noisy), optimally weights relative reliance on each source information during adaptation. In support, it is known uncertainty in influences rate generalization visuomotor We investigated whether affects retention new relationship. This was done exposing...
Bien que l’aménagement flexible de la classe ait connu un regain d’intérêt dans le milieu scolaire au cours dernière décennie, encore relativement peu recherches se sont intéressées à cette pratique. Cette étude exploratoire trace portrait des perceptions d’enseignantes quant leurs motivations et inspirations opter pour pratique, intentions leur manière mettre en œuvre, aux défis rencontrés, bénéfices perçus, ainsi qu’aux ressources soutien sur lesquelles elles ont pu compter. Pour ce faire,...
We examined if a weight loss program improves the speed-accuracy tradeoff of goal-directed aiming movements obese individuals. Ten subjects aimed at targets different sizes from seated and standing posture. The kinematics was recorded. All participants were evaluated before after when reduction had stabilized. Before loss, movement times duration deceleration phases longer than they seated. These effects vanished loss. Weight yielded an increased speed upright posture this effect greater for...
Cet article relate la conduite d’une recherche-action-formation auprès équipe-école au degré d’enseignement primaire afin d’optimiser mise en œuvre période d’activité physique quotidienne. Un double dispositif d’accompagnement professionnel a été déployé pour soutenir les six enseignantes de classe 1 , avec collaboration l’enseignante éducation et à santé. Le collectif consisté tenue rencontres groupe ; le individuel s’est sous-groupes, dyades solo. Les démarches ont documentées l’aide...
Anxiety disorders have been on the rise among adolescents over past decade. The COVID-19 pandemic appears to contributed this increase, putting further pressure often already overburdened health systems. Universal prevention programs may offer a potential solution, but few evaluated in context of pandemic. objective article is measure impact universal program—the HORS-PISTE program—on several anxiety-related variables program consists 10 workshops spread two first years high school,...
Background The implementation of a quality daily physical activity program in school is influenced by multitude factors. Considering the characteristics and possible interactions factors when choosing study methods likely to influence interpretation results. Mixed approach, collecting both quantitative qualitative data, can lend more comprehensive understanding intervention its effects.Purpose This paper aims assess benefits underline theoretical methodological interrelationships this...
