Seasonal changes in children's physical activity: an examination of group changes, intra-individual variability and consistency in activity pattern across season
Abstract
BACKGROUND: Components of activity that are more variable over time may be more susceptible to manipulation in activity interventions. AIM: The present study examined variability and consistency of components of children's activity across season. SUBJECTS AND METHODS: Sixty-four 9-11-year-old children wore an accelerometer for 6 days during winter and summer. Activity bouts (>or=4 s) greater than light (>or=LIGHT), moderate (>or=MOD) and vigorous (>or=VIG) intensity were recorded. RESULTS: Intra-individual variability of the activity components across season was greater for bout frequency (CV: >or=LIGHT = 6.6-9.9%, >or=MOD = 10.7-16.1%, >or=VIG = 17.0-26.8%) than bout intensity or duration (CV: >or=LIGHT = 3.4-7.4%, >or=MOD = 3.6-7.8%, >or=VIG = 4.2-10.0%, p<0.05) and for the frequency of >or=VIG bouts compared to the frequency of >or=LIGHT and >or=MOD bouts (p<0.05). All components of the activity pattern tended to track consistently when assessing >or=LIGHT and >or=MOD bouts (intra-class correlations (ICC) = 0.47-83, p<0.05), >or=VIG bouts in boys (ICC = 0.69-0.77, p<0.01) and frequency of >or=VIG bouts in girls (ICC = 0.82, p<0.01). CONCLUSIONS: Bout frequency was the most variable component of activity across season. However, children tended to maintain their rank for bout frequency. It would be of interest to investigate whether bout frequency can be manipulated in an activity intervention.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
